We pass the "'this is shit' phase" as often as a Monopoly token passes Go.

Interview went pretty well, I think! No huge gaffes π . Should know more before May.
I have an interview tomorrow for a big writing program. Starting to get butterflies over it.
Whaaaat? She looks like a deluxe stuffed animal, she's so cute!
Ah ha! That's what my script was missing!
What the heck, haven't shown a page from my WIP lately. And this one's cute. #scriptsky #17thPageSaturday
Starting on page 15 and ending on page 72... 14 instances of weird/weirdly. π€¦ββοΈ
My latest reader called me out on using "weird/weirdly" too much in my script. I believed her, but also thought "well, no one else called this out, it can't be THAT bad". Well, it is that bad. The worst case of me overusing a word in pretty much anything. Ugh! π #scriptsky
Forcing myself to do rewrites right now.
After a bit of a holding pattern, I have some new notes to dive into for my latest WIP. The first half-page is labelled "The Good" and the next page and a half is labelled "Things to Consider", so I may have some work ahead of me! π #scriptsky
A great lesson in persistence, for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Hadn't heard of this site before. Is this looking like a viable successor to Coverfly?
I'll probably do FDBB as well, though the early bird deadline is in a month, so I think I'll space that one out onto my next credit card bill. :P
Also did Script Pipeline a few weeks ago. This is actually the hardest I've gone on entering a single script into things in a looong time.
No time like the first!
Break a leg!
Submitted to AFF for the early bird deadline, but ended up splurging on three of the sub-awards that cost extra... which really adds up. Putting a lot of faith in this super niche thriller/horror/rom-com. #scriptsky
Iβd be surprised if it wasnβt!
Ok, I got out to see Project Hail Mary. Youβre all correct, itβs pretty amazing.
Almost ready to submit to @tiffnet.bsky.social's Writers' Lab. Just gotta make a... *shudder* video pitch tonight.
So, this Project Hail Mary is pretty good, I'm hearing? Will try to drag myself out to a theater this week. #filmsky
Is there any feeling greater than finishing your taxes?
Right??
Oh, that's a fun way to think about things.
Yeah, I just got on Jeff's list and was hoping to attend the Zoom yesterday, but something came up at the last minute.
I mean, always happy to hear more tips on how people do TV ideas in general, but specifically curious about procedurals at the moment. It's something I've never really done and would like to get one in my portfolio. More episodic series ideas come to me easier. #scriptchat #scriptsky
Congrats!
Asked this earlier in the week, but thought it might be a good mini-topic for #scriptchat, if anyone has thoughts. #scriptsky
My current WIP is truly up there, I think. Took me way out of my comfort zone in terms of genre and subject matter. And I think it's makeable.
Otherwise, always Unicorn Included: t.co/K9AXsvv7sV #scriptchat #scriptsky
Weirdly, i don't usually have a problem with that, but I definitely am seeing it tonight. Not even seeing my own post in the list. :P #scriptchat #scriptsky
Been dealing with a bit of a rough week. The skylight in my condo is leaking. Hasn't been too bad til now, but it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so bracing myself. It's being inspected Monday, so just gotta hold through the weekend.
Oh, second month in a row I just stumbled onto this randomly checking Bluesky.
Wins? well, I'm between drafts on my horror/thriller (awaiting notes and/or a pat on the back). Also applied to a writing program this week. #scriptsky #scriptchat
