My corrupt Hollywood brain when THE ODYSSEY credits rolled: "So glad Homer got story credit."
working through editorial notes bc i know they will make my manuscript better but i am still a sensitive writer
The quintessential LA screenwriter experience: on a deadline during a heat wave.
Why do all my Youtube vloggers have cute cats or do I only follow vloggers with cute cats?
These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...
These photos of FNs community members fleeing their homes by boat are genuinely apocalyptic (Photo via Wayne Wastaken of Collins, Ontario, who says his “hometown is gone”) www.facebook.com/share/r/1ArN...
I started learning English in 3rd grade. Was in ESL classes for two years. In 6th grade, my homeroom teacher gave me the first book in the Redwall series. I had never read anything longer than a Goosebumps or The Boxcar Children by that point, so I was doubtful I could read something so dense...
The idea that a book could be considered inapprop for kids because it's "too difficult" doesn't sit well with me. Let 'em try. If it's too hard, they'll put it down. But give them a chance to rise to the challenge.
I should really lock in and revise this TV pitch but I stress-doodled instead.
remember in that thread how i said i had some revelations coming? here they are… theankler.com/lost-produce...

Reading books (or scripts) as a writer is just constantly oscillating between "I can do this!" and "Wow I'll never be able to write like this I should just give up".
Been in a big fantasy mood lately and I'm really enjoying THE WILL OF THE MANY. So pleased the second book is already out (and it's somehow even longer than the first?!).
I'm back! Happy to have finally put a big deadline behind us. Up next: revising a TV series pitch that's been woefully neglected. I also *should* finish the horror short story I started... but a new horror idea has taken hold of me and I fear I must respond to its call...
We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:
Few things are better than that long, hot shower you take after turning a script in.
Sometimes work consists of watching a 10-hour long video game lore video and I'm very okay with that.
OMFG A NEW GAME FROM THE SHADOW OF COLOSSUS CREATOR??????? THIS IS EXTREMELY MY SHIT
and no, none of what is going on right now leads to “better” shows - why? BECAUSE WRITERS/DIRECTORS/CREATIVES DON’T GET ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES TO GET BETTER AT THEIR CRAFT AND CAN’T EARN ENOUGH TO STAY IN IT FOR LONG ENOUGH TO GAIN MASTERY. (10/14)
@isabel.kim Excited to read Sublimation! Happy belated pub day!
I binge-read three books in two weeks instead of writing and now I must suffer the consequences (a script due in 3 weeks).
