I just submitted the second draft of my second feature to The Black List. I was hoping for some fresh eyes, someone who doesn’t know me to give me a bit of direction.

Whoah. 😳

Finishing these edits tonight. #scriptsky
Reading is tonight in Manhattan.😳 #scriptsky

I will say this cast isn’t only super talented but also super nice. Before our last rehearsal they did a dramatic reading of the chat where the mod was nasty to me to show me how ridiculous it was. They also offered to fight him. I will never recover.

I had writing news I was excited to share in a group, but the mod tore me down in DMs for it. Now, instead of feeling happy, I’m in tears. Life’s a rollercoaster.

Writers need spaces like these to share rare good news, since no one else truly gets it. Please keep that in mind. Be kind. #scriptsky

Yesterday was crazy (in the best way) for my creative pursuits, and today I’m supposed to sit at my desk at my day job like none of it is happening when it’s all I can think/fret about. The writing life is a weird one. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #writing #scriptsky

Oh. My. Effing. GOSH!!!

And that’s all I can say about that for now. #scriptsky

I’m in!

Here’s mine for Can You Stay Late (according to Black List and y’all so I’m trusting you here!):

First rehearsal for my reading of my feature is tonight!

In two rehearsals and less than a week we’re getting this thing going. 👍🏻 #scriptsky #reading #nyc

Welp, I guess starting to put my writing out there is working out. Crazy day. If you had asked me just a month ago, I would’ve been like there’s just no way. #scriptsky

Some of it was acting and some writing but Egon (Harold Ramis) did both so #Ghostbusters takes the cake for me. Harold did little things like this throughout.

Hi #HorrorWritersChat

I’m new to horror (and screenwriting relatively tbh), but I somehow write dark comedic action horror. I’m a notorious genre fuser. I love zombies, creature features, and ensemble stories.

My writing’s been described as Edgar Wright meets Jordan Peele which is kind of cool.

Q1 - DOUBLE FEATURE

Glad you could join our (virtual) cinema trip!

First, let's introduce ourselves and share the horror subgenres we write in.

Now, what are we watching?

Share the two movies/films that have inspired your writing or that capture the vibes of your work.

My first official big kid reading is happening in NYC, baby! And I got all my picks like the greedy little gremlin I am. #scriptsky

If anyone has any tips about how to get word out with such a quick turnaround (November 25th) get at me!

Also, I saw #Bugonia (our version). Heck yeah.

Giving feedback on two features and a pilot this week (somehow). Heads-up: I’ll be PTO for nearly two weeks at the end of December, so if you’ve got something that needs eyes, hit me up. My price is the best price - free! Though ego boosts in the form of shoutouts keep me warm at night. 😉

Second draft of Can You Stay Late = Done. But, like, a writer’s ‘done’ where I’ll tweak at random cause I have issues. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #scriptsky

Does anybody have anything up on #StoryPeer that they want notes on (particularly from me)? I keep clicking stuff and chickening out. #scriptsky

My coworkers came up to me astounded today… because they thought I was 24-25.

I am 37.

Crap. Now I probably have to do a better job. :(

So no #FirstPageFriday today. More like first draft of #FunPageFriday

A group of millennials reunite at their childhood theater camp, but the getaway turns into a nightmare when one friend’s girlfriend starts killing them off in a twisted act of revenge.

One thing I love about my job is that there’s a guy in accounting I can start a conversation with by saying, “So, the ending of Final Destination 5…” and he’s immediately on my wavelength and we don’t talk for a week after and that’s when I bring up The Mist ending. #moviesky #scriptsky

I’m feeling left out. I didn’t get AFF notes for my second rounder feature. Am I the only one who didn’t get them? Maybe my script was so bad it broke the readers. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #scriptsky

She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle.

Anyone who said they would move out of NYC if Mamdani won should be forcibly removed if they don’t do so.
