This is gold! I'm so happy you have these. And that poem about your grandma. Touching.

And that's wrap on podcast live thoughts.

Ryan, you're glad you lost your 3.5 disc with your first screenplay? I would give anything for the old 3.5s with my first bad poetry. Nostalgic tears.

Ryan says, "You just have to keep going. Keep writing. It's like throwing spaghetti against the wall. You have to have a lot of things going on." Comforting news to those of us whose idea mass is like Tribbles meets noodles. Like me.

"Q: What is something a screenwriter can't learn from a book? A: The business side." Shout out to Kaia Alexander at the Entertainment Business School. I attended with Ryan. Invaluable experience. There's a difference between writing a good work on your own desk and getting it read on someone else's.

Ryan suggests reading both Rian Johnson's screenplay and novella for BRICK. Yes, they're still available on the website. Homework accepted. www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

So do all who see such bugs. All we have to decide is what to do with the marathon time that is given us.

Here's an example of the margin notes he gives on every page of your screenplay. I was delighted with mine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjy4...

Thank you so much, Adele. I'm already finding Bluesky to be so friendly.

Congratulations!
