I want Bodice Rippers to feel like a modern-day fairytale that makes women’s brains feel better. The script opened some doors for me: accolades, meetings, and my first rep. Right now, I’m sending the audio adaptation out to development execs and producers. #scriptsky

My only escape during the pandemic was watching and reading romance. I wish I could live like Jamie and Claire in #Outlander, riding into the sunset on horseback, totally free, surrounded by a boundless expanse of green, and not fighting about socks with a stir crazy 5-year-old. #scriptsky

Wish fulfillment of #Bridgerton meets #Hacks w. a wink to #Outlander; when a romance fanfic writer who prefers her laptop over the limelight helps a runaway princess in the Scottish Highlands, she’s thrust into a media firestorm & into the arms of the celeb of her secret fantasies. #scriptsky

I adapted my 1/2 hour comedy, Bodice Rippers, into an audio drama! It was so much fun to bring a story I’d worked on for years to life with sound, music, and a terrific international cast of hilarious, talented actors. I also got to act again after a long hiatus behind my laptop. #scriptsky

Here’s a TV show staffing pitch I wrote for a network writing fellowship application. Nope, I didn’t get in. Today is (was?) my mom’s birthday. To honor her, here’s a story about her not taking anyone’s shit, not even a bride of Christ. open.substack.com/pub/lauraman...

Please take a brief break from your doom scrolling to enjoy pigs swimming. I met these angels on Pig Island at Meek’s Patch, Bahamas. They’re my new favorite people.

I was so lucky to see New Order play the Cruel World Festival in Pasadena a few weeks ago. Please play "Temptation" at my funeral. Or a birthday party. Being alive while listening is probably ideal. 👁️

I can’t believe we have to spend our Saturdays in front of car stores protesting a corrupt ketamine junkie and his incel goon squad, but this is our lives now. At least stuff is cheaper and the stock market is up. Oh. Wait…

1/I had a fantastic time recording an audio adaptation of my half-hour pilot, BODICE RIPPERS! I learned so much adapting this script for a listening audience, and it was a blast to act again. #scriptsky #scriptskyus
