Group photo of the cast and crew of 'Happy Birthday Harold' gathered around the director holding the slate in a backyard. On the wall of the house behind them hangs a large sign on brown fabric with white letters that read "happy birthday Harold!"

First #ShortFilm accomplished. The #HappyBirthdayHarold shoot is over & went swimmingly, despite the usual #production hiccups. I had the best crew & such a talented cast & I am so grateful & so very, very tired. More to come!

Unattended children will be sold to the circus meme.

#DVParty Day 4 post a meme! This is the best I could find that already exists on the internet for Circus Phoenix, a 90k adult fantasy/steampunk novel about identity, exile, and survival under the big top. #booksky #writersky #latinawriter

Working on my first feature script right now (I usually write hr-long TV specs), and it's a #horror. 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼🔪🔪🔪

a cartoon character says " yes you ll get them next time " Alt: GIF of Hondo in a scene from 'Star Wars: Rebels.' He's talking and his dialogue pops up on the bottom of the GIF: "yes, you'll get them next time."

A bit disheartening to be in my mid40s & need to jump thru hoops for entry level work. Especially when anyone who's read me says some version of "why haven't you staffed yet?" 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sharing, because I think it's as important to share the losses as the wins. Onward! ❤️

a cartoon character says that was supposed to be my dream netflix Alt: GIF from 'The Cuphead Show,' with a cup character at a piano who's turned around and is crying as it speaks. Its dialogue is at the bottom of the GIF: "that was supposed to be my dream."

I have other prospects that I'm waiting on, so I'm not entirely hopeless on the job front. And I know things are rough out there for everyone.

But this one stings more than most, because everything about it made it feel like something that was supposed to be mine.

a woman says " someone with connections " in a netflix advertisement Alt: GIF of a Black woman on a Netflix show with long, wavy hair wearing a blue, long-sleeved sweater. She's talking, and the GIF has her words at the bottom: "Someone with connections."

3) I didn't apply for this! I got an email out of the blue ASKING me to interview after someone passed my resume along! That thing where someone says "oh, they prolly knew someone?" THIS was that & I STILL didn't get it. Having a network doesn't guarantee anything.

futurama bender is standing in front of a sign that says writers room Alt: GIF of Bender on futurama bender sitting at a desk furiously typing on a typewriter beside a door that's ajar with a sign on it that says "Writers Room."

2) as much TV prod experience as I have, it's all in half-hr comedy & nowhere near a writers' room. This would've FINALLY put me in proximity to the part of the industry I actually wanna BE in w/an awesome showrunner on a show that I'd actually enjoy & watch!

it 's ok ... i 'm fine ( i 'm not fine ) Alt: GIF of Sadness from 'Inside Out' crying. The text on the GIF reads, "it's ok... i'm fine (i'm not fine)

Also happened to get an email today offering a 2nd interview for a coordinator position I applied for, which is cool, but I'm severely bummed about this one because:

1) this gig would've started next wk & been guaranteed thru the end of the yr & employment is nice

🧵-- Found out today (so NOT "just before/immediately after Jul 4th wknd") that I DIDN'T get this job. It was a Writer PA gig on an hr-long drama. Despite their being "impressed w/my qualifications" I wasn't the person they wanted ordering lunches/stocking supplies.

Thanks! I'd hope so. As an emerging #screenwriter in the current industry climate, having IP you're passionate about is damn near a necessity. (incidentally, I think it'd work better as a TV series)

I was OBSESSED w/'Feed' & the Newsflesh Trilogy back in the day. STILL determined to do a proper film/TV adaptation. ONE DAY, @seananmcguire.bsky.social! Dunno what their rights status is, but I'm coming for them.

Keep your fingers, toes & any other appendages you have available crossed for me this week. Just interviewed for an industry job I really, really want like a goddamn Spice Girl.

Should find out just before, or immediately after the July 4th weekend.

The first page of an hour-long spec TV script. It describes a Puerto Rican man named Ramon waking up on a fold-out couch next to another man in a studio apartment in 1970s New York. He gets up and starts his morning routine when he's interrupted by a phone call from someone named Marisol. Ramon is lying to Marisol about where he is. She thinks she's calling him at his office.

This was a hard-won first page. From my latest original hour-long #pilot, PALIMPSEST.

Tonight’s our Zoom. Once a month, the writers I met at NYWTP—some querying, some revising—show up with scenes, doubts, and heart. We read. We share our passes. We remind each other we’re not alone.

It’s not just writing.
It’s doing it together.

Latina voices matter in psychology! As a Cuban-American millennial, I’m sharing my journey and resources for #MentalHealth in our community. Let’s support each other. Check out my work on Substack.

I don’t wait for inspiration. I walk, run, drive, or shower until it smacks me in the face. Here are the 5 things that always get my story brain moving.

I’m looking for indie #bookstores to GIVE FREE copies of my novel to!

Please lmk if you know a bookstore interested in:
* family trauma
* healing from generational curses
* identity of growing up POC in an otherwise white family
* caregiving

My #WIP has just gotten angrier over the last few weeks. I think it needed the injection of raw emotion.

I wish it hadn’t happened the way it did, but here we are, in this *gestures vaguely at everything.*

May we use this torrent of emotions to create revolutionary work. #fantasylit #Latinawriter

I was so in the zone writing my spicy romance novel, Yoanna, that I forgot about dinner. My son called out, "Mami, I'm hungry!" when I realized the time. Thank goodness for leftovers! #writerlife #amwritingromance #latinxsky #latinawriter #Latinxwriter #writingcommunity #workingmomlife #author

This has been a great weekend! Collabs w/ Latina/Latinx writers, finishing the last chapter of Yoanna, my second spicy romance novel from the Heights of Love series, and lots of cuddles with my 8 year old son. So many things brewing! Grateful! #latinxsky #latinawriter #amwritingromance #author

I knew I wanted to be a writer since age 12. I didn’t think about the money or how it would pan out. All I knew is that I felt pure joy creating stories and characters from my imagination. Writing still gives me that much joy. It gives me life. It’s who I am. #amwritingromance #author #LatinaWriter
