Hey, qsq for #ScriptSky (particularly working TV writers):

Say you wanted to write a long term Freaky Friday body swap between two main characters. Think as if Picard/Riker had swapped bodies in episode 2 and that just STUCK for 2+ seasons.

How would YOU address it in dialogue slugs and business?

Comment in recently-received notes for my fantasy-comedy

"Ask of every sequence: what becomes impossible to return from after this?"

Love it

Just here to say I made myself watch Happy Death Day, Megan, & Knock at the Cabin and I had a great(?) time.

I only looked away a couple of times but played it off (to myself) that it was because I needed something in the other room. Which I totally did at those moments btw! #moviesky #scriptsky

Hey #scriptsky folk

If you're not following @theplotdoc.bsky.social, then you're missing out

(writing what you think a movie is before you see it is a writing exercise I always like) #scriptsky

Here's maybe the best (worst?) one: "I haven't seen Practical Magic or Mystic Pizza but here's what I think they are with a kinky twist and combined with every Jennifer Connolly movie ever." #scriptsky

"poorly timed Dark Academia mystery" #scriptsky

My face during the Zoom table read of my sexy script 😅

Quick Shot: BLEEDING CONTROL

The most important thing your characters (and YOU) can do for bleeding is apply direct pressure.

Gauze/towels will soak up blood. Pressure will stop it.

Apply a ton of pressure to that gunshot wound to the abdomen, then get to the ER

The Stratford Wife – Sarah E. Sinclair

Super excited that my short screenplay THE BLANKET is an Official Selection at Seattle’s The Thing in the Basement Horror Fest - its third festival selection so far.

Cheers!

Got some good notes back on the fantasy-comedy, and have a Zoom call about it this weekend

The latest rewrite was good, and will do my darnedest to make the next one as irresistible as I can

Okay, but I do have to conclude with one con. For me, personally. I have challenging scenes that I sometimes put off, and once I write "the scenes that aren't," I'm left with the ones I dreaded writing (in a fun way), and I end up curling myself into a ball. 😂 #ScriptSky+ #ScriptSky
