OK, it's on. Let's give it a shot.

#scriptchat right here, first Friday night of every month, starting Feb 7th.

Use the hashtag to join in.

5-6pm PT | 8-9pm ET

The chat is also still on X on Sunday nights, too.

So #ScriptSky peeps, let's say I brought #scriptchat over here once/mo. I can't do it every week, so trying to be realistic.

Would 5-6pm PT on first Friday of every month be a good night? I feel like Fridays worked best for our #PipelineWriters peeps.

Thoughts?

My confession. And it wasn't easy to admit ...

But for a Time

You feel as if you’re in a rip current, paddling and paddling, yet getting farther from your goals.

I’m not here much. I need 6 clones to be on all the socials. But I do come here to do #scriptchat the first Friday of each month. 5-6pm PT 🤷‍♀️

Yes, I am still writing Balls of Steel for @scriptmagazine.bsky.social

My latest ... about consistency. I wrote it as much for me as for y'all.

Hope to see a few of you at Storytelling 360 Sunday!

What got you into screenwriting? #scriptchat

I've been meeting more and more screenwriters who are also dipping their toes into writing plays. You should try it! #scriptchat

With the contraction in the industry, there's never been a better time to try writing in diff't mediums. Short stories, novels, freelance articles.

How many of you are doing that? #scriptchat

I started on Movie Magic, too. I loved the color-coding notes feature, esp when writing with a partner. #scriptchat

Jeanne Veillette Bowerman @jeannevb.bsky.social · Oct 4

I'm going to be in NYC on Sunday for Storytelling 360 conference. If anyone here is going, let me know! #scriptchat

Jeanne Veillette Bowerman @jeannevb.bsky.social · Oct 4

Sorry for your loss. Glad you're finding your creative space again. #scriptchat

Jeanne Veillette Bowerman @jeannevb.bsky.social · Oct 4

Are you writing novels in one genre or multiple genres? #scriptchat

Jeanne Veillette Bowerman @jeannevb.bsky.social · Oct 4

One thing I often do is write a stream-of-consciousness synopsis of what I want the story to be, then outline in more detail. Then after the draft is done, I rewrite a draft synopsis of the story I actually told. #scriptchat

I love outlining, bc I like having a plan (in life, too). But I never stick to it once I start writing. Somehow it just makes me feel better knowing I have a path, even if I veer off it. #scriptchat

Perfect strategy, esp by using your older scripts! #scriptchat
