Visited Cali for the first time in over a year. Gorged on burritos. England does NOT DO BURRITOS.

YES! My fave track on the album!

Ah! Thank you so much for reading!! And thank you for recognizing how hard it is. All the craft of the storytelling took sooooooo much time to get right. So definitely give yourself grace and time as you find your voice on that page! Thank you again for such lovely words.

They're parodying themselves. Ugh, I'd laugh if it didn't make everything even more dangerous.

Real talk. Busy is the cure for idle hands. Been struggling with the balance of staying open to original ideas that excite me and the industry mandates my reps are pushing me toward. I think the answer is to write whatever makes me want to keep writing.

Currently in the purgatory of waiting for attachment reads from directors for my pilot! It's my first time in the game as a creator, and the process of writing a pilot that producers and studio like took over a year! How'd you navigate the endless notes, hurry up wait process earlier in your career?

The Last of Us series rocks for several reasons, chief among them the writing. Mazin puts on a clinic in how to write action lines. He's not directing on the page, and he's not just describing what happens. The FEELING and INTENTION of each action take center stage and make it propulsive!

My 3yo is the same! Like why are you like this?

Watched Paddington for the first time. Incredible, clearly. But the best part is that everyday Londoners don't initially avoid him at the station because he's a talking bear. It's because he's a HOMELESS IMMIGRANT! And the movie totally goes in on this theme! Teach the children, bear!

But what chaos has resulted in 82 unheard voicemails?? Things are not okay!

Yes! I only caught the first season, but they kept a foot on the gas for sure! Set the stage for how to break the mold of the typical spy story!

"Cigar-butt of a suit" lol awesome. Strong work!

Villanelle's intro in the Killing Eve pilot has been in my head for years.
Shows us exactly who she is in a way that's surprising to us, but a normal Tuesday for her. We're ready to watch her do or be anything.
Plus if I'm an actor, I'm salivating. The writing promises so much playtime! #scriptsky

So (news flash): I'm Black. As is my 3yo daughter. And she just told us that a girl at preschool said she didn't like her hair because of how it was curly.

And, man.

I know the painful realization that the world doesn't love us is a Black rite of passage but...

I just hoped she'd have more time.

Walking has become my sole workout! Nature and fresh air are so much better for my brain than...the other stuff.

Like, I bought a mission impossible level face mask so no one would ever know it was me. Cost me three months rent. My mama's sick and has dementia. My family got to eat.

And I would've gotten away with it. If it wasn't for those snooping kids and the speech impediment dog.

100% Love seeing solid craft at work!

Also a really good intentional choice! Lestat is a mystery to both Louis and the reader for about 30 min. Just his hair, then his eyes. But we meet Lestat when Louis meets him, and that scene tells us all we need to know.

MY GOD. The Interview With The Vampire pilot.
The heavy lifting that script does to build a world, mythology, character, plot engine while cracking along with dialogue that tells the story with both the words said and unsaid? Masterclass.
And this Louis character intro? Beautiful.

It just dawned on me that Obama was singing Not Like Us along with the rest of the world this summer but on his year end list he put a far less passionately inflammatory, beef-adjacent Kendrick track, and that move alone is everything that's wrong with the Democratic party.

Thank you @mishellbaker.bsky.social for this urgent reminder. I definitely needed it. My rage has been so insistent.

Use your moments to live, laugh and create. Not by accident, but with intention.

Great advice I just heard: 2 rules for crafting the elusive "shocking" ending to a pilot/series/film:

Make it inevitable. Make it surprising.

Inevitable from a character choice standpoint+surprising in context and execution=satisfying.

Think of the endings you loved. This tracks! #scriptsky

"Drink the tears of the mediocre majority" has a perennial place on my vision board.

You got me here wondering what that shady tank engine represents anatomically.

Rewatching Across the Spiderverse, and marveling at the storytelling choices and efficiency. On the page? It's even more efficient.

In these four descriptive lines, the ENTIRETY of Gwen's universe aesthetic is summed up for the first and only time. Awesome.

Nothing like that feeling!! Huge congrats!

This is a tremendous story.

Opti-swole? Ohhh... POSITIVITELY swole. It was staring me in the face the whole time. I'm totally a writer btw.

Omg this is why I fear putting on a wearable! I research them for work now, and all I can think about is: I'm pretty sure my body has been in a baseline state of panic for 15 years and I really don't want to see that on a daily graph.

Just saw Inside Out 2 and I'm sorry what do you mean Parent Island is tiny and decrepit young lady when you got hot food, running water, free cell phone, no polio cuz of my health care, Santa Claus, tolerance of your gross fluids and odors, girl I brought you in this world I'll take you out--
