Finished my first draft of my first complete screenplay today. I'm taking a moment to celebrate this milestone. The first one may have taken me 48.5 years but the second one will be done by June. Now -- to revise! #Scriptsky

Today's goal: finish my first rough draft of my first complete script. Channeling Carolyn Burnham in American Beauty (though hopefully my day won't end like hers did.) Please send good writing vibes! #scriptsky

Youngsters who have never seen this before - you're welcome. youtu.be/dTAAsCNK7RA?...

To buy myself some writing time on Thanksgiving break, I downloaded Final Draft onto my kids' computer and suggested they write a spec script for their favorite series. Very curious to see what happens. Will update later...
