A hot mint mocha by my side, I'm ready to make some progress with my script (THE TIME JERK) today! 📝

I've discovered that I need to squeeze in a few more necessary scenes and characters; time will tell if this story remains a half-hour pilot or if it'd serve better as an hour-long. 🤔

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! That's totally okay; life happens!

You've got a LOT (of some really amazing stuff) on your plate. Keep up the momentum; you're doing great, and you've got this! 👏🏼✨️

Taylor R.W. Brown @taylorrwbrown.bsky.social · 2d

Had a lovely time tonight for part two of our monthly Bluesky writers' group for October! 🎃

It was inspiring to hear what everyone is working on; such a kind group of folks writing a variety of genres. 📝

Stay tuned for November's RSVP form! 👀

Tentatively, the next date is Nov. 8th at 4 PM PST. 🗓

Thank you so much for the kind words (and vibes), Shan! 😊

I'm still getting through about a week's worth of updates that I missed on here, haha.

I hope all is well! 🫶🏼✨️

Taylor R.W. Brown @taylorrwbrown.bsky.social · 3d

That's okay! It'll be just as great to see you at the next one(s). 😊

I'll likely do two dates again for November!

The hardest writing lesson: creativity isn't a constant flow. It ebbs with depression, not because you've lost your gift, but because your mind is fighting battles more important than word counts.

Slowly returning to Bluesky after a whole week of debilitating pain and flare-ups.

While I'm still in a great deal of pain (9 to 10/10 pain levels, whereas a 5 to 6/10 is my "ideal" typical daily range), I'll do my best to catch up on updates from all of you lovely folks this morning. 💁🏻‍♂️💖✨️

If you had filled out the RSVP form for tomorrow's meet and greet & writing group, I've just emailed you the second (and final) reminder!

So far, it looks like we'll have a group of around six people. I'm grateful for all of the responses, and I hope to see you there! 😊

As much as I love autumn, the change in temperature and pressure has been contributing to some flare-ups lately; 9/10 pain levels, and I'm dizzy, nauseous, anxious, depressed…

Bleh. 🛌🏻

This, along with my Bluesky feeds glitching these past few days, made me realise I just need rest. So I shall. 👋🏻

I convinced my IRL friend to join Bluesky!

They're an amazing artist and writer who introduced me to Baldur's Gate 3. They've been busy creating (mostly NSFW) BG3 and Dragon Age fanart/fanfic.

They're beginning to write their first novel, so they might join in on future monthly writing groups! 😊

ratsandbats.bsky.social @ratsandbats.bsky.social · 10d

Vile, my 1st BG3 Tav: Barbarian who romanced Astarion, while doing a mostly "good" run.

My inspo for writing fanfic: A collection of related stand-alones that are almost entirely pure, shameless smut.

Haha, yeah. I'm not surprised to hear that!

For what it's worth, I feel like seasons 2-5 were absolutely epic and beautifully written, which makes up for it finding its footing in S1 and for the completely left-field S6-7.

Overall, the series' greatest strength lies in its badass women, IMO!

I'm rewatching The 100 for the first time since it came out. My partner has never watched it, so it's been really fun! ⚔️ 🏞

Rewatching it through a screenwriting lens has been amusing. It really found its footing by S2. I wasn't a fan of the final season, but I may feel differently this time.

How I'm entering October:

a man and woman are dancing in front of a sign that says netflix on it

Alt: A GIF from the TV series "The Haunting Of Hill House", showing the character Nell dancing with her husband before the shot abruptly cuts to a spooky scene of her dancing alone (but in the same fixed position as in the scene with her husband) in an abandoned house.

I had previously used standard time, but we are still under daylight time. Whoops!

The rest of the info is accurate, and I'll soon update the form as well.

Here's an updated graphic to reflect the accurate times:

Oct. 11th @ 4 PM PDT/6 PM CDT/7 PM EDT

Taylor R.W. Brown @taylorrwbrown.bsky.social · 12d

Whoops! Not sure how I didn't catch this.

I did not mean to use standard time, as we are still very much in PDT/CDT/EDT. Other than that, the specific times are still correct.

Thanks for noticing this!
