04.08.2025 04:42 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0What are synonyms to a group of people "milling about" a location? Because i use that phrase way too much in my current WIP, and I've been embarrassingly called out on it. #scriptsky ๐

02.08.2025 01:09 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Well, ideally I'll be "done" by then... or at least be in a position where I'm waiting on feedback, so I might be in a perfect place for something new. But we'll see! #scriptchat
02.08.2025 01:04 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I'm definitely down, but the funny thing is, my current project is already very out of my wheelhouse, so I'll have to find a way to top it. #scriptchat
02.08.2025 00:59 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Writing's been going pretty good. But the comedy-horror feature rewrite I'm doing keeps getting interrupted by other writing related things, like networking events or other small gigs that are coming up for me. Not a bad problem to have though. #scriptchat

If he's with a date/company, whatever they're having.
Alone? Probably just the cheapest beer on the menu.
Do you ever return to a script rewrite after a bit of time off and find yourself in the middle of a new scene you don't remember starting to write at all? ๐ #scriptsky

26.07.2025 22:21 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Off to @justforlaughs.bsky.social ComedyPro day #1. May I be blessed with the ability to fake being extroverted and good at networking for three days!
23.07.2025 16:56 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That feeling when you're waiting for important emails, but whenever you see something show up in your inbox, it's just promos from Uber Eats...
23.07.2025 00:08 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I'm generally good for all weekday nights, except for Tuesdays where I'm available every second Tuesday.
22.07.2025 02:19 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Sunday evenings are typically not good for me. That's my 'family hang out" day. I have the same issue with #scriptchat on Twitter.
That said, I mean, go with whatever works best for you and the majority of interested folks. :P
That would be fun. There clearly are people here, but the feed sometimes feels a little... sterile?
22.07.2025 01:49 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Can confirm no hair color mentioned!
Tying back to the original question: If hair color somehow is relevant to the character/story, mention it whenever you need to!
Going through the somehow both dull and stressful process of looking through all the guests coming to JFL ComedyPro and sending out networking requests. Hoping for some interesting bites! #scriptsky #filmsky

I'm not the biggest Superman or DC guy, but I was curious about this movie, even more so after all the controversy this week, so I checked it out.
I really enjoyed it! A very solid, fun, accessible superhero flick. Maybe my favorite DC movie? Great cast; Hoult and Brosnahan are standouts. #Superman
This is such a baby #gamer post, but I'm pleased with myself. When I first tried playing Breath of the Wild, a couple years ago, I quit at that Lynel on the Van Ruto path (went in ill-prepared and got demotivated). Well, today, I came back to that spot and kicked that centaur's butt! Onward! #botw

I got no new emails or messages saying they were trying again or that it was delivered. If I didn't open their tracking page on my own, I might've let it sit outside for hours. ๐ฎโ๐จ
