With 23 years of continuous work as a letterer, and over 30 years of print/production experience, I’m now unable to find any new lettering work in comics.
Please keep me in mind when staffing your creator-owned projects and please consider requesting me on your WFH projects 🙏

Listen up: I am one of those rare sex assault victims who actually took the guy who did it to court. It was a local scandal that put my initials on the front page of the local paper (not my whole name because I was a minor).

You have no idea what happens to women on the stand or in the press.

Congrats!!!

A hardcover version of The Unfinished Business, showing a night-time cityscape with lots of glowing windows. A girl looks out of one at three ghosts floating overhead

Maude took a hovering seat on a velvet armchair squished into an off-kilter corner. Escape-minded stuffing was mak- ing a break for it through the cat-clawed gashes on its arms. “Well,” she began, “I’m in the business of unfinished business. I help ghosts deal with what’s keeping them here and then send them on their way. It’s simple. I’m a ghost because I have unfinished business. And The Unfinished Business is my unfinished business.” Maude removed her squashed spectacles, flipped them over, and put them back on. Her eyes took on their familiarly owlish countenance. “That’s where you come in. You’re the new me.”

Hello, I wrote a fun middle grade novel about ghosts, letting go, and chocolate gateau. It's called The Unfinished Business, and it's in shops now!

We got a DM the other day with a fun request from a local family:

Could we find this nice BART train operator who always waved and beeped at this special little rider?

And if we found him, could we deliver him a thank you card!? 

So we got to work …

Oh yes! Let's talk about this!

"A reasonable conclusion is that most screenplays submitted to the Black List website are competent but not exceptional, and those that are exceptional are quite rare (which roughly mirrors what most of us know instinctively if we’ve read a lot of screenplays)."

The best write-up I’ve read that voices what we’re all feeling. Reading Trump’s rambling this time is staggering. Worth a few minutes of your time and a repost.

Amazing!

Important thread

Austin area folks: Austin Animal Services is over capacity & needs help with foster & adopt. Additionally there is a Central Texas wide name your adoption fee event coming up, March 6-8. Please consider fostering if you can't adopt. Homes without children & pets are unicorn homes for some dogs.

Your personal essay for TV programs isn't filler—it's your third writing sample. Decision-makers (myself included) weigh essays heavily. A compelling, engaging story can be the difference between an interview and a pass. Give it real creative effort.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

You’re writing a script about a killer shark, reach Act 3 and need to figure out how to kill this unkillable monster. What if it chomps on an oxygen tank and blows itself up? That could work but must be set up earlier. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is on PLANTS AND PAYOFFS.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart.bsky.social and I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/save...
