@danielwrites7 @drcorteswrites Speaking as resident non-expert; can concur

I had a brain wave so here's a bit of a different comic this week. Thoughts as the resident experts on horror and comedy? @Shak_12ish @drcorteswrites #WritingCommunity #horror #comedy

@_RickyTyree Barry The First Team Atlanta

Screenwriters: What are the top 3 shows you would love to join the writer's rooms as a staff writer?

@TheSoulMinded I went from “This is the smartest man on YouTube” to “How does Twitter know I’m a Sonic fan?”

@RitzGainGreen There’s certain things a man has to be able to put up with

Broke up with my barber after 11yrs because he lacks professionalism. Found another good one, that ended after a year and a half for the same reason. Found another good one and it’s over within a month. Ladies, I’m with y’all, I hate men too 😂😂😂😭😭

@franklinleonard When they recognise what I’m attempting to communicate and can articulate why they believe their note helps to achieve that. Even if I disagree completely, these are always useful notes

Screenwriting Twitter, when receiving feedback on your work, how do you know that it's valuable?

@zaelyna @screencrafting I went for the kids from The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, but you’ve won with this one

@Danii_Girl Cancelled: The Boondocks, Community, Phoneshop. On Air: The First Team, Peaky Blinders, Barry.

What’s one tv show (cancelled or on air) that you dream of being a staff writer on? #pipelinewriters

@NellSco @FaithPennick @IAmJenMcG She was a lot of fun in Orange is the New Black aswell. Very compelling character and performance

@fringeblog Easiest? That’s the only way.

The easiest way to write a script is to envision it on the screen in your mind, rewrite it a few dozen times, then spend as long as you need to write it out on the page, then rewrite that a few times, then get feedback and do some more rewrites, all the while doubting yourself.

@danielwrites7 Nah, they rejected the best of Shak in April 2020. Doesn’t even come close to the best of Shak in July 2020

@Shak_12ish You're not a real writer if that image doesn't hurt. Sucks about the rejection, but, with your talent, you'll get there eventually.

After receiving my BBC Comedy room email rejection email and looking at what the script has become since I submitted it, this tweet hit different

For #7, here's one I'm sure all creators can relate to. #webcomic #art #Creative

THREAD ALERT Fellow screenwriters! A thread on writing action lines, with special attention paid to word order and what I call "anchoring" nouns.
