Watching @realgdt.bsky.social's #Frankenstein right now & as Victor was cutting into a leg, my first instinct was to shout, out loud, "Is it cake?!" 🤪

Hi @johnaugust.bsky.social! Was listening to #Scriptnotes w/ @abmck.bsky.social & I wanted to THANK HER for what she said re: what it's like for new writers now! It's been my exp for YEARS & it feels a bit gaslighty when folks insist it's all down to script quality & persistence. (1/4) #ScriptSky

CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG - the 1st book I borrowed w/my 1st library card (around 4).

THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES - Star Trek made me ❤️ watching #scifi. Bradbury made me ❤️ READING it (around 8)

1984 - 1st book that made me realize novels could be both entertaining AND political. (around 16)

THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES made me a reader when I was still a little kid.

TENDER IS THE NIGHT, THE FALL (Camus) and VALIS all changed the way I think of myself, and life in general.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

One of my fave writers & nerds wrote an awesome piece about his process re: character & plot. Even as he describes his plot-first approach, ultimately plot serves character in service of theme. So really, "theme-first" is the jam. What are we trying to SAY?

Where do I even begin? Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social has created an absolute masterpiece. I only wish I’d had the chance to experience it on the big screen. The story of Frankenstein has been told countless times, but never like this.

"They are currently hot adults." 😘

Do I get nostalgic about my youth? Totally. But youth isn't automatically better by virtue of being "youth."

This is a text exchange between me & my BFF-since-I-was-10, Robin after I sent her a pic I found of us during our HS graduation.

Know what? It's actually OK to like your own #writing! 😲 I know I'm SUPPOSED to think everything I write is trash, but I just reread 2 scenes I wrote for a new spec...& I ❤️ them! Well-paced, vividly described but not overly so, spare but meaningful dialogue, nuanced characters. Go me? #ScriptSky

First #ShortFilm accomplished. The #HappyBirthdayHarold shoot is over & went swimmingly, despite the usual #production hiccups. I had the best crew & such a talented cast & I am so grateful & so very, very tired. More to come!

Today was a big day. I've tried for yrs to complete a #ShortFilm, but haven't been able to follow thru for various reasons. Today was my tech scout & a cast rehearsal for a short I've written & am directing called 'Happy Birthday Harold' - we shoot NEXT WEEKEND. It's really happening. 🥹 #ScriptSky

Working w/ @freakyaguilar.bsky.social as my @sunbloomarts.bsky.social mentor, he asked me to create mock-ups of different screens for my #VisualNovel. Thx to awesome art from Aisling Kesinger & @princessjem4.bsky.social, #ROBOTGIRL's gonna look SO cute! My basic design for a choice screen. #GameDev
Mock-up of a choice screen from the visual novel, ROBOT GIRL. The background image is a teen girl bedroom with a pink and purple color scheme. Overlaid on the left side of the image is a square illustrated image of Latina player character, Ana. Beneath her are smaller square images of three robots: Sensors, Effectors, and Control System. Above Ana are 10 illustrated pink sporks. On the right of the image is a pink banner with the following written in black text: "Even without the overhead light, the space is warmly lit by strands of purple fairy lights hanging across the ceiling..." Beneath the banner are four choices on black buttons with white text and a small light blue illustration of Saturn next to each one. They are: * I hate the dark. * Listen, energy-efficient, low-light strands are both a practical night-light and super-cute, okay? * The purple lights get hazy as my gaze softens... * To-Do: 1) Disconnect the...

Had a great time speaking on a panel called MAKING THE PITCH that FOX's Latine org HOLA was hosting to highlight Latina industry pros for #LatineHeritageMonth & they just sent me this as a Thank You! Very sweet. Thanks @fisforphantom.bsky.social for including me! #LatinSky #ScriptSky #FOXTelevision
Image of a bouquet of colorful flowers in a glass vase with a Thank You card propped up in front of it sitting on a desk. Image of the inside of the Thank You card. It reads: "Dear Teresa, On behalf of our entire team at FOX HOLA, we sincerely appreciate your invaluable contribution as panelist. In fact, we have already heard from several participants that they really appreciated your contribution! Please enjoy this small token of thanks."
