Great horror writing reveals deep fears, social anxieties & personal traumas. It pushes boundaries, explores power, survival & identity. To craft lingering horror, focus on atmosphere, psychological dread, & character-driven terror. We need to care about those facing the nightmare. #WritingHorror

The brushfire in Temescal Canyon has exploded - over 30,000 people evacuated so far...the Palisades area is devastated & w/ wind gusts throughout the night, the area of evacuation is rapidly expanding. Many iconic places destroyed. Heartbroken for friends & our community. #palifire #climatechange

I can't resist a fun disaster film or tv show so I have to give a shout out to "La Palma" (2024, Norway), a gripping #naturaldisaster mini-series set in the Canary Islands. Dove right into impending volcanic chaos. And did i mention a queer subplot? #storytelling #Screenwriting #VisualStorytelling

Add SoonShiong to the endless parade of oligarchs pandering and taking the knee to the Orange Menace. It’s gonna be an endless 4 years of this crap. I was a devout subscriber to the @latimes.com for decades. Sigh.

Writer Toolkit-Part 4: Hot 🔥 vs. Cold ❄️ Writing Emotion doesn’t need hyperbole. 🔥 “She screamed, trembling in fear.” vs ❄️ “She clenched her fist, knuckles blanching.” Cold writing lets readers feel the heat, drawing them in through subtlety and collaboration. #booksky #storytelling #ScriptTips

Writer Toolkit: Evoking Emotional Intensity. Part 3: High Emotion (Full Drama): Big, cathartic moments req raw imagery & dialogue. Fast pacing. High emotion works when it’s earned—don’t jump to it without buildup! Eg: “As blood sprayed upwards, she screamed, her voice breaking.” #booksky #filmsky

Writer's Toolkit: Evoking Emotional Intensity. Part 2: Middle Emotion (Controlled): Balance emotion w/ realism. Mix internal thoughts + external actions. Emotion w/o melodrama. Eg. “She gasps; her palm presses flat against a window." Emotion present & grounded. #storytelling #booksky #screenwriting

Writer's Toolkit: Evoking Emotional Intensity First Up - Low Intensity = Subtle restraint. Use subtext in dialogue and action. Small details: tear filled eyes, trembling hands > "I’m scared." Let readers/viewers fill in the blanks. #writerslife #writingtips #booksky 💙📚 #VisualStorytelling
