Cicada scream is the sound of a Texas summer. I miss it every year when the weather cools and the fat bastards go to sleep for another few months.

Blockbuster used to have an entire aisle of cicada movies.

True story.

I'm occasionally taking swigs from a bottle of sparkling water in my fridge! #scriptsky #scriptchat

Oh and BTW FWIW LMNOP it seems "#ScriptChat" is trending.

So be careful what you say. Adults might be lurking.

This is a good vid about how editors create "oh fuck!" moments.

Before the movie exists for the editor to cut, it's the job of the screenwriter to create "oh fuck!" narrative moments and convey them with specificity in the language of the screenplay.

Already had two pints of Guinness but have shifted to water since I am not allowed to have THAT much Joy in my life on a work night.

My earliest writing hero.

#ScriptChat bevie check!

I'm drinking some Oolong tea out kf my fave new mug. What you drinking tonight? #Scriptsky

Having a full time gig tends to crimp my wee-hour alcohol fueled creative bouts, while exhaustion tends to swallow up any of those early morning fits of literary frivolity.

I'm a victim.

#ScriptChat #ScriptSky

After 50 years of scribbling stories (I started young and have then sucked for a long time) I understand that I have two times when I am most creative:

-- LATE LATE at night when deep into the hooch
-- EARLY EARLY in the day before the Universe has pissed me off for the day

UNRAVELED is like MISERY meets BABY REINDEER.

It's only a 2nd draft, but there's promise! And also some super fucked up scenes 😅 #Scriptsky #ScriptChat

Victories?
yeah, was swept up by the Muses and pantsed a feature length script that is a riot. Plan is to shoot it in the new year, and then took that momentum over to a very cool novel idea that I'm locking down the outline while on vacation.

For some inexplicable mysterious reason I just this constant vague consuming notion that "everything is shit" these days and that kinda sorta tends to eat into my mojo for conjuring Genius.

We may be on vacation in Quebec and the Maritimes but that doesn’t mean the writing stops. #amwri̇ti̇ng #scriptwriting #fictionwriting #scriptsky

I can see a poster for NEEDLES....

Agree. It also forces me to be radically vulnerable, which is where I feel my best writing springs forth.

#ScriptChat #Scriptsky

I've got a few (because I'm an insane person 🙃):

Workshopping a horror pilot about a cursed small town. Trying to start revisions on my knitting horror feature. And hoping to finish my Faustian horror story by year end.

And CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON is an absolute fave. I have a framed poster over my computer as I blather write now.

#ScriptChat #ScriptSky

I have a long simmering idea for a cheesy 50s style creature feature I might write and produce myself.
