@thatScriptChick And it's unfortunate how often writers refuse to utilize it. Everyone assumes writers are desperate. When one turns around and says they're walking away instead of agreeing to bad terms, it's shocking. If it became less shocking and more normative, writers would get more respect.

The single most powerful word in the biz is NO.

It boggles my mind how often I see writers undervalue their work. This biz is full of egos, and it's designed to make you question the significance of what writers bring to the table. You'll get it from every angle. Don't listen to them. Know your worth and own it. #screenwriting

Don’t go signing any old contract just because you’re desperate to sell one of your scripts. I just avoided getting fleeced by some dodgy producers. Be cautious. It’s better to lose money on an entertainment lawyer than on a bad deal.

@BittrScrptReadr Same, but I've been on more of a weekly Twitter check-in schedule lately so I experience a whole lot of, "What's even happening right now?"

Re-reading an old script of mine to do an update/refresh and it's actually better than I remember. Is this what it's like to be proud of your writing? This is a way better feeling than the hypercritical self-loathing I usually bring to re-reads of my past work. 😂

You don't have to be paid or published to call yourself a writer anywhere other than the occupation line on your taxes. Everywhere else else, if you write you are a writer. Full stop.

PSA: Remember to put your name on the title page of your script. I know that seems obvious, but as someone who deals with arbitrations regularly, it's crazy how often I see revisions where the current writer forgot to list themselves, or attached a blank title page template.

I often convince myself that I'm too busy, too tired, too [insert excuse here] to write on any given day. I still find myself doing that if I'm not diligent. In truth, it's usually fear and/or laziness that keeps me from writing, and you don't level up if you don't write.

netflix 2 days after a new show comes out: "the show has already been watched for one trillion minutes, making it the most successful entertainment property in human history, which is why we're sharing the news with a heavy heart that it has not been renewed for a second season"

@fadeinsoftware I guess this means you haven't stopped spying on me like I asked you to...

@jeannevb I've been writing short stories since the fourth grade.

So, how many of you have written short stories? #PipelineAuthors

After watching @ShowrunnersFilm with my wife, we turn to each other and say at the exact same time: Her: "I'm so glad you're not a showrunner." Me: "Showrunning is my dream job."

If your favorite movie is playing in the theater for one night again and I'm meeting you there, what are we seeing? And then what type of food are we grabbing after?

@thegarygraham Congrats, Gary!

I haven't written a script in a *very* long time and I'm trying to decide whether to get back into it by revisiting one of my existing unwritten concepts or start fresh with a completely clean slate. What would you do?
