Catching up with @leejessup.bsky.social and screenwriting friends IRL in NYC. Thank you @finaldraftinc.bsky.social for such an informative day!

Grace. Courage. Faith. Breakthrough. Clarity. #5amwritersclub #scriptsky

So proud of @caitlinmccarthy.bsky.social!

5 things you’ll find in my scripts:

1) Strong female protagonist age 40+

2) She not only survives challenge but thrives

3) Diversity/representation in characters

4) A personal phrase woven into dialogue to add to authenticity

5) All dramas — but add funny/quirky lines to lighten the moment

Santa gave me a new left knee for Christmas. “Breakthrough” was my word for 2025… guess it’s a compound one. Looking forward to the “through” as, together, we all thrive in 2025. Happy Holidays. #storytellers #writing #screenwriting #journalism

I am grateful for my growing writing/screenwriting community who support my creativity, applaud my progress, speak my name when I’m not in the room, and encourage me to keep going no matter what. Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s to a Breakthrough Year! #Writing #screenwriting #womenwriters #grateful

I had the privilege to join Prime Life Podcast to discuss “Breathing New Life Into Your Story.” Go to any of their platforms to listen. Thanks again to Mary Crean, Laura Dinan Haber, and Josef Katz - that was fun! #primelifepodcast #scriptsky #washashorewriting #writers

For anyone who retweets me this early in the morning, I will be submitting your name for consideration.

It's #5AMWritersClub, we have all kinds of weird, esoteric awards and honors.

My new lucky number.

Spent glorious time with Mother Dolores Hart whose longtime love, support, and friendship is so meaningful to me. It is her inspiration and belief in me and my storytelling abilities that helped me embark on my screenwriting journey. Grace. Courage. Faith. Onward. #screenwriting #trusttheprocess

What you can’t see is the soundtrack that accompanied the moment.

Congratulations to fellow #templemade Da’Vine Joy Randolph & Colman Domingo on their Oscar nominations.

2024: Year of Faith. Faith in myself and Faith in the process. Building on my Courage of 2023. What word defines your outlook? Happy New Year! 🎊🎆🎈 🎉

So saddened to learn that Andre Braugher has passed. Had the honor of interviewing him while I was a reporter at WGAL-TV and he starred in Homicide: Life on the Streets.

Thank you #EmeraldFennell for writing and directing such an edgy, bold screenplay. It inspires me to think big when it comes to my projects. #Saltburnthemovie is one of the best films of the year.

Dear fellow movie freaks, film critics, and awards voters… As you complete your Top 10 lists for this year, please don’t forget Past Lives and A Thousand and One. Just sharing. Just an idea. #PastLivesMovie #AThousandAndOneMovie

AI did not write [insert your favorite baseball movie line here]. On National Cinema Day, I proudly wore my #union made #WGA #SAG-AFTRA strike shirt. I support the WGA, a union I would be honored to be invited to join someday. #screenplay #writers #unionstrong #washashorewriting

Great meeting-up with my screenwriting friend & mentor Caitlin McCarthy. Thank you for being an inspiration to emerging women writers by building a table & letting us pull up a seat.
