Writer fueled by pop-punk and Dr. Pepper, distracted by my mini-schnauzer and buying notebooks I'll never use.

My first feature, Bookworm and the Beast, is available on Amazon, Tubi, and Peacock for free!

My second feature coming soon!

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

UM, I had NO idea facebook was tracking everything I did on the internet. EVERYTHING. I have diligently blocked and followed all ways to try to stop this messed up social media from taking from me, but this is the final straw… THESE JERKS! AGH! [screenshots on how to do it in the comments]

Happy New Year friends! I hope this year treats you kindly and gently, and all your hard work pays off in spades.

The sun is setting at 5:01pm today, so here are some nice December things:

Tea with cream and honey
Shortbread
Cozy sweaters
Heating pads
Pink sunsets
Twinkle lights
Cinnamon and Christmas tree candles
Wrapping a scarf around your neck
Going to bed early (might as well, it's already dark out)

People of Bluesky. Let's get to know each other better. What is your all-time favorite TV show?

I've loved it since it aired weekly on The WB (well, rebroadcast on CTV). The wit, the pop culture references, the small town charm, Jess Mariano as the big city bad boy.... it's perfection.

people ask, “how can I recover my sense of wonder?” take an interest in things. visit art galleries, hit up the library and discover-browse. read widely. learn new languages, new words. watch old films. the world is a wonderful place but wonder is a muscle that must be cultivated like any other.

Finally added to the "about me" section (is that what they call it here?) and added a banner picture. Feels like I'm unpacking the boxes and settling in to the new place.

Now to actually sit down and work on my newest script....

I'm a 1
Doing a little experiment #scriptsky.

I'm curious to get a rough feel for how many #screenwriters:
1 ) just moved here;
2) returned to dormant accounts;
3) were already active posters here.
If you could like /repost this and reply with the number that *best* describes you, I'd appreciate it.

More than 24 hours later, I'm still loving Bluesky. At least, as much as one can love a social media site.

I've found old friends from Twitter, and some new ones too!

And candidly, I'm still a little cautious about posting too much, but everyone is so nice here, it's really encouraging.
