One should be a lot of fun. Eighteen should be fairly brief, since they're just to get live quotes from some honorees I'm writing about. Trying to schedule as many for the same days as possible so I can have interview days with a couple uninterrupted writing days in between.

Pro tip for publicists: if a reporter or writer or anyone requesting and interview and says they want to schedule a phone call, don't schedule a Zoom (or worse yet Teams or something else).

Looks like I'll miss most of this week's #FreelanceFriends. I've for 19 (maybe 20) interviews to do over the next 10 days or so, and two of the shorter ones bookend the chat.

I love winter as long as temps and windchills are above zero and there’s no ice. But I also love not having a sky high heating bill.

Yes to live theater! I wonder sometimes if increasing use of generative AI will lead to more interest in in-person performances from real flesh and blood people… #scriptchat

Sorry for your loss. Same boat here. One month to the day and I’m slowly getting back to work mode. #scriptchat

By the time I finish a draft of anything, the outline has arrows, cross outs, and all kinds of changes. Like pretty much every recipe I’ve ever cooked. -#scriptchat

I use outlines to help break complex things (book, script, article) into sections to tackle one at a time. It helps me stay on pace in terms of page counts or word counts. #scriptchat

I use Deck.Blue on my desktop computer for that chat, since it’s during my workday. #scriptchat

After the past month just knowing everyone made it through the day is considered a good thing. Everything else is gravy. #scriptchat

Tip one: let the more tech savvy people figure out how to make it work. Tip two: follow their advice.

There is always a point in that chat when new posts grind to a halt. So Bluesky is not perfect. #scriptchat

I’ll be on pins and needles for a while, I’m sure. But the naysayer part of me thinks something positive happening for me is a sure sign of an apocalypse or other tragedy. #scriptchat

it took a while to get our weekly #FreelanceFriends chat figured out here, but it got easier. @angelatague.bsky.social and @amylhampton.bsky.social are among the folks who figured it out. #scriptchat

Deck.Blue helps streamline it When I do bluesky chats on my computer. But I forgot to set that up on my iPad ahead of time. And I’m using my iPad. 🙄 #scriptchat
