Apparently Emma Thompson & I share a similar process for writing.
Except that I do character & plot outlines by hand (Black & Red notebook w/ blue med point Pilot 302), then expand on it on my zero draft.
I use a word processor specifically for screen/play (Drama Queen).

Happy Monday, #writers! Approach the page like my doggo does the snow. #skriptsky
The editing down to 40 pages continues today. Amazing how sometimes less is more. Great when you can cut a word or two of dialog and still keep the meaning. #skriptsky
It's Golden Globes night, and while it's been kinda of meh since the Pandemic--I still watch, just to be inspired and also because what else is there to do on a Sunday night?

I wanna shoutout the Blacklisted podcast (@blcklstd.bsky.social) for aspiring screenwriters.
They're doing a mini-series with literary managers right now and it's interesting to hear directly from the inside what they look for in a query letter/logline/script/writer.

Book cover
Doing more research on demons. This time I just finished The Devils & Evil Spirits of Babylonia, edited by R. Campbell Thompson.
It’s a bi-lingual edition of ancient Babylonian plates.
Great info about demons and Babylonian religion in general.
