Nice to get some feedback like this. Probably the most high-concept script I’ve written yet. Chop wood, carry water.

Kinda want to take some psychedelics and watch the State of the Union just to see how well my brain handles it.

The US probably needed a win like that before they go to war again for another 20 years.

Kinda want to load one of screenplays into ChatGPT to see if I can get it to kill itself. If you’ve read my work, you know it’s a possibility.

A question that’s been circulating around my skull a lot lately has been - “Is it ethical to be alive?” - a strange thing to have running around in one's brain.

First page of my take on a haunted house story where the real threat isn‘t the home but the realtor selling it.

Logline: “When their breakup forces them to sell their dream home, a dysfunctional young couple suspects their eccentric realtor is concealing a horrifying secret.” #scriptsky

Finished yet another rewatch of The Invisible Man. Holds up every damn time. Such a great movie.

I’d kill to write a script for and work with @conanthecontrarian.bsky.social someday.

Some days, you just want to give up and
let that boulder roll down the hill right over you.

And yet, here I am, pushing that mass up because
I cannot do anything but carry on.

I can’t wait to write tomorrow.

When I wrote my first novel, it was dystopian fiction. It wasn’t written well — that of a young, inexperienced writer — but some of the shit I put in that book… I might need to rewrite it and republish it.

It is now abundantly clear that the United States of America no longer yearns to be a shining city upon a hill for the many but more so, an outhouse, gold-plated and haphazardly propped up, by a pile of bloated corpses, for the few.

Who will we be
when the smoke
finally dissipates
Who will be we
when the first laugh
breaks through
the endless
wailing.
