Screenwriter of rambunctious eloquence. Sometimes comedy, sometimes comedic, sometimes just dramatic. Hard to believe I was a Nicholl Finalist!
Love movies, beer, music, tacos, and floating in a Texas river. BlueSky since 2023.
Occasionally sarcastic.

Offered for consideration for #TheGreyList:
QUEEN OF THE SKY
When Nazis invade, young Ukrainian flier Lilya Litvyak battles not only the Luftwaffe but also the sexism and bureaucracy of the Soviet system to become history's highest scoring female ace. Then is forgotten. Until now.

Ugh. Tuesday was a long dull dreary trudge. Not awful in any notable sense, but just… exhausting.

I keep reading the terrors in the news, but I also keep reading stories about ordinary people doing good and amazing things.
Remember that it is possible to be a lighthouse for somebody else. A shield and a sword.
There is not more good than bad. The bad is just loud.
