In some of the world's worst timing, my graphic novel came out today. 3.5 years of hard work to bring one of my scripts to life and it turned out beautifully. Please consider buying a copy for the kids in your life.
Got a 'no' email on a previous 'maybe' today. It doesn't just take one yes, it's an endless series of doors that never amount to anything. Still, I'm happy I'm ending 2025 with two new scripts I'm proud of and ready to throw into the hope roller coaster in the new year.

From theatre to library in the blink of an eye. My turn to see what all the memes were about!

As a Canadian who celebrated Thanksgiving 6 weeks ago (in much nicer weather), I am begging you- please post as many food photos as possible so I can live vicariously.

Still no email and Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I guess I didn't get into the Sundance lab.

First notes for my new feature starting to roll in. After the rough year I've had with writing it's good to see that something is finally landing! #scriptsky
Another #scriptsky winner I just read...
OPULENCE by @lisalueylutes.bsky.social is a HILARIOUS mockumentary set on a cruise ship.
It's also one of the fastest feature scripts I've ever read.
The jokes from the zany cast of characters never stop!
A BRILLIANT premise and execution!
Green light!

I made a list of all my current irons in the fire so I could have a centralized location for all my hopes (and eventual disappointments). Something has to work out eventually right? Right!!??

Teenage daughter has friends over for a pizza party with lots of screaming but it's quiet and cozy in here. I don't know how I ever survived before my writing shed.

I've had countless producers interested in this script and then... *poof*, ghosted. Taking matters into our own hands and the graphic novel version is underway. Both a standalone story and a sequel to my first graphic novel REAL. Follow along here: tapas.io/episode/3731...

Always love a Phoenix read, although this one is definitely out of her wheelhouse!
Jumping into SAVE THE AMAZON (mockumentary feature): when a streamer cancels their favourite TV show, a group of super fans struggle to film it themselves. 😆

I got some good news this morning, I'm having the best writing day I've had in months, I had a great afternoon with my daughter and this proof of concept is finally coming together in post. Some days things hit just right.

Bottoms was so hilarious. My daughter and I laughed and laughed, and as a gay teen herself, she said the dialogue was super accurate. Huge inspiration for the high school comedy I'm working on right now.

Kid came home from school still sick so we're going to watch Bottoms and eat Walmart brand frozen egg rolls made in the air fryer. Can't think of a better afternoon.

This short/music video got zero engagement when we posted it in June. I tried reposting on the hell site today and same thing. I wonder if it's because the original caption is about toys snorting cocaine 😂, or if it's just that nobody cares. #scriptsky #filmsky
My daughter's on an overnight camping trip with her class and we caught her stuffed animals having a wild night while she's gone. Lady Ladybug is the star of our graphic novel Real (but she's not snorting cocaine in the book... it's for children).

I spent the morning sick and crying in bed because this year has been relentless (and I don't mean writing stuff). But I made a plan for the next month until the Christmas holidays and my daughter made me a homemade pizza. I can do this.

These days I don't even keep track of most of the stuff I have out there that I'm waiting on, but I cannot stop refreshing my email this week hoping to hear about the Sundance lab.
