Seeking representation
Blcklst isn’t for all scripts; called my slasher “a story of women in competition inside male-defined systems” & criticized for diluting that theme—dude, there’s a Dionysian maniac, evil Zeus by way of Bowie & loony toons violence, ain’t nothing about systems. #scriptsky, any alternatives? #horror

Pretty sweet Sinister vibes from @scottderrickson.bsky.social ‘s gnarly segment in VHS 1985

Getting a jumpstart on spooky season with a rewatch of Evil Dead Rise, incredible how efficient the first act is even with the opening tag #scriptsky

Lucasfilm really leaning into the “there’s a map that leads to X character” macguffin lately. Really makes you wonder who in the star wars universe is such an excellent cartographer. I’d watch that show. #starwars #scriptsky

Forgot I paid for Nicholl feedback. Reader described the events in my horror script as “so consistently horrible” that the result is “sophomoric bathos”. Abject failure? Or great success?

Lady on the street sees my Michigan jersey and asks what game is today — “football,” I tell her.

Still I call myself a writer.
