I’ve dived gleefully into a research rabbit hole. Infusing real locations/terms from the Revolutionary War into this fantasy feature. ❤️
11 pages into the self-imposed 20 that I need to complete before I let myself dive into Stranger Things and KPop Hunters. 😂

Very thankful for my writers groups and friends who take their precious time to read when you know nothing about scripts. All your feedback is useful. Thank you. 💪🏻

Three more pages on the Romantasy feature done tonight and made an update to the outline. I’m going to force myself to write 20 pages over the next four days off from the day gig before I allow myself to binge the Upside Down out of Stranger Things.

Getting the right feedback can completely reshape your #screenplay, but knowing how to approach it is just as important as the notes themselves. Use these simple tips to navigate feedback with clarity, confidence, and a mindset that strengthens every draft you write. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

Only three pages written for the Romantasy feature today but those three pages excitedly ended (along with a few lives) Act 2 and started Act 3.
Goal is to finish it before the end of the year. 💪🏻

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Scheduled five query letters, gave script notes, did laundry and skipped between the SoCal raindrops to get groceries.

16 'Unfilmables' to Cut from your Screenplay (and how to fix them)
Film is a visual medium, right? It's purpose it to be watched. Yet it begins in written form - a screenplay - to be read - so there are two very different 'audiences' during the filmmaking process. Th...

Query emails to production companies can work as Plan B, but keep them to 7 sentences max. Include: polite opening, killer logline, why you're reaching out to them specifically. That last part matters - it proves this isn't a form letter blast.

Yes, querying is still a thing!
In addition to the Don'ts, for the love of gawd, DON'T use AI to write your query email.
Just don't.

The Cottingley Fairies appear in five photos taken by cousins Elsie Wright (age 16) & Frances Griffiths (9), from Bradford, UK. Their 1917 images caused many to believe the magical creatures were real....even fooling Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle #WomensArt

Let’s talk PUNCH-UPS.
Punching up a script is the process by which a script that’s working well gets funnier, tighter, and any remaining wrinkles get smoothed out.
I’ve been in hundreds of punch-ups and learned a few lessons along the way…

There are LOADS of different passes to do after writing a decent first draft, and looking for scenes where the hero might not be as active as they could be is one of them.
Here's a quick fix that might help you identify those scenes and fix 'em. #scriptsky

Well that was fun So.Cal. The My Shake app just blared unexpectedly during the middle of a conference call about practicing Drop, Cover and Hold On.
It’s time for the annual Great California Shakeout.
Always good to be prepared.

My new feature with the comps The Beekeeper meets Dexter if they lived in The Handmaid’s Tale is done!
And now going through my fabulous writers group.
