Learning to trust the part of myself that tells me not to do headstands when I'm high.
Read the essay that got me rejected from AFI! open.substack.com/pub/carlypan...
no he's still a transphobe
I'm keeping the characters I like, the theme that drew me to it, and now I'm going to push it because I know I can.
I had been working on a pilot that I knew something was wrong about. I thought it was first draft jitters. Today, it finally clicked-- my first draft can be bad, but I, at least, shouldn't be bored by it.
Just wanted to say what a privilege it was to write in the @nycmidnight.bsky.social #screenwritingchallenge this year. I really struggled, but it made me remember what it feels like to challenge myself.
Wahoo! Rooting for you
Oh I'm down for the script swaps if it's not too late-- was at wedding most of yesterday.
First draft done and off to a reader.
Do I hate it? Yes.
Did I learn something? Also yes

Getting my creativity candle going for the @nycmidnight.bsky.social
I can see why Saturday would be on the brain--Congratulations!
Due by Sunday night-- don't scare me like that!
I think I'd be equally stuck on yours!
This might just turn into a Danny Phantom Spec Script
Here we go on round 2. #screenwritingchallenge #nycmidnightswc
Love this contingent of going ahead to round 2!
Spy is the absolute worst!

Results are in! Made it to round 2 of #NYCMidnight #screenwritingchallenge !

Where's the button I push that reminds me I'm a good writer and I should keep going?

Who's Amanda Nguyen?
Thanks for asking these Leah! So much fun.
Pepper. Dirty martinis with three olives. Rugelach.
4. This is so grayscale. Maybe a little bit of blue/green/purple. Very cool.
There's a reason it's set in a Chicago winter.
3. Obviously girl who cheats on her sweet boyfriend.
I want my audience to be curious.
1. I had to stop talking to my sister a few years ago. She was so angry about stuff from our childhood, the ways our parents abandoned us. I want to understand why she can't move forward, and why I'm lucky enough to be able to.
Said I would write two pages, but I wrote 1 1/2 and then finished the act. That counts, right #scriptsky?
