I’m pretty proud. Especially since it’s during their Nicholl season.

I’m lucky that I have actors who love to read what I write and support/pressure me to put myself out there. So I love hearing them read anything I write (at any stage) and hear how they react to it in real time.

Anyone need some followers on Instagram? I have an hour car ride coming up and would love to follow some more screenwriters/filmmakers/awesome people who don’t do either.

Oh! I don’t want to bug them. I already did about applying to the 7s workshop haha. They’re great but I’ll give them some respite from their to-do list. I’m sure they’re flooded.

Can’t wait to join eventually!

I’d love to sign up for beta but no longer on reddit. Does that mean I would have to wait? (Totally fine btw!)

🙋🏻‍♀️ Depending on when you meet and via what medium. I can DM you a bit about myself but you can find some early WIP pages and little bouts of my writing on my profile. Would love to hear more.

Hi friends!

This is the episode my page is on.

For now I’ll be 😳.

You however can click “Notify me.”

Both equally valid and productive things to do. 👍

Depends. Sometimes I’ll dive right in. Other times wait it out. Whenever the mood strikes. I’m always working on like eight things at once so maybe the variance helps me ‘remove myself’ easier?

For #FunPageFriday here’s a first draft page five from my millennial theater kids slasher. 🔪 ☠️

Coworker: Leah are you ok? You look like you’ve been crying.

Me: Yeah, I’m sorry, man. I just watched the Andy Richter dancing clip on this week’s Dancing with the Stars on the way in like twenty times.

Drop an unhinged movie opinion with no explanation, I'll go first.

I'm not sure giving every "villain " this in depth and reasonable back story to why they're bad is helping society in general anymore and maybe we should knock it off for a bit.

Homogenizing genre movie scripts so every major character receives a defined character arc has done more harm than good.

I think the Twilight movies should have less plot.

I finished a feature I’ve been putting off for nine months (only had 20 pages - now a first draft is done). :)

Much earlier this year I submitted drafts of my first feature and first pilot. Since then, I’ve majorly rewritten. Just got my scores & notes.

Last year, they offered an option to resubmit a revised draft. I’m hoping they do that again cause I’d love to see how the new versions stack up! #scriptsky

This was the first Batman I ever saw and I love it.

What is your favorite guilty pleasure movie that others consider ‘bad’?

No judgment!!!! You like what you like!

Hey #scriptsky! I gotta a question tonight. Does your writing get compared to anyone else’s?

I keep getting Edgar Wright meets Charlie Kaufman (which I’m not going for intentionally but ♥️ obviously).

What are the ones you get repeatedly? #screenwriting

This is the first page of one of my 12/24 hour projects from way back when so it’s rough but yes this is an adult version of Disney/Nickelodeon’s Doug and no I don’t really regret it but probably should. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Going to be dusting this pilot off soon.

This was the first screenplay I ever wrote (as a part of a 12 hour challenge!) right before my first feature Felt and it’s so silly.

I have such a soft spot for this crew of weirdos. #FunPageFriday #write #scriptsky

Just made it! Here’s the third and fourth page of my dark horror comedy Can You Stay Late? #ThirdPageThursday #scriptsky #horror #comedy

Totally get that.

For me the hope (and mission statement) was by having a totally free space where everyone, including myself, was there because they truly wanted to be it’d lead to a stronger, more supportive (and more varied) community.

…but also sometimes it’s exhausting.

🤐 and yet… they would never attempt to do what I do without a paycheck.

Tale as old as time.
