As a genre fan, the cold-war era pilot Red State intrigues me, as well as Last Laugh, a reality show where users can control inmates’ bodies. Cat vs Doug sounds like it could be bonkers! You can also find mine and @jamie-nash.bsky.social pilot Oz Noir, a hardboiled retelling of The Wizard of Oz.

I asked. The publisher was confused. He thought it should be available. But admitted that India can be complicated.

Awesomeness! thanks for sharing the love. (if you get a chance, reviews are always HUGE -- but thanks for already being so generous)

Just finished listening to Save the Cat Writes Horror by Jamie Nash. Yeah, homie did his big one with this. This book is such a gem. I highly recommend both the audio and the print.

I think if you can get it under 100... there's some goodwill by the reader. But a hard limit of 120 for sure.

There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve.

If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel.

Just. Keep. Writing.

Just found out and bought Save the Cat Writes Horror by Jamie Nash in audio. The universe does want me to be a better writer.

Third time (the deep dive, application and sense making phase) into β€œSave the Cat Writes Horror”.

I clearly need 3 more highlights for everything to click into place.

@jamie-nash.bsky.social and I are childhood friends now β€” in my head.

Publishing costs:

* You writing your manuscript - $6,000
* $8.50 production cost (paperback) per book
(includes shipping)
* $.68 per book marketing $3,400 per 5k books
* $3,000 pre-production (edits, cover, formatting)

It's all math.

I still haven't sunk my teeth into Save The Cat! Writes Horror, but the TV one is the best book about writing ongoing series that I've found!
