maybe we’re all just living
in the carcass of a dream
that died a long time ago.
Every time I’m compelled to write a script in reaction to the world, I lose my way, because, I firmly believe that the more local I am in my writing, the more universal it becomes.

When my vision becomes too wide in scope, it loses its potency. And we can’t be having that in times like these.
I haven’t watched this much baseball since I was 14. We are most certainly in the end times.
Still absolutely firm in my belief that we’d be better off as a species if more people admitted and embraced that we have no fucking clue what we’re doing.
Personally adore Thomas Newman’s score for Revolutionary Road.
Spec is out in the world. People reading.
Everything out of my control. Feels good to let go.
Had a great time chatting ‘bout my path into screenwriting at Hamilton Film Festival with Hamilton Film Board this past weekend.

Being on a stage without violently loud amplifiers drowning out my voice was strange but still a good time. #screenwriting

Since I haven't done a #StoryDNA post for a hot minute, I figured in honor of INSATIOUS landing on this year's #DeadList2025, now was as good an excuse as any to get into 🧵

Because you are going to read this and have questions 😅

Dead List day is always a good day! Some wild loglines on here to sink your teeth into and, speaking of teeth--

Stoked to have something a little different on the Dead List this time around. My body horror short story, The Thing With Teeth, is available to read! #TheDeadList
Nothing better than getting a great note
that makes you abolsutely stoked to rewrite.

Chop wood, carry water.
On Saturday, I'm joining a panel at the local film fest to chat about my path into screenwriting and, with every second inching closer to it, my imposter syndrome grows larger and larger teeth.
If the day ends with having written even one, true sentence, then it was all worth it.
Nothing like a quiet moment before bed
for my brain to give me ideas of
absolute nightmare fuel
for this new script.

May you live in interesting times.
One Battle After Another. What a movie.
Just another casual Sunday, contemplating if I should give up writing. Think I need to disappear for a minute and recalibrate.
Cheers! Haha, yeah got the idea from when I gave my mom one!
I tried to get away from that trope in a recent script, haha. Used a digital picture frame instead.
Another day, another draft of a short story. Idk, man. Writing, without a plan, for the sake of letting the mind take over narrative control, just feels right. #writing
Sooooooooooo damn stoked for this one. Huge Congrats, dude!
May you live in interesting times.
