one of my earliest (and very underrated) screenwriting books was Writing for Emotional Impact by Karl Iglesias... his main point, you are writing to attract, engage, and fascinate the reader... #scriptsky
Writers sometimes get too hung up trying to make their specs production ready. You can be a little looser and freer at first. The draft will change if you're lucky enough to go into pre-production. Focus more on grabbing the reader emotionally and less about indicating when you have a drone shot.

Why does writing the second act never feel as euphoric as the writing the first..?

Such heartache for all my friends in LA - and, honestly, everywhere, as this portends a very tough period where those charged with looking after the public good instead look out for their own self interest. It's just devastating.

Shocked and saddened at the deaths & devastation caused by the fires in Southern California. I was lucky to spend a month in Santa Monica/LA in Sept.
It was one of the best experiences of my life. The community was kind, welcoming.
Hoping and praying that people are finding safe places to stay.

One of the best things about being off over the festive season is catching up on TV shows and movies.
Today it was Carry-On. *spoilers*
It’s like Collateral, but set in an airport. Clever, gripping in parts. Enjoyed it.

True luxury is found in the simplest moments.
Watching: Red One on Prime.
The critics hate it, the pacing’s off in places. But the concept of an org with oversight in the mythological world is totally cool.
It’s MIB - with trolls! If the movie had been as playful, maybe it would’ve found its audience in theatres. I’d watch a sequel.

Not enough of you are following me for astute observations, brilliant comedy, and revelatory use of the English language. I request that you step up your game.
What if, during the Oscars, Conan imagined that he had a piece of string attached to each of his hips. And he pulled on one to make his hip move. And then pulled on the other to make his other hip move. And then he imagined cutting the string so he could stop moving his hips. (Compliment)
