Today I turned off the news, put my headphones on and wrote 15 pages. #Writing.

Cocktails & Movies contributor @KellyJoBrick sat down with writer Rob Edwards to discuss Captain America: Brave New World and writing in the MCU. ow.ly/8lTH50V51fv #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld  #MCU #writing #cocktailsandmovies

The cocktail is actually quite good

Decadent, indulgent, and oh-so-seductive. The Chocolate Martini isn’t just a cocktail—it’s a temptation in a glass. 🍸 Pair it with "Chocolat.” Sip. Watch. Melt. 😍 📺 Full Cocktail Recipe & Movie Pairing Here ➡ ow.ly/UJk750UXgCc #ValentinesDateNight #MovieMagic #CocktailsAndMovies #Cocktails #Movies

Baking is a great decompress from writing. #baking #writing

Website is finally launched! @offtopictim himself is acting as webmaster, movie reviewer, bartender, reporter, sales manager, event planner and CEO, it's going to be slow going at first. If you want to help out, we can use it! www.cocktailsandmovies #cocktailsandmovies #cocktails #movies

Some days I am a writer who writes and enjoys writing. Some days I am a writer who writes. Some days I am a writer who enjoys writing. And some days I’m just a writer.

In the vein of keeping my blue sky, positive and fun, I present this picture of my home office coworker from years ago. #Mozzie

Tom Hardy is my spirit brother…

Just like Twitter, another social media billionaire has fallen in line behind the slow moving coup as Meta announces that it’s getting rid of its #FactCheckers

Agreed!

Me finishing a third draft and finding a type in the first page I let my mom read in thanks for use of her dining room table for a week.

Now I can play with my nephews’ and nieces’ dog. Who could care less about the amazing rewrite I’ve been working on the last week here in mid Michigan.

Thanks to mom’s preoccupation with YouTube chateau makeover shows leaving me with lots of time while visiting and the old family dining room table providing lots of space, 3rd rewrite is done on “Travel by Night.”

Merry Christmas from all of us! #christmasmovies #tradingplaces

Hi, for one, will miss TikTok. It gave me great recipes and some good golf tips. The Chinese can have my search information, it’s not like Google , Facebook and Twitter aren’t collecting and selling it anyway . #Food #Recipes

Making some Christmas cocktails while we ready to soft launch the new cocktailsandmovies.com website.

I don’t want to be anti-anything here. I want to be PRO things here. - Pro movies in theaters. - Pro good cocktails with friends before those movies. - Pro standing with fellow #writers and giving them encouragement rather than tearing them down. - Pro what good can be done instead of complaining.

I really like Disney’s Star Wars: skeleton crew. I didn’t think I would, but it’s cute and funny and set in Star Wars. #skeletoncrew

Can’t think of two better movies for Thanksgiving! #PlaneTrainsandAutomobiles is truly one of the greatest films. #ThanksgivingMovies

90 years!!! Go #DetroitLions!!! www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

#Wisconsin #Badgers basketball is on. A. ROLL. #OnWisconsin

Oh, and I have my own social media consultancy (strategy and some content) and LOVE to Uber as well around Los Angeles to take breaks and see the sites... #hustling So what can I do for you?

I'm doing all this #writing while ALSO trying to (re)build @cocktailsandmovies.bsky.social again into a site for #cocktails and #movies with teh following 5 components: 1. Cocktail recipes 2. Cocktail/industry news 3. Movie reviews 4. Movie news 5. INTERVIEWS!!!! And I could use help and intros!

While I let my TV pilot rest after a third rewrite, I started a thriller feature, "Travel By Night." I really like this one and created a fantastic world just under the surface of the waking world. (forgive the synopsis - it's the only one I could find on short notice) #writring #screenwriting

My first attempt at a pilot was called "interesting," but the plot was "all over the place with A LOT going on..." I think that's code for trying to do too much for a pilot. But, I like it and the concept. It might be a better book series first...

I just checked my dark skies app feed, a.k.a. Twitter, and there isn’t a damn thing that I’m interested in responding about. It’s a horrible toxic cesspool and I’m glad to be here.

I’m watching @bsky.app’s Jay Graber on CNBC. It’s so refreshing to see somebody positive and levelheaded about what social media CAN be. To that end, I learned that I can create and share of feed of just #cocktails and #movies on @cocktailsandmovies.bsky.social Come join us!

Having trouble adding photos. can anyone offer a reason why?

Checking out some stunning new pieces of art from my neighbor here in Hermosa Beach, California. @dricaloboart. (not sure if she’s here on blue sky yet.)

“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” - Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist You CAN judge a book by its cover. This was the first book I bought after moving to California in 1993 (I liked the cover) and it has guided me ever since.

Low carb. Zero sugar. All good. Homemade chocolate pie cups.

And so it begins! Armed with a fantastic and scary outline (in my own humble opinion), I am embarking upon writing my first horror film. #screenwriting

Such a funny book. There are some amazing books in my late father‘s library. #MarkTwain.

“Creativity is intelligence having fun” - Albert Einstein. Apparently, I left a lot of unintelligent people behind at the old cesspool “town Square.”

Busy today! “Reflected” - my first attempt at writing a horror film is underway today! It’s a contained psychological horror, film about eight social media influencers trapped in an off-season beach house.

This is my first post. I’m going to stick to positive vibes and all things, writing, movies, TV and entertainment. I hope you will too.
