1. I love this.
2. You just KNOW in the future some scientist with an ego is gonna be like "honey I CAN'T go fully off grid what if I win the Nobel Prize?!??!"

I have zero ability to follow any clear instructions. Well, that's not exactly true. I can follow them. I seem to have a problem reading them before I hit SUBMIT!

@mark-carney.bsky.social Not being able to share thoughtful media articles on facebook is not doing anything good for anyone. Please get rid of this. I doubt even big media want this as it lessens traffic to their properties.

Stupid patterns in my writing that I always need to go fix in a polish include the overuse of the following:

- Begins (I mean if I'm writing it they are doing it)
- Starts (same problem)
- Heads (sorta same problem)
- Watches (replace w/ glare, stare, glance etc.)

What's your list?

Unsolicited script contest advice: SPECIFICITY.
I keep seeing things like--> NAME X (8–12), NAME Y (20s–30s).

Think about it:
8 = Bluey
12 = BoJack Horseman.

This isn’t a marketing brief.
KNOW YOUR CHARACTERS.

I'm caught in a tweak-loop.

Anyone else use this as a sophisticated method of procrastination? 'I could move on to my new project but I have to change that one word over here or the sky will fall'.

The #scriptsky of course.

ps. Happy Canada day writers! 🇨🇦

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

I find it so annoying watching
a movie preview to a movie i’ve come to the theatre to watch. So I managed to avoid any spoilers only to have it spoiled five minutes before it starts?

I’m in Toronto - do they do this in your town?

I was telling my bf friend how great #Andor is. I explained it its a Star Wars prequel about how the Death Star plans made it to the rebel forces. You know what she said?

"The death star- is that a ship?"

Should I stay friends with her? I'm on the fence.

At what point do you just stop editing and submit? I feel like I'm on revision 455. Each one makes it better (so I guess that's a good thing) but I feel like I'm in an endless loop of never good enough.

Help!

Does anyone else find the @nytimes.com connection bot rude when it doesn't bother to create a description for your guess? What, am i just TOO unique? Can't figure out what my twisted brain was thinking?

Sheesh. Try harder #connectionsbot. I believe in you.
