I pitched yesterday - for the first time ever - and it was kind of… fun?

Love talking MOW romcoms with someone who *gets it* - why we watch, how to keep budget in check, network expectations…

Now begins the waiting game! 🤞

For my ghosty romcom inspired by a grown-up Casper?

💯 has to be @devonsawa.bsky.social as BEN, the ghost who doesn’t know he’s a ghost 👻

(Although after FINALLY seeing the triumph slasher+romcom that is Heart Eyes, maybe my script needs some more spookiness… 🤔) #scriptsky

Late but not never! Just finished the thing ❤️

(And since our Christmas lights are still frozen to our fence, I feel like I didn’t miss the holiday by TOO much… 😘) #scriptsky
Time for a #31DaysOfScriptmas redux!

Did this back on the other place a couple years ago, but it resulted in a fun Christmas romcom that’s currently with producers 🤞

🎄31 days.
🎄10 million holiday responsibilities to get in the way.
🎄(Hopefully!) 1 finished Christmas script.
