This is really cool… #understatement 😆

@EXT_BEACH_DAY Hi Brandon! I saw a notification from you and couldn’t find it—thought it was in my DMs 🤣🤣 Ok, I will message you 🫡

@phancyphilana Hi from Vietnam, Philana. I'm interested in joining your 530pm writers group if you're still looking for ppl. I'm currently querying my third spec feature and working on a fourth (thriller). LMK, thanks!

Jessie Buckley just won best Actress for Hamnet and she truly deserved it. 🤩 EVERYONE nominated was amazing but my goodness GRACIOUS I forgot to breathe during a few of her scenes. 😳 Yes, she REALLY was THAT good. 😅 #oscars

Shrinking is just 🙌🏽 Every week it usually has me laughing, rewinding, and doing a full palm to forehead 🤦🏽‍♀️ during their shenanigans. Love. This. Show! But that finale last night? I was NOT prepared for my full on ugly cry. Harrison Ford delivered one of the most astonishing lines I’ve heard on tv in a long time… “What a shame to be 42 years old and not completely covered in scars. They’re the evidence of a life fully lived.” Just… 😩 And wow. 🥹 Shout out to the season finale writers for masterful emotional complexities: Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, Neil Goldman. Chefs 👏🏽 kiss! Season 4 can’t come soon enough. #Shrinking #AppleTVPlus #Screenwriting #TVWriters #HarrisonFord

@programjusrcras @CindyBegel Try it now 😃😃

@CindyBegel @phancyphilana Thank you!

I have a few spots for a writing group that meets Friday 5:30 PST, first and third Friday of each month. Reliable, mid-level writers (some experience) and above. Great committed leader! Interested? Contact @phancyphilana.

@ceraliza This gives me so much hope for the future. God bless that young man and the people who are raising him. Appreciate you sharing this, wow... :)

@BostonByBirth He contributed a reminder to me to press on and be my best no matter how much it sometimes feels it doesn’t matter. RIP JC, yes you mattered so much, sweet boy. 🙏🏽

My son died. I know he didn't contribute anything to mankind — he was only two months old — but I like to believe he was destined to do something good for humanity. It's been a while since his death, and I hate to dwell on it so publicly, but I wanted you to know him.

@InternetReels This is infuriating and heartless. My GOD where was the compassion???? 😩😭😭😭

Daughter refused to pull over while rushing her mom, who was having a stroke, to the hospital. I support our men and women in blue, but with a stroke every second matters. Did the officer handle this the right way?

Michael B Jordan just won the BEST ACTOR OSCAR and I’m crying. MBJ has been shining since Fruitvale and Wallace on The Wire. Don’t call it a glow up. This is the industry CATCHING UP. He’s been that man for years 💯🙌🏽🤩 #oscars

“All the women in the room, stand up.” — Autumn Durald Arkapaw, winning the Oscar for Cinematography for Sinners The first woman nominated in years and she used her moment to lift every other woman in the room. 🙌🏽 Thats powerful. #Oscars

Casting across the board was bananas this year and this one definitely had one star after another, LOVE that the casting visionaries are honored (and also LIVE) this year! So much talent in EVERY film. but… Congratulations on the Oscar for Achievement in Casting 👏🏽 Cassandra Kulukundis, One Battle After Another 🤩 #oscar

Misty Copeland is an American Treasure and deserves an honorary Oscar for her performance on pointe tonight, 3 months post hip replacement. 👏🏽 Wow 🤩 #oscars

My fortune cookie today: "The greatest risk in life is not taking one." Sometimes we pass up opportunity & think it will come again. Then it doesn't. I encourage you to take the step you want but scares you. Maybe it won't work out. It might. Have no regrets when it's your dream.

