With a two-hander, a big decision for your screenwriting is when they become a team/couple.
- Rom-com template is at the end.
- Buddy movies just before Act 3.
- Love stories before the midpoint.
Make this decision; regardless of genre, the rest of the structure simplifies.

Here’s hoping!
If you have a clear view of the northern sky on the horizon, you may be able to get a look at some aurora courtesy of a strong geomagnetic storm in progress. It'll be easier to see in a darker place.

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

Turn your little library into a little free pantry. It could make the difference between somebody literally going hungry or not

There’s a story here. #scriptsky
The Cottingley Fairies appear in five photos taken by cousins Elsie Wright (age 16) & Frances Griffiths (9), from Bradford, UK. Their 1917 images caused many to believe the magical creatures were real....even fooling Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle #WomensArt
