Anyone else get dozens of notifications that someone really wants a horror feature with franchise potential? 👻

Thrilled to hear that my hour-long TV pilot CAPITAL is now a semi-finalist in the @networkisa.bsky.social Emerging Screenwriters Thriller Screenplay Competition. 🙌

This story is close to my heart, which makes its advancement extra special.

Currently obsessed with Atticus's poetry. I think this one might be my favorite.
White "paper" on a black background and intersected by a black pen. "It was her chaos that made her beautiful - Atticus" is written on the paper.

Can we please discuss the brilliance of Julianne Nicholson’s “Dance Mom” in this season of HACKS? A+ character, writing, casting, and performance. Seriously loved it.
Still of Julianne Nicholson as "Dance Mom" in HACKS. She is wearing a multi-shade teal robe and sitting on a cushion atop a balcony. Her legs are crossed, and her mouth is open in an expression of disbelief.

Just finished STATE OF TERROR by @hillaryclinton.bsky.social & @louisepennyauthor.bsky.social and WOW! I loved the thriller's layers and how intellect and emotion played a big part. Madison Wells has it in development as a series, and I can't wait. It's the exact kind of show I'd love to work on.
The front cover of the book "STATE OF TERROR." It reads: "A PULSATING THRILLER." - PEOPLE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON STATE OF TERROR A NOVEL LOUISE PENNY "A HEART-POUNDING MYSTERY." - TIME And then down the right site - "THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER" The cover is a blue-toned, askew image of the White House and the surrounding area. The authors' names are in bright yellow, and the other information is in white.

Milky Way! I’ve wanted to see it for forever, and my incredible friends made it happen.
Stars scattered throughout a dark, purple-tinged sky over Joshua trees. The white of the Milky Way is just visible. Stars scattered throughout a dark, purple-tinged sky over Joshua trees. The white of the Milky Way is pink-tinged and partially visible.

Last week, I got to go up to Solvang and help build Lulu Hyggelig, the newest Thomas Dambo troll! He, his team, and everyone at the museum made the whole experience absolutely magical.
A large troll made out of wood sitting in a room that is too small for her. Her tongue hangs out of her mouth, her legs are spread, and one hand grips the doorframe. Artist Thomas Dambo, a very tall, white man with brown hair wearing a cream, long-sleeve shirt, poses with Robin Fusco, a white woman with blonde hair and a burgundy, short-sleeve shirt. Two white women attach wood to the troll. One squats next to the piece, holding a plank in place. The other bends over it and uses a screw gun to attach it. Robin, a white woman with blonde hair and a burgundy shirt, sits amongst the wood that will become the troll and smiles directly at the camera.

When the “scenic overlook” sign leads you to this lovely view. 🤣

But got the first hike of the year in!
A large, blue dumpster on top of packed brown dirt on the top of a small mountain. There are green shrubs to its left, and buildings can be seen past it in the far distance.

In addition to lots of unexpected titles (last minute gift ideas, anyone?), The Last Bookstore Studio City has unexpected art and is just a fun, relaxing place to be. Go check it out. (4437 Lankershim)

A wall and door separating two parts of the store. Wooden letters spell out “Last Bookstore” on top of a ledge over the door and there is a large, potted plant toward the left side of the photo. An intricately carved tree trunk featuring trees, branches, elephants, flowers, and plants. A small structure that looks like a grey mausoleum with two green plants in front of its door.

The incomparable @pepperreed.bsky.social let me join her at Stitch Space, one of her favorite LA spots, where I learned to use a sewing machine and made this darling mini pillow.

I didn’t track picketing hours, but outside of that, my year in writing. ☺️

Josh McHugh carved this outside of Disney today, and seeing the progress every time we looped around was astounding. He brought so much joy to picketers today!

(He’s @joshmchughcarves over on IG if you want to see more of his creation.)

Went to Fox for IATSE Appreciation Day. So many members came out that it was impossible to get them all in one photo. Here’s to IATSE, Teamsters, and all the crew members standing in solidarity. 💙

The Talk did the right thing and won’t be shooting during the strike. Solidarity works.
