If you’re feeling jaded, remember this industry is brutal and you’re doing your best. You aren’t “just” a writer, you’re also expected to be a reader, editor, networker, salesperson and graphic designer, let alone if you plan to film something yourself. Be proud. I’m proud of you. #ScriptSky

Come to Jesus – Joy Gregory
½ Hour Comedy
Delia Ann Harper is hiding out with her two teens after the televangelist empire she built was brought down by fraud and sex. A black comedy about crucifixion, resurrection and how hard it is to admit you fucked up. #TVsky #Scriptsky

Have until tomorrow night to finish up some polishing on my script... and most of tomorrow is going to be taken up celebrating Thanksgiving and my sister's birthday... so I basically just have today. #scriptsky

I took all my feelings about using AI for screenwriting and wrote them down.

It's a little long, but don't worry, it's also depressing.

What a terrific thread... #scriptsky #screenwriting

The face I make when I'm only on page 70 of my first draft but I can already hear the climax train chugging in the distance...

If you know, you know.

If EVER you doubt your special creative abilities, just look around at the paste-eating schmucks hoping to replicate your abilities by glomming onto A.I.
