Gonna start sending this to anyone who passes on my scripts.

@BogeyGuyC It’s all we got!

I'll retain my delusional optimist mentality.

@MikeBoaks @tschrack Flavor town vibes, in a bad way …

@tschrack Took me back to a horrible time 😆

just saw Von Dutch hats for sale..!

I'm going to try and light a candle to curse the darkness of Twitter. X whatever it is. Here's a hopefully useful thread about the importance of emotion in your pitching and story meetings if you get in front of executives, and how to use a well-crafted deck to your advantage.

SAY WHAT?!?

@PhoenixBlackNow @WeAreTheIWC Congrats!

Proud to get two of my horror scripts on the Independent Writers Caucus Tales of Horror list! @WeAreTheIWC

@bjcolangelo ❤️⭐️❤️

SHE'S A STARRRRR! We're kicking off a month of horror on the pod by finally giving our girl Pearl the spotlight.

@JaceSerrano Available to call you a genius for 29.95. HMU

Something harrowing happened this week. A fellow writer read my script and provided feedback. The analysis was superb. But as I got to the end, I realized something disturbing. At no point in his comments did he call me a genius. I will never ask for notes from that hack again

@andreaberting Wowza! I am shocked that I’ve yet to get the “no unsolicited queries” email.

Just to keep me humble, I got a proper "Cease and Desist" email from a different production company today, so: everything balances out, I guess!

@tschrack Watching the third episode of TASK. I’m trying to make this shit last lol. Catching GOOD BOY for a Sunday matinee.

What are we watching this weekend? I just discovered Kanopy and signed up with my library card, so I'll be streaming THERE WILL BE BLOOD with my tax dollars at work!

One of the best things about going back for my MFA has been going FULL HAM on our library’s streaming platforms!

A Friday reminder... Scripts will be sold. Writers hired. Movies produced. TV shows made. And dreams realized. Why not you? Me? No one said it would be easy. And Mr. Goldman was right. Now, go write the movie or show Hollywood doesn't know it wants... until you show it to them.

@ThisisKaia @storyshowing It’s always high concept. Concept is king. There are a very limited number of screenplay competitions worth mentioning. No one cares if you won “Best Screenplay at the Camas, Washington Screenplay Competition”. They care if they can sell your script and you as a writer.

A huge mistake early writers make is that they limit their focus on the "best" way to launch their screenwriting career. However, every path in is so different, and each story of someone's success is a product of that time and their unique situation. All of it made tougher because so many around you want to scoff and say, "that's a waste of time." Yet, the best strategy is to attack every angle possible with all the limited resources you have. Be smart; don't go flailing about, but you don't want to look back and wonder, "If only I tried this..." If your screenplay is genuinely ready (and that is a very big if), get it out there. In any way you can. Every big step I took in my career seemed to come out of left field.

Lots of posts about screenwriting and rejection of late. This part of the game sucks! May I humbly suggest creating your version of my "Dayna Fucking Rocks!" folder? I save positive emails, notes, and wins in it to read on rainy days. You fucking rock, too! #screenwritingtwitter

@gabebraxton You gotta be!

I’ve been delusional my entire life and that’s why I accomplish shit

Major #scriptshoutout to @ZackMorrison18 for his funny AF/realistic AF pilot LIVE FROM STUDIO 7C!! This excellent story takes us BTS on a late night show leading us in real time to opening curtain. We root for Zelda as she navigates her dream of one day making the writers room.

It’s been a bit… Allow me. To reintroduce myself.

A novelization of SPIDER BABY by @DaynaDirector has been published via @EnPocalypsePub. The Merrye children all suffer from a rare genetic malady that causes its victims to mentally regress to a condition of pre-human savagery and cannibalism.

@stevemoth My all time fave comedy right there!

Heading to church right now... And, by "church," I mean opening Final Draft. Peace be with you. Amen.
