What’s your favourite part of the screenwriting process?

I love the development stage, the brainstorming, playing “what if”, figuring out where the story goes and how it gets there.

That gives me the warm fuzzies.

How about you?

This is great Nate, thank you.

My two generals I’ve had

1 - no connection, didn’t like what I was selling?

2 - good connection, had 2 more meetings, then their prodco switched from thrillers to romcoms. *sigh* door is still open.

You know you’ve gone far into uncharted territory when you make a statement like…

“There’s just no good cannibal artwork for posters.”

The calendar says it’s Saturday.

I’m not inclined to disagree.

Have a good one!

Why/how are women still so naive as to not lock their apartment/home doors ALL THE TIME?

I learned to keep the doors locked from childhood. Maybe because my parents came from a large city to a small town and brought that safety thing with them, but LOCK YOUR DOORS! Always!

So, chatting about a new project with @leahfromsd.bsky.social (SHADOW OF THE WOLF) and figuring out who the protagonist is and while I’m always leery writing male protags, this story HAS one.

It’s the story of how Charles Bartholomew III restores his career and reputation.

That Hollywood meeting you're nervous about? Flip the script: they WANT you to be great. They're hoping you'll be the writer who solves their problems. When you realize they're rooting for your success, anxiety transforms into your secret weapon.

Unless you have either the director and/or producer hanging over your shoulder.

Janet Elizabth Swainston - Swanie Prod. Ltd. @swanieprods.bsky.social · 4d

I totally understand.

I’ve had sleep issues for years now, and after my surgery, sleeping in bed wasn’t happening.

But after 10 long months, I have finally got 6 hours sleep in bed, with only 1 bathroom break.

I feel glorious.

When we are young, we don’t know the value of sleep.

We fight it sometimes, we stretch it to the limit, we disregard it.

But when the ease of sleep is gone, and you have to work to get it back, it feels like a monumental task.

When achieved, a heroic journey, victory!
