Thank you!

Thank you! I’ll tell her. 💕

Kiddo is done with art school! She’s not walking for graduation on Saturday, but we’re celebrating in our own way.

TBF, it’s smooth, and there’s the most perfect lens flare on the mic.

But all of that is in the original pic, too.

Considering I said in the post what camera I used, plus I posted it with 18 other pics, you’d think they’d figure out it’s legit. 🫤

Mark & I made it back to LA!

Our last trip out here was February 2020.

Just heard someone say, “That’s deep-dish awesome.”

Dropping that into my permanent lexicon.

Congratulations on your new superpower!

This COVID outbreak is no joke, gang. Lots of folks turning up positive. Time to

* Get that new Vax if you can

* Stock up on masks

* Stock up on COVID tests - they are selling out

* Make a battle plan to take care of yourself if you need to quarantine

* Avoid larger events if you are vulnerable

In Austin TX celebrating the 20th anniversary of MASTERS OF HORROR at the 20th anniversary of Fantastic Fest! With Joe Dante, Don Coscarelli, Ernest Dickerson and Fangoria editor Phil Nobile, Jr.!

I’ve had that scam in Venmo.

I never deposited the $$, and I contacted Venmo immediately.

It all resolved after a day or two.

Came here to ask about the handshake.

My husband, Mark, once drove the kiddo & me to a paint-and-sip. She painted, I drank the wine, and he drove us home.

Kiddo’s now in her last semester of art school, so it all worked out.

Amazing!

Got it. Thank you!!!

That’s insane, and I love that for you. Over how many days?

They really were! Had great meetings there, plus more set through the rest of the year.

I’ve heard good things about most of those. Frankenstein & Hamnet especially. How many films did you see?

We’re Industry, so we spent most of TIFF in meetings & mixers. We saw one film this year, which is one more than we saw last year. 🫠

Only managed to rush Honey Bunch because we had to extend our trip.

How about you? What’s your favorite from the fest?

We just got back from TIFF! It’s my favorite film festival.

My #LastFourWatched.

Good luck with it! When it’s happened to us, we just ordered more flatware. Now we have ALL THE SPOONS!

::evil laugh::

I think I saw them in that box with the dinglehoppers. Or maybe with the Halloween decorations.

At the Bavarian Bierhaus for lunch with @markliterally.bsky.social.

We’ve been here before. They’ve had music before. But not like this.

I tried opening a Word doc, and I was prompted for the umpteenth time this week to install the Portuguese (Brazil) language pack.

Since it’s a recurring issue, I decided to install it. How long could installing one language take?

Almost ten minutes later, my download screen still looks like this:

Honestly, you can do pretty much whatever you want in screenwriting if it's with intention.

Format, structure, tone. Whatever.

But the clarity of that intent is key. If you lose that, you lose the reader.

No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow"