Hi everyone! GREAT news. 🥳 Just had a lovely exhale moment. With ALL members of our group having now chimed in and all survey thoughts and availability accounted for, we officially have a consensus and a kick off date! Taking the time to do this/plan at least loosely, increases our odds for sustainability which is what I know we all want. So, thank you for your patience and support. The team work has felt real and is everything 👏🏽🫶🏽💯 Also, because I finally have everyone’s email address 😅 we can move off of this thread. Please check your email this evening as I will be in touch there, next, on this note. Have the best day! 🎬😃

@phancyphilana @CindyBegel @MisryanaW16980 @thelightofehl @coachlary69 @therealjomo33 @JayFingers @MarioTorch @paulasoup @adrig7 Adding @alexbeech! Alex, here is an invite link for the Discord: discord.gg/za6xWQTn

Announcing a new WRITERS' GROUP! @JamesDelorean @MisryanaW16980 @thelightofehl @coachlary69 @therealjomo33 @JayFingers @MarioTorch @paulasoup Follow, DM each other, Set up Discord. Zoom. Who wants to LEAD? ONE spot left for a female writer. Interested?

Early projections are in! Thank you ALL for being so thoughtful and supportive with your responses. Being that we are all writers, it’s been especially fun to see some of the creative minds at work just on feedback for this. Love it! And can’t wait to see everyone’s actual creative writing. 🔔 Right now, just letting everyone know that Fridays is leading as a clear winner for our meeting day (with 90 minutes feeling sustainable for most). 🔔 It’s a 50/50 split on how often (weekly with last week of month off versus bi-monthly), so I will defer to advice from other leaders who have had sustainable success on that part of our plan. Keep in mind l, this is ALL just to get us going. We can always adjust our sails as we cruise along! 🔔 Discord (and Zoom for meetings) is looking like a crowd-pleasing touchdown for our communications platform! 🔔 I will prepare confirmation on everything and some preliminary mission and goals information of course (a consensus is nearly unanimous, so far) once these final responses land in the next day or so. ^^^ Did alla that ^^^ feel like a Super Bowl overtime moment or what? 😆 Ok, I thought it was fun… 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ 😂 Anyhow… Please allow me one more day or so to finalize our launch plan! We have one person’s survey still forthcoming and another’s who was sent to me, but was somehow accidentally deleted or is somewhere hiding from me in a mislabeled file. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Waiting on the courtesy resend (SO sorry Mario 🫶🏽)…😬 One more day or so and we will have a tentative game plan for our group launch. For now, let this map inspire you... 🇺🇸 😎 Look how amazingly geographically diverse we are, guys. Cindy really thought SO much of this out, wow. *It has been interesting with 4 different time zones 😆 but (pending the final two submissions) INCREDIBLY I do think there’s a clear perfect time block. Cheers. More soon!

Hi everyone and happy Saturday! Just a quick update…. I have ALMOST everyone's survey back, with two on the way this evening (delays for truly honorable reasons). My plan is to take all of your thoughts (and trusted advice from other leaders) and gather a consensus to create a flexible game plan. I know that we will find our own way as a group and adjust accordingly as needed, so my goal is to just get us off to a solid start. THANK YOU for all of your truly helpful responses. I plan to have the game plan out to us this Monday evening--which will also include a proposed date for our first meeting. It's gonna be a kickoff even more exciting than the SuperBowl (ha ha). Hope that made you chuckle. More soon!

Shoutout to the first two surveys in. Yall understood the assignment! You brought so much heart with your responses. Thank you 🙏🏽💯💕 🔔 Friendly reminder 🔔: The deadline for survey submissions is tomorrow (Thursday) (PST) midnight. Reminder, also… I’m just the clipboard holder for formalities sake atp, just making sure we’re building a sure foundation for Cindy’s vision for us. We’re gonna be a great GROUP. Can’t wait…

@ofctimallen Just started my journey to do the same cover to cover for first time in my life. What a refreshing and inspiring post from you. 🫶🏽🙏🏽

Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again.

Can you IMAGINE being both Eddie Murphy AND Martin Lawrence’s grandchild? Bedtime stories with perfect comedic timing from both Grandpas. 😂 Baby’s first words are gonna be a punchline. 🤣🫶🏽 #Congratulations
