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

Distant Worlds An exciting new sci-fi universe from Ryan Thomas Riddle, plus pop culture commentary.

DISTANT WORLDS = the more welcoming world we can look forward to in our best future. "We have joy and we survive." Signed up for the newsletter to follow the progress: distant-worlds.ghost.io#/portal

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

David Wappel is my new go-to for character-focused notes. Just got off a virtual notes session about my novel-to-screenplay adaptation. Recommend.

That's two screenplays with two consultants in one week. Struck gold twice.

Thanks, @davidwappel.bsky.social

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...

The Script Butcher's notes are prime rib and filet mignon. He didn't deliver buckets of blood. He delivered substance and steak. Recommend.

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

I ordered script notes from the Script Butcher and got them back on Halloween. Ominous or perfect timing for buckets of blood?

His slogan is "one hack at a time," and his avatar a clever.
