Finished the first draft of the 11 min screen play I was working on. It is poorly formatted and has plenty of what I’ll call “author notes,” but I have something to polish and edit now. (Don’t get me started on the dialogue).
Thank you to all for the advice to just push on!

Currently paralyzed while writing a screen play. I’ve spent a lot of time looking up all the different formatting (music cue, flashback, quick cuts) and only got 3 pages in. I’m going to just write and then format after.
Any advice? #amwriting #WritingCommunity #screenplay

The bitter freezing temps that are hitting Atlanta are spelling the end of the Joro spiders for the year. This giant is at the end of her life. Sad but not quite Charlotte’s Web sad.

Finished submitting a Drabble (100 word story). Always feels great to send out something when I’ve been working on a longer story. It keeps me motivated.
Anyone else use this strategy?

Check out this awesome Simpsons Treehouse of Horror advent calendar for Halloween. The first item was the book, “How to Cook for Forty Humans,” from the first Treehouse of Horror (1990 😳).

Time to watch Santa’s Slay. Rented this from Blockbuster on a whim years back. I loved this movie from the first scene. When are we going to get a sequel @Goldberg ?
I have the DVD but the movie is streaming on STARZ!

I’m doing my traditional watching of Jack Frost (1997). I remember high school when me and my friends rented the VHS and loved it. Watched it twice that night, back to back, dying laughing. I have an old dvd but it’s streaming almost everywhere!
