I’m here. Now what? I can’t figure out BlueSky :)

Nice. Way safer. Another alt I was thinking about was GRACE ANATOMY because the person pitching is named Grace.

I want to write a medical drama set in Hollywood featuring writers as the victims of medical emergencies that happen when they’re forced to sell projects in a market where it’s easier to build a cold fusion reactor with chopsticks than to get an exec to say yes.

I’d call it THE PITTCH.

Sadly this algorithm doesn’t work all that well. I’ve tried again and again. But maybe it’s improved.

I’m mostly on Threads. But if half of us are on here and half of us are over there (with a few stragglers still on X) maybe we can all arrange some playdates sometimes?

Aloha, Jorge!

Hi, Diane!

I’m not on here very often. Where are all my screenwriters at?

I just finished the last of 7 pitches this week for two different TV projects. While preparing 4 other projects to launch soon. Also woke up at 4:30 am every day to surf. Because a man’s gotta have hobbies. Stick a fork in me.

Sure. Just email me. You still have my email right?

Yes of course. And no you didn’t message me. I just don’t know if I remember what I posted back then.

Might as well repost here as well…

Can’t go wrong with rocky road.

Ice cream eaten, taking rest of day off.

Where’s my Fortnite peeps at?

Rocky road!!!

Done. Exhausted. I’m gonna go eat some ice cream.

Thank you, bud!

Two different pitches today.

Both based on the life rights of amazing humans who did amazing things.

One features an undercover cop who took down his own mob family in Miami. 400 arrests in all.

The other about the creator of a wilderness medical program. Extreme medicine in extreme conditions.

Insomnia is not. Then seeing a text come in. Then checking that text because you think it’s an emergency. Then perseverating on what they said even though totally not pressing.

No caps for Fortnite texts

Right?

No I think people should send scripts to actors through the proper channels.

The only correct way is to throw the script over the celebrity’s wall with a $1000 gift card to Pink Berry.

For the latter, there’s a thin line between shooting your shot and pissing off the person you’re emailing.

Actually, scratch that, there’s no line at all.

Don’t send unsolicited scripts. Don’t ask people you don’t know to risk relationships (that they might not even have).

Tired.

Just got a 3am text from a producer with “middle of the night thoughts” on a pitch.

Love the excitement. But email is your friend. And timezones.

Also got sent an unsolicited script from somebody I barely know asking me to get project to “X big name actor.”

1/10. Don’t recommend.

I just watched a very mediocre K-Drama… or what some may call an “Ok-Drama”.

I had two pieces of paid development this year. I know. Crazy.

This was actually a paid development deal with somebody from the special forces community. I spent the last 6 mos researching that world before I started writing and in the process it completely transformed my opinion of Green Berets and Operation Enduring Freedom.

Can’t wait for people to read

Logline: After a deadly ambush in Afghanistan exposes a possible traitor inside the chain of command, a decorated Green Beret must testify before Congress — but as his story unfolds, so does a buried conspiracy that threatens to unravel everything he fought to protect.

Genre: Military thriller.

I just turned in a revised draft of maybe my favorite TV pilots of all time. I don’t normally share loglines but since it’s going out soon, here it is:

Title: THE BERET
