Can be scary. I had a reader run out of timeโ€ฆ thought to myself โ€œthose notes thoughโ€ฆโ€ pretty sure itโ€™s in good hands now. Reader recognized the work and gave me a heads up!

So it is a little crazy. I just wrapped a draft of my second feature of 2026. -To Kill Today- 105 pages across 2 centuries! I need a drink. #scriptsky

#ScreenwritingChallenge I hit the submit button for "Dismissed." A 10-page banger! Group 22. Ghost Story/Unsolved/Dispatcher. Open to read any others from the group, or any others if you want a set of eyes on it before hitting that button.
#scriptsky

Good luck, everyone!

I signed up late after thinking I would sit it out.

But my round 1 10 pager went on to be a Second Rounder in 32nd Austin Film Fest. Round 2 and 3 scripts won Comedy awards. Such a great experience. Couldnโ€™t skip it. #scriptsky
