Forgot to mention in the video that I already outlined one script today. And these are all feature length scripts. Four feature length scripts.

Outlining has been an absolute game changer for me.

Hey #Scriptsky if you're looking for some epic ass music to write to, go to your music app and search "Baltic House Orchestra".

You're welcome.

I love it when that epiphany hits and makes the story better!

I did that yesterday. Gave a nameless character a name, and she now wants to go from timid to badass through the script, and best believe Imma make it happen for babygirl.

All because I realized I was fridging her and didn't want to.

Y'all, the number of times I see some scammy-looking shit re: the film and TV industry...

Look y'all, if you see anyone touting themselves as an "industry expert" or "insider", the FIRST thing you should do is look up their IMDb.

That's all I'm gonna say.

That's how these things work, after all.

I would do a mockumentary/found footage spoof called The Pizzagate Conspiracy.

I didn't even place, and I think that's rude.

I mean, I didn't enter, but still.

Rude.

I am indeed. This is my second of the four. I don't remember if I mentioned it, but my goal isn't to have them production-ready by the end of the year; just to have four first drafts by the end of the year. I hope to have them ready for readers by late spring/early summer.

Just got here. Think I'm gonna do my writing at lunch today. The brain fog won't stop brain fogging.

But yesterday at lunch I wrote some banger scenes and gave a previously unnamed character a better character arc.

Also my midpoint is on page 71, so there's that.

I'm on 95ish.

Cool story Texas-Whatsis.

My Black wife's ancestors were sold here in 1619.

I guess she's more American than you.

WGA / Writer friends, does anyone know how I can reach @starleekine.bsky.social ?

Starlee was part of a TINY picket of 3 people that shut down Evil's production on May 5, 2023.

There was a video that went viral with 3.8 mil views, but it was posted by someone else. And I'm not on Twitter anymore.

I'm close to being at your beginning point. Govt contact ends next month. Possibility of going full time DoD, but equally possible that'll be delayed due to the shutdown. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good news is that the writing is flowing.

Ok y'all, I poured my anger onto the pages of my script.

Apparently crankiness=fight scenes for me. Who knew? 🤣

Also, I had a "character surprise": gave an unnamed character a name, and now she wants to go from timid mousey girl to warrior badass.

Imma make that happen for her.

Me: Dear Ryan Coogler;

Paul Bae told me to tell you...

That's standard procedure in literally every other workplace etiquette, so I don't see how it would be different in film and television.
