Yes!!!!! My copy of TWO FRONT TEETH by @jamie-nash.bsky.social came in. This is a oldie but goodie from one of my favorite authors/ screenwriters/ film makers! Oh, and Podcaster!!
This is one of his earlier films and an excellent addition to my Christmas horror film collection!!

As a genre fan, the cold-war era pilot Red State intrigues me, as well as Last Laugh, a reality show where users can control inmates’ bodies. Cat vs Doug sounds like it could be bonkers! You can also find mine and @jamie-nash.bsky.social pilot Oz Noir, a hardboiled retelling of The Wizard of Oz.

I asked. The publisher was confused. He thought it should be available. But admitted that India can be complicated.
Awesomeness! thanks for sharing the love. (if you get a chance, reviews are always HUGE -- but thanks for already being so generous)
Just finished listening to Save the Cat Writes Horror by Jamie Nash. Yeah, homie did his big one with this. This book is such a gem. I highly recommend both the audio and the print.
Weird! I wonder why they do that! I'll ask for you.
THANK YOU KRISTIN!!

Are you a horror writer? Did you miss our conversation on THE INSIDE PITCH? I'm your Huckleberry... www.youtube.com/live/mlRC8Et...
"Grinding Screenwriter" By the Numbers
I've written 109 scripts! Been paid on 48 of them...
SPEC OPTIONS (w Rewrites): 12
ASSIGNMENTS: 36
PITCHES SOLD: 2
MOVIES PRODUCED: 14 (a couple anthologies)
MOVIES DIRECTED 3
After 25 years, I've done enough that I've forgotten a few.
I think if you can get it under 100... there's some goodwill by the reader. But a hard limit of 120 for sure.
There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve.
If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel.
Just. Keep. Writing.
Dick Tracy vibes.
Just found out and bought Save the Cat Writes Horror by Jamie Nash in audio. The universe does want me to be a better writer.

LOVE THIS!
Third time (the deep dive, application and sense making phase) into “Save the Cat Writes Horror”.
I clearly need 3 more highlights for everything to click into place.
@jamie-nash.bsky.social and I are childhood friends now — in my head.
Publishing costs:
* You writing your manuscript - $6,000
* $8.50 production cost (paperback) per book
(includes shipping)
* $.68 per book marketing $3,400 per 5k books
* $3,000 pre-production (edits, cover, formatting)
It's all math.

I still haven't sunk my teeth into Save The Cat! Writes Horror, but the TV one is the best book about writing ongoing series that I've found!
