If you’re a Jane Austen fan, I’ve written a sequel to Pride and Prejudice. You can find it on Kindle/Amazon. #booksky #JaneAusten #Wickhamgetshisdue

I’m thrilled my TV pilot MESTIZA has been selected for the Kosice International Film Festival in December. Only 25 films and screenplays were chosen out of over 5500 entries. #scriptsky #writing

I’m beginning to think there may be an end in sight for The Novel That Never Ends. If I can wrap it up by 250,000 words, I’ll trim it down quite a bit. It’ll still be crazy long, though. #writing

Cat #2 was blocking #3 from entering the room. Cat #1 is supervising from her favorite person’s chair. Cat #3 seized an opportunity to sneak in so she could get breakfast.

Cat #1, already chilling for her ten day holiday at my house. Cats 2 and 3 will take a bit longer to warm up.

I’m coining this #SaturdaySentences. Last night I was working on a screenplay that I wrote a while back. I was on a crowded plane and wasn’t feeling it so I closed my computer. Today I felt better about it. Then I came across this line and decided I kinda like it.

I wrote 4,485 words today. I’m pooped. BUT! I finished the first draft of what is essentially a really long first half. 🤣 just kidding. I think I’ll end up only using a few chapters as intro to the story. Adapting a story from script to novel is hard. #writingsky #MESTIZA

I wrote this story in honor of a classmate who died in her early twenties. Ivy was graceful, intelligent, and smiled at my quips. This is my way of giving her another chance at living. DEATH AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS #firstpagefriday

There are at least ten of these posted around the neighborhood. As you can see, Beanie was found four days ago and the poster has taken the time to update us but not to take the signs down. #Beanie
