Watchout by KARDI on Apple Music Song · 2022 · Duration 2:57

Trying to wake up the brain cells today? Try this song…Watchout. LOUD. You’re welcome. Now go write some pages!! music.apple.com/us/album/wat... #scriptsky

I just watched THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND and it is such a beautiful love letter to isolated life, and the music that connects us to each other and the lost parts of ourselves. The sweet simple finale made me fucking sob on this plane. Bravo, Tom Basden, James Griffiths, and Tim Key!! #scriptsky

Well, I’m probs buried in a box somewhere so I bequeath you my Bluesky drafts folder. It’s full of all my best comebacks… 5+ years too late.

Writing partner: “Let’s go somewhere new to write today.” CUT TO: Me, clutching my laptop as we drive deep into the desert. “Too far. TOO FAR.” 🌵🏜️💻 #scriptsky

Today the voice of my subconscious will be played by… Sinead Cusack… in her role as Hannah Thornton in North & South. You’ve been warned. #film #anxiety #screenwriter

Thou shalt not snatch people off the streets for their opinions.

Ok our new codeword is BACKPACK. Its use will trigger a wave of happy dog and squirrel memes until the user has reverted to a functioning level of writing/optimism. Deal?

Hanging in there. Every day feels like we’re all just doing homework at the dining room table and then a mean drunk uncle stumbles through in his undies muttering racist stuff and then pukes on our backpacks. Obvious thematic imagery…but also may have happened during a sleepover when I was a kid.

Hey @abovewill.bsky.social how’s it going? I’m worried you’re in a pollen coma. :P

Reading THE BIG SICK script by Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani. I love the way Gordon and Nanjiani laid out their montages. They’re so clean and well-paced. Each montage tells its own complete story while also creating tension for what’s to immediately follow. #credithumanwriters #scriptsky

GASP. That looks like an amazing place to spend time when everything is cold and gray outside. Thanks for posting :)

Yeeeessssss. My writing partner and I are also doing applications right now and oh my god…the way we’ve argued over this artist’s statement. It’s like being tasked with writing the perfect marriage vows for people we don’t know.

12:15 Work on new comedy

12:30 Try to remember name of historical figure I need to reference for a joke

12:31 Eat another cookie…you know for brain power

12:35 Ditto

12:36 Open Safari to look up the historical figure…finds EVERYTHING KNOWN TO HUMANKIND

3:00 Wait. What was I doing? #scriptsky

You guys! Look…we can support a small business owner AND make our panic rooms seem more cozy. Love all of this!

Back at you :)

Reading DIE HARD script by Jeb Stuart, revisions by Steven E DeSouza, based on Roderick Thorp’s novel “Nothing Lasts Forever”.

My fave bit of exposition so far: “Big Cray units groan with electronic squeals and sparks as a million gigabytes goes to RAM heaven.” #credithumanwriters

I’m trying to decide between screaming into a pillow OR eating cookies while writing a new short. NO. You guys are so right! The answer is both.

It was so good!

Amazing news! Savor every second.

I'm at that point in my life that roaming the moors in a flowing white gown, hair down, holding an antique lantern just to scare the shit out of people is looking like a viable choice.

Like many modern humans searching for greater serenity, I have 3 meditation apps on my phone that nag me....
RELAX. CALM DOWN. BREATHE. TAKE THIS CLASS TO CHILL OUT. DID YOU DO IT WELL, DID YOU HOW 'BOUT NOW...
at least 4 times a day. Strangely, it's not helping.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. It never feels like enough time.

That sounds lovely. I’m lying on the floor after going 10 rounds with the Christmas tree…I was KO’d by the 3rd string of lights. Upside, I smell like a car air freshener.

My brain is starting to think some of the people I meet in real life are AI.

YES! (high-5s ficus) Let’s do this! We’re gonna finish the detailed outline and edit the upcoming pitch and write 5 holiday cards and…WAIT are my bookshelves messy?
..…4 hours later….
GODDAMNIT, KELLY. 🤦‍♀️ #scriptsky

Barista: Why do you look confused?

Me: I’m a writer. This is just my face. #scriptsky
