#firstpagefriday #scriptsky Between rewrites of my summer features I wrote a 3 page short. “Lunch Hour” inspired by a true story.

Having tried this one in a while and I remain a glutton for inattention so here it goes: #ThirdPageThursday! Post the third page of something. Four shalt thou not post, neither post thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. #scriptsky

Can use some happy thoughts: I have engaged with a prod co backed by a major studio to co-write a limited series. First meeting went great. Writing sample was an exact match. Additional materials were shared between parties. Decision before 8/20. #scriptsky

Had to share this feedback from a reader "A genuinely rare thing, a blues biopic that earns its mythology through ferocious prose, a Devil for the ages, and the conviction to let its hero be complicit in his own destruction; Eric Lotter writes like he's been to the crossroads himself." #scriptsky

#scriptsky No one panic. Just sit down for this - I got a full script request for my latest script. Director/producer with a decent investor group behind her. I’m gonna wait a full 26 minutes before I hit send to make it look like I did not have it ready to go. Teased with excerpt from coverage.

So I missed an email. Flickers’ RIIFF selected Age of Aquarius as a Semi Finalist. Again congrats to fellow semi finalist. Final selections will be in the fall. This is pretty cool. 2 scripts selected. I may have to check out the fest next month. #scriptsky

This is very cool. Flickers’ RIIFF has advanced Monitor as a Semi Finalist. Final rounds are in the fall. This one has some prestige to it. Honored for the selection. Good luck to all of the other projects that have advanced! #scriptsky

So this happened last night! As a self-taught guitar player (and a self-taught screenwriter) this story was challenging to research and incredibly fun to write. I sent it off to readers and early feedback is encouraging. The world knows this story. But not Devil’s version. #scriptsky

Excited to share my latest supernatural thriller has been named a finalist in Cannes Script Festival Summer 2026! This is a new project with minor tweaks every day. But it is a solid story that will be a mid-budget award adjacent project for the right production company! #scriptsky

#scriptsky Feedback on an earlier draft of "A Century of Rain": I have addressed some of the issues. A supernatural thriller AND art-house tragedy. I can do that. The comment about Lena coming in earlier, a fully realized co-protagonist arriving on page 60, breaks too many rules.

Great day in the lotterverse! My latest feature script is getting some love. And my dark vigilante script is standing out too. These Official selections are eligible for advancement this weekend so cross your fingers and toes! #scriptsky

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one writer to dismiss the self-respect which has kept them silent and unnoticed, and this happens at the end of a workweek, we declare this as #FirstPageFriday and do impel themself and others to post a page from a project. 🇺🇸 #Scriptsky 🇺🇸

#scriptsky This was a blast to write. A supernatural thriller. “A Century of Rain” “After being cursed with immortality and a lethal touch in the trenches of WWI, a man spends a century searching for the one person who can hold him without dying."
