Finished my new pilot. My reps have been asking me for a crime-show script. This is what I came up with instead. It’s “Only Murders” if the main characters were #Swifties.

...well, it's not a play. It's a screenplay. And it's almost ready for public consumption.

As a product of the #Louisiana school system, I am very grateful for @Microsoft #Word's grammar & spellcheck feature. You have no idea how many errors I had to correct! #Screenwriting #WGAStaffingBoost #filmscript #TVWriters #Hollywood #ComedyWriting #PilotScript #ComedyPilot

Why aren’t we organizing, mobilizing, and wielding this platform like a blunt instrument for change?
I remember what happened in 2019 with #WGAStaffingBoost —a grassroots campaign that used Twitter to elevate unrepresented writers.

Screenplays by Kevin Dooley When I'm not busy writing brand and marketing copy, I relax by developing and writing screenplays - both feature length and dramatic hour-long TV pilots.

#PreWGA TV writer who's travelled the world with NGOs & tech companies. I write junky genre with a purpose. Copywriting taught me how to pitch ideas, collaborate, iterate, ideate, write in another's voice & take notes well. Samples: https://t.co/fxMqpoE2rS #WGAStaffingBoost https://t.co/

@WGAStaffBoost Black female animation prod manager w/ orig animated pilots for adults - absurd comedies with dramatic elements. Centering marginalized voices w/ women, POC, LGBTQ+, disabled characters. From Chicago's South Side, Yale alum. #wgastaffingboost #PreWGA

One more! "Loved every page." #wgastaffingboost

Pleasantly surprised by this "stellar" @theblcklst eval for my Justice John Paul Stevens script, one part newsroom thriller one part courtroom drama. #WGAStaffingBoost #wgasolidaritychallenge

Who wants to read a comedy about the 1% vs the rest of us as embodied by two brothers? The Black List likes it just fine! #wgasolidaritychallenge #WGAstaffingboost

My quirky crime pilot "4 Corners" earned multiple 8s
@theblcklst
, humbling comparisons to the Coen brothers and "True Detective," and 2 UL #wgasolidaritychallenge boosts. Based on my original novella. (Thank you LaToya!) #WGAstaffingboost

6 And too many others to list – big, bold ideas and personal stories. I write film and TV, comics, novels and plays, and am never at a loss for ideas… but I am humbled by these. Proud of my Guild and fellow writers. #wgasolidaritychallenge #wgastaffingboost #wgadevelopmentboost

1 I am blown away by the breadth of ideas and wealth of talent being recognized in this Twitter initiative (Twit-nitiative?). I can’t hire, but let me amplify some of the peeps who are writing the shit out of things: #wgasolidaritychallenge #wgastaffingboost #wgadevelopmentboost

Who likes playwrights AND driving to Long Beach? (*crickets*) "Glove Story," a one-two punch of comedy and heart. 4 performances left!

Writing and DNA samples on request. #WGAsolidaritychallenge #wgastaffingboost

Sharing this lovely endorsement from my producers for anyone staffing playwrights: "Glove Story" opens this weekend! I write mouthy characters lugging big emotional burdens and I do it with pitch-black humor. #WGASolidarityChallenge #WGAStaffingBoost

The bummer of a downside of the #WGAStaffingBoost is the reminder of how many amazing scripts never become TV shows or movies.

Staffing SRs if you like playwrights, stage lights, civil rights, old man fights, and other things that end with "ights," don't miss my new play "GLOVE STORY" opening Friday for 3 weeks at the Garage Theatre in Long Beach. #WGAStaffingBoost

2/2: ...and fellow Thurber "losers" David Letterman, Alan Zweibel, Dave Barry, Roz Chast, Patricia Marx. LA Times best-seller “AMP’D” optioned for TV, an event that expired with little fanfare. Pilot adaptation script avail for read! #WGAStaffingBoost #WGASolidarityChallenge

1/2: Thurber Prize for American Humor runner-up (to @TrevorNoah)-in the extraordinary good company of @hodgman @BobNewhart @MerrillMarkoe @BillScheft @BorowitzReport @DavidSedaris @AlFranken @rayadverb @birbigs @thier_aaron... #WGAStaffingBoost #WGASolidarityChallenge
