During lockdown I asked a bunch of fancy writers to talk about work for a youtube series. Actually, what I said to @therealKripke was, "let's drink over zoom," so... that. All the writers were so great and generous. You should click through and watch 'em.

Tons of people still read these writing threads, here and on my ig... I'm thinking of putting more screenwriting ho-tos together. I'd like to put 'em somewhere that makes sense. Is @substack where folks go for writing now? Someone more online than me, give me your thoughts.

TEN THINGS ABOUT HOW TO FORMAT A SCRIPT. Based on questions I get after screenwriter twitter has a debate about em-dashes or whatever. (Which is charming. That’s not a criticism.) Here is what works for me and works for scripts I read when I am hiring.

nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember - when you called something a bottle episode that wasn’t one

One fun thing was -- they gave Death's ride a great vanity plate. If I recall (it's been EIGHTY-FOUR YEARS! Forgive me!) it said BUH-BYE. We all cracked up in post but were like... we ought to keep this scary and not let the audience off the hook so fast. So we cut the shot.

@staceycrussell Someone will fill in her name for us -- it's been a couple years! -- but this version was actually someone over at the CW. I was told she sang it into her iphone as a temp, but her voice was so good everyone perished on the spot and declared it The Version.

my scientist friend just called the double brood cicada emergence "biological nuerology, like the eclipse but with freaky screaming bugs" and now it seems obvious why I'm OBSESSED with it

@serathegamble that moment when you’re trying to warm your bones in the shower from the NYC cold and a word forms in your pre-coffee brain. It’s strange and familiar. You bellow it out to the surprise of yourself and the chihuahua outside the door: MARGOLEM. #TheMagicians

texted @johnthemcnamara "Hey, someone's talking shit about you in Variety" because it felt like the least embarrassing way to let him know I shouted him out. A few real mensches have helped me a ton over the years, and they all get endearingly "please shut up" when I mention it.
