Writing partner: “Let’s go somewhere new to write today.” CUT TO: Me, clutching my laptop as we drive deep into the desert. “Too far. TOO FAR.” 🌵🏜️💻 #scriptsky

Reading THE BIG SICK script by Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani. I love the way Gordon and Nanjiani laid out their montages. They’re so clean and well-paced. Each montage tells its own complete story while also creating tension for what’s to immediately follow. #credithumanwriters #scriptsky

Reading DIE HARD script by Jeb Stuart, revisions by Steven E DeSouza, based on Roderick Thorp’s novel “Nothing Lasts Forever”.

My fave bit of exposition so far: “Big Cray units groan with electronic squeals and sparks as a million gigabytes goes to RAM heaven.” #credithumanwriters

Look what I made…instead of working on the new script draft. Judge me OR join me for yummy procrastination. We begin w/ these spicy miracles from IG: @shortgirltallorder 🍪 10/10

No. YOU can’t fit every single idea into this 90 page script. I however am doing JUST FINE. #scriptsky #schittscreek

I wish you all an excellent day doing stuff you love with people who won’t make you explain the WGA strike over and over. P.S. Tom Turkey has been carefully preserved and displayed every Thanksgiving since I was a kid. I love putting him out every year. 🦃 #scriptsky

Look at the pretty flowers, everyone! Pay NO attention to the woman panicking over her script deadline with a goddamn plot hole big enough to seat the entire Oscar Academy. IT’S FINE. ALL GOOD. ARE YOU GONNA FINISH THAT COOKIE? (takes all the cookies & lurches off into the woods) #scriptsky

Finally…it’s the time of year when we can discuss my real parents #scriptsky #october

Here it is…my Jane Austen-addicted brain prefers words on paper, rather than staring/sobbing at the laptop screen. Swear to god if I could wander the moors with this notebook, my life would be complete.

How do you all organize your rewrites?

I’m not saying I’ve been streaming a ton of stuff, but when I had to get up and pee during the theater screening of A Haunting in Venice, the rest of the audience refused to hit the pause button. So rude.

P.S. The movie was moody AF and I loved it.

Amazing book. Recommend.

A hurricane AND an earthquake?! Someone is vastly overestimating my ability to multitask my panic. #scriptsky
