A New Orleans storyteller. Make of that what you will.
Pinned
They say write your spec. I have. I am. I will.
I got a phone call. Could I drive from New Orleans to Orlando and pick up their daughter who was hiding from an abusive ex.
That drive changed me.
Thx Final Draft Big Break for shining a QF light on this gritty thriller.

Hmmm.
I told agent dude we need to get SHINERS to her prodco when we race out of pit row and take a lap around Hollywood.

Sees Variety article about Disney pressuring Hollywood for splashy global adventures, treasure hunts to appeal to Gen Z.
Sends article to agent dude. All he can do is say no.
Interested in getting THE FIFLEOT to these folks?
Tells me to send deck.
Will he?
Either way, I tried.

I know. I mean, I know.
That some of my fellow residents of the writers' wilderness have exactly what Disney wants.
But how do you get the script to them?
Hell, if I know.
But I know you have the cheese for the mouse.

Relentless ✅
That voice telling you your writing program rejection means you're not good enough? Put it aside. Programs have limited spots and specific needs each year. Your script might be perfect for next year's readers. The writers who succeed aren't just talented—they're relentless.

Hmm.
Becky is more excited than a Revenuer chasing a Blockade Runner on a moonlit night.
North Wilkesboro ain't far from Great Grandad's factory.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent"
Talent isn't rare. Throw an apple & you hit someone with talent. Perseverance? rare. Work ethic? exceedingly rare; the willingness to grind. Being able to endure the scorn, rejection & privation a life in the arts dooms you to in the United States is unicorn-scarce. But talent? Talent is everywhere.

Producers👇
Are you a Producer looking for an IP-based #Horror script?

How about:

SCROOGE: CITY OF THE DAMNED
Scrooge breaks his promise, so a 4th Spirit turns Tiny Tim into a rabid Zombie. Now London will fall unless Scrooge can prove himself worthy of redemption.

Hmm, they probably don't have the cowboys on horses for guards like they do at Bosque Ranch and The Four Sixes.
I can shoot scripts out of the modified t-shirt gun and be back across the border before they can mount up.
I have a plan!

To clear the query cobwebs, I'm going to get a jumpstart on Brett's #ThurdPageThirsday
I wrote a story about a high school golden boy who uses small town fame to hide his murderous nature.
It's not the third page.
Hell, it's not even a page.
This is from the pitch deck.

Yes, there's a cool cat working on getting a pilot around Hollywood for me, but I'm not a sit on the sideline kind of writer.
I have embraced delusional optimism and flung queries for a feature that might be timely.
Or it will cause their delete button to smoke.
But I had fun.

Back to the Patch in November.
The last time I saw Billy Bob and Sam on the screen at the same time was in 1883.
Billy Bob ate that gunslinging scene up.
Looking forward to these two wildcats in the oil bidness.

Hollywood is a business not a charity.
Write something that makes them see...
$ signs.
Invites to better dinner parties.
A step up the corporate ladder.
There are a lot of great people inside the gates who love movies and tv.
Give them a reason to take a chance.
On you.

Y'all, I wonder if they want to adopt a slightly used writer?
I don't eat much.
If not, maybe they know of a Hollywood power couple in need of a writer/Sazerac maker.
