I’m currently enjoying my time at Comic-Con in San Diego, so this week’s post is a short one. The outline for the action-comedy spec is more or less wrapped up – some of the small…

Great talk w/writer/poet @sherrevernon.bsky.social n (TRANSLATING BLUE) on @podcastcwl.bsky.social about loving the sound of words, striking a balance when you write, how complexity is important, and the value of finding the right word spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/EeZQllTwX4b youtu.be/QdgVI5jF5Zw

Despite some subplots that still need a little work, feeling pretty good about the overall outline for the action-comedy spec Time to crank out a first draft Head down, full speed ahead See you on the other side #screenwriting #notgivingup #scriptsky+

Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?

Without saying your age, what’s your favourite movie that came out when you were 18?

China just got a heliostat plant – a concentrated solar power (CSP) station using a large field of computer-controlled mirrors, [heliostats], to reflect the sun on to a tall central tower – to power 170k homes a year and save 130k tons of CO2. The US is getting a ballroom.

If they can build a data center overnight, then they can install a solar farm overnight.

Do you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently

Given that Republicans are in charge of the presidency, the House, and the Senate, you can’t with a straight face claim they’ve been discriminated against with voter fraud. They’ve won it all and they’re claiming there is rampant fraud. It’s bullshit.

Congrats to all my amazing #screenwriter chums whose scripts made QFs in PAGE

A great talk w/writer/poet @eichelbard.bsky.social on @podcastcwl.bsky.social about “translating the untranslatable”, adding human detail, why writers should write everything, the Stargate universe, and “don’t show, let them see” spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/jw01GIjCM4b youtu.be/X-gVmlxRWE4

Don’t know why it works, but it does

The last few days have seen some decent progress regarding my action-comedy spec and the rewrite of my fantasy-comedy. Both are still in the outlining stage, but it’s HOW I’m doing the …

Got the DCP (Digital Cinematic Package) for my short film SHECKY Let the submitting to film festivals begin

Applied the "Write it out scene-by-scene" approach to the action-comedy outline A few subplots still need a lotta work (keep? cut?), and even though the protag's arc needs some add'l finessing, I like how it's all coming along #screenwriting #goodwritingday #notgivingup #scriptsky+

Got an invite to do my #screenwriting presentation for a local branch of the CA Writers Club later this year I really enjoy doing this, so any opportunity for that is always welcome

This looks heartbreakingly wonderful Can't wait to see it

Wrapped up the fantasy-comedy outline revision More notes to self, questions that need answers, etc. Definitely feels stronger now on several levels Gonna let it simmer for a bit to work on the other two #scripts, and then take on pages #screenwriting #goodwritingday #notgivingup #scriptsky+

Allow me to offer up a literary amuse bouche before moving on to this week’s hearty entree. Some good progress on the rewrite of the fantasy-comedy – about halfway through the outline. …
