I've been approached by a lot of screenwriting newbies lately (not really sure how they've been finding me) and it feels good to help them as much as I can but it's also kind of exhausting?? Makes me really appreciate all the more established folks who gave me advice early on.

Was watching THE X-FILES last night when I heard Mulder refer to a major East Coast interstate highway as: "The I-95" Something like "I'm getting on the I-95" What a giveaway that your writers are from California 😂 (A real East Coaster wouldn't use "the")

It's a very strange feeling to watch a script you wrote not place in contests you submitted to awhile ago while currently getting some actual industry attention lol

Time off between shows at work means writing whenever the heck I want and honestly it’s giving “quit-your-day-job”. I (probably) won’t any time soon but it sure is nice to dream!

Long shot since this account is mostly for screenwriting connections, but if anyone has any leads on a front-end web developer job, my husband is looking! Based in Chicago; ideally looking for remote work but hybrid could work for the right position. Thanks!!

Did we find it? Is this the platonic ideal of a well-structured screenplay?? Who can say! Decide for yourself and listen to episode 38 of my podcast "The Writer's Cut" to hear us discuss THE DEFIANT ONES, winner of Best Written Drama at the 11th WGA awards held in 1959!

When did you decide you wanted to pursue writing as a career path? I loved writing when I was very small and wrote stories up through high school, but fell off of the creative writing train in college. Didn't pick it back up until 2020. Decided to pursue "for real" around 2021.

Sometimes I make me laugh 😂 From my latest WIP, AFFORDABLE CARE: When a 26-year-old single woman finds a brain tumor right after being booted from her parents’ health insurance, she must find someone to marry - and fast - in order to get on their plan and afford surgery.

My husband is at a networking meetup thing and it feels similar to when my dog is at daycare, like “I hope he’s having fun without me”

Just a casual Monday night contemplating the inherent disconnect between the two art forms I flit between right now The permanence/legacy of film And The ephemerality of theater And how those inherent aspects inform the type of stories I want to tell in each format
