Reintroducing myself here - I'm Mannie! I'm a uni student studying psychology.
Also an aspiring screenwriter. I like writing high-concept, but emotionally ground work. Thriller, halls of power, a bit of sci-fi.
Currently writing my first pilot based on the genres above! #scriptsky

Finally starting to really work on my new pilot, The Nanny.
I only have the shell of the story so far, but it's coming along.
It's a murder mystery: Poker Face x The Better Sister

My win for the month has been very slowly but steadily working through my spec, which I just finished yesterday finally!
I have mixed feelings about it, but looking back, I think writing this one taught me a lot that I needed to learn. #scriptchat

It only took months and months and months, but the spec is finally done!
I have many feelings about it, not all of them positive, but nevertheless it's done anyway. And now I can take a break before moving into original stuff. #scriptsky #chicagofire

The UK has always had a smear of nasty little people (see history books for details) so Reform replacing Tories is understandable. But collectively we are going to have to get smarter against this threat and not just dismiss them (me included) or the next General Election will be terrifying…

Mental health terms MATTER
Psychotic = distorted reality (eg severe delusions, auditory/visual hallucinations). It does NOT = crazy
Bipolar = intermittent manic/hypomanic episodes +- depressive episodes, NOT emotional instability
Schizophrenic = a diagnosis, NOT an adjective

Got some great notes on the last two acts of my spec from a friend and made those changes.
Doing some rewrites on the first few acts for the next few days. Getting closer to hopefully, finally finishing this one #writing #scriptsky

Dear studio execs. Without writers you don’t have TV shows, dramas or sitcoms. Without writers you have nothing. You paid the mechanic who fixed your car, paid for your groceries, expect teachers and medical staff to be paid. Writing’s a highly skilled job. Pay writers! #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky
Following the massive success of the original SNL show in the US, we thought we’d do a UK version. However, unlike the original we’re not going to pay actual writers. They’ll be falling over themselves to write for free for us. We’ll pay the actors, editor, floor manager etc, but writers? Nah! 😡

Question to the TV people: where are you able to find scripts to read online?
Cos I've been looking and it seems that there are only a select few in select places to find some of them. #scriptsky

You cannot win. Your crusade is futile and self-defeating. You can never wipe us out. We have existed since the dawn of humanity and will be there at its very end. 🌈
No matter how you beat us down and crush us under your heel, we will never die. ✊😠

24 HOURS TO GO! we still need to cover paying an artist for a poster and film festival submission fees
and YOU can help make this trans sci-fi short film happen, the very one that @lillywachowski.bsky.social said “is a soothing balm. Art that heals cracks in our hearts is vital now more than ever.”
