Every #writer you ever heard of wrote one word at a time. Don’t get ahead of yourself. Keep it simple.

Here we go! Showing my face to tell you all about the @scribelounge.bsky.social screenwriting challenge 🙌🏻📝 Free to join the challenge and free to join Scribe Lounge! Scribelounge.com

Really looking forward to reading your book!

Getting words on the page is easy. You sit down, you type. Bam! Words.

It's finding the RIGHT words that can be hard. That's the trick of it. The secret is that sometimes the right words don't appear until after you write the wrong ones. So write the wrong ones. You'll find the right ones in there.

Stop waiting until you feel "ready" to take the big swing. That day never comes. The writers who build extraordinary careers aren't waiting for permission or perfect conditions—they're writing the weird pilot, pitching the ambitious take, making the bold choice right now.

“What you need for a great hero is imperfection…. How can any of us who are flawed humans connect to a flawless hero?” Shawn Levy on ‘Write On’ podcast #screenwriting

What’s the best way to message you about reading? (The message button isn’t there when I go to your profile)

Stop celebrating only the big wins. Wrote today when you didn't feel like it? That's a win. Chose writing over scrolling? Win. Showed up to the page at all? Massive win. In a career built on persistence, every small victory matters. What win are you celebrating today?

Trust me on this: the writers who build extraordinary careers aren't the ones who never fail—they're the ones who fail spectacularly, learn ferociously, and keep taking big swings. "Solid" doesn't sell. "Safe" doesn't staff.

happy independent bookstore day 📚

Your journey is yours alone. That writer who seems to be "winning" at every turn? They're fighting battles you can't see. Focus on your page, your voice, your growth. The only race that matters is the one with yesterday's version of yourself.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

There is no “right” way to write. Every writer is different. Every story is different. Find the writing process that works for YOU. #writing #scriptsky

Thank you!!

Thanks for the reminder to keep it simple.

There is one incontrovertible rule about a first draft and it is this: Get the damn thing done! #screenwriting #scriptsky

PS Please don’t apologise for the thread! It’s soooo useful and interesting hearing your process!

Thanks for answering! Really helpful to hear about your process!

Great choice of screenwriters. I keep meaning to read the screenplay for Past Lives.

Thanks again.

1) How do you like to outline/ plan your screenplays?

2) Are there any screenwriters or filmmakers whose work you particularly admire?

Love this book so much.

Hi Emily, This is great! Am I too late to be added? (Joined Bluesky recently)

“Interstellar” is such a masterclass in storytelling and filmmaking. Looking forward to reading the screenplay. Thanks for sharing.
