Ugh, I can't believe I'm actually contemplating finally getting the iPhone bandwagon just so I can be part of group texts.😒

I'm going through an old script and noticed I had a few too many exclamation points so I did a search.

When you revise a line and it pulls the text up a line does anyone else feel like they just scored a touchdown? #scriptsky

At first I needed structure or I never would've known where to start. Even then I knew they were just rough suggestions. Now I have a much better idea of how to pace a script but can still use them as benchmarks, "Get your shit together, sir. You're on page 40 and just into act 2!" #scriptsky

Tom Vaughan @storyandplot.bsky.social · Sep 11

The idea that certain events happen on certain pages in screenwriting sounds ridiculous because it is.

But so are training wheels. Which is what those suggestions are.

Once you get comfortable with that rhythm, you can drop it and focus on the story's actual needs instead.

But there *is* lesbian space crime in my series, SEVEN SCOUNDRELS!
A revenge-obsessed fugitive leads a rag-tag band of outlaws on a mission to destroy the worst criminals in the galaxy - their old bosses.

Haha, I will watch a movie in the same genre as something I'm editing and do my rewrites at the same time.

Me this morning, "Ahhh, nothing to do today. I think I'm going to get out of the house, walk to do some errands and..." looks at temp... "Maybe I'll sit in the AC and write." #scriptsky

It's a numbers game, Gale. #Scriptsky

That explains a lot about Lynch's films, actually. 🤔 #scriptsky

It's only 8 episodes?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Tell me this is just a mid-season finale and we get more in 8 weeks. 😭 #Duster

Jon Enge @jonenge.bsky.social · Jun 14

I am asbsolutely loving #Duster. Rachel Hilson is such a badass, Josh Holloway is... fuckin' Josh Holloway, not to mention everyone else in this cast. It's giving me old school TV vibes only better.
@morganicink.bsky.social Thank you!
