I don't just read your script.

Nearly all of my services go through an undisclosed:

first read
initial notes
second read
additional notes
story breakdown
& then story breakdown notes before finally writing my report.

That's what it is to be Philmscribed.

Imagine if burglars openly complained about how asking for permission to enter victims homes would β€˜kill’ the burglary business.

"For years, I’ve put my grief down on pages, taken it off my back and out of my body, shaped it in a new way, thrown it out to the sky. By doing so, I’ve honored, owned, and transformed my own losses..." ~ Anne Pinkerton

How did I not know about this mag? β€œSpeculative stories about our inner lives” are very much my kind of thing.

I drink too much eggnog. I drink it on its own, and I also add it to my tea and coffee too, in lieu of sugar and milk. I wish it wasn't so delicious.

I am learning that the best way to get into a starter pack is to make your own. Please comment below if you'd like me to include you in "Writers who wave back at that one leaf on the tree that is waving at the world" Starter Pack.

In honour of my eldest child becoming a teenager today, here is a cartoon I wrote/drew earlier this year, inspired by him and what he likes to remind me of quite often. πŸ˜‚
