You know what they say...

"When the writing is flowing, soon you'll be going (to Hollywood)"

It's not a very good saying

What I found kept me sane, but also led to some real opportunities, was volunteering the free time I had to help folks out.

Whether that's aiding another writer on here or making a difference in your own community, putting that time to good use was crucial to help me build some great relationships.

Amazing! Congratulations Stacey! So glad you get to go and rep this script in person.

Not sure I've already found that balance, but I'm sure going to keep trying!

Last October, I was in a low place. Freshly laid off from work and few prospects of hope on the horizon.

Just a year later, I'm still out of (full time) work, but my writing career is at an all time high with a month of meetings with some exciting people.

The only way out is through.

After the Hunt John welcomes writer and actress Nora Garrett to look at how her first screenplay, After the Hunt, took her from being un-repped to working with director Luca Guadagnino. They discuss her path from ac...

The latest Scriptnotes episode is a perfect reminder that you don't NEED a bunch of competition accolades, or reps, or a million industry connections in order to get a script made.

Sometimes, all it takes is the right story at the right time.

It's cruel that the worst people running our country also happen to say some of the funniest stuff that's ever been said.

Of course the day I'm stuck away from my computer working a gig is the same day my brain decides to overflow with ideas.

The timing is impeccable.

Dear #Scriptsky

I'd like to formally announce I'll be taking a break from screenwriting while I focus on collecting myself. I'll announce my return once that's done. Take it easy. ✌️

...

Okay, break's over. I'm back.

Might have gotten to a point where I have to start scheduling specific writing time for specific projects in order to keep things straight right now.

Good problem to have...right?
