Yes please! We need to finally meet up!
Hope being vertical half the time is good? lol I'm good. Started a new job this year that I'm loving. So that's good! Turned in a new draft of a romcom to my producer last night. Yay! Working on a new rewrite as we speak.
How are you Rachel? I'm glad I see you on here every so often so I can check on you. :)
I know the past dean to my son's college through a friend, totally randomly. He wanted to send a text udpate on my son giving a speech to his college today. I meant to text, thank you for the update. My phone corrected it to thank you for the nudist. Thankfully I checked before I hit send.
haha if he didn't call him "sir" I would have agreed with you.
Went to Groundlings last night. Great as always! But that's not the post. There was an elderly man in an NBC jacket in the audience and one of the Groundlings peeps came up to him and shook his hand and said "Good to see you sir". Sir! And now I want to know who that was!
Bought my tickets to see Wuthering Heights. Can't wait! Another Emerald Fennell movie, with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.
Just found out 2 writers were working with a huge showrunner on a series, he just backed out because he found out there was a similar series. These writers never wrote him back. That's so unprofessional! He would have helped them with their next project. They blew it. Don't be these guys.

Iβve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays
That's great about the book! Go you!
Happy National Screenwriter Day to all those who celebrate!
Starting off with a new job as a Creative Director. So happy about that! And you?
Yes you can!

Thanks Jane!
Thanks Richard! Now if I can get my novel to that lol
Thanks Rachel!
Got feedback back from my producer on my romcom first draft and it was so amazing! Barely any notes. I'm beyond thrilled and excited. yay!
Just tried to email some business associates, Have wonderful holidays everyone and my phone changed it to, wonderful vodkas and I don't know, maybe that is a better way to say it.
Feature romcom script due Friday to my producer. I will have a draft but I really wanted an extra week so it was more than a vomit draft. Producer said yes, take an extra week. phew! yay! Now I can make this first draft way stronger. So happy!
They are not kidding, give things to the busy person. Went on a two hour hike with dog and friend. Then...worked on freelance...then, read pages for writing group...then, read pages for novel group, now finishing up pages for my paid screenwriting gig. I'm going to hit 90 pages today. woot woot!
Who controls what IP isn't what's at play with this new merger: it's about who gets your attention & dollars. It means fewer shows & fewer movies as not to step on each other's dicks.
1/3 of Hollywood is already out of work from past consolidation. How many more voices will they run out of town?
Yeah that's what I'm going to start doing. Just save constantly!
Yeah hold on as long as you can. Mine never crashed till I upgraded.
I had to get the new Final Draft because I had to buy a new computer. And I had heard the newer FD's crash. And mine just did and didn't save my latest scene. ARGHHHH!!!
Just had a meeting with producer on my short film I wrote and directed and met our new editor. yay! It's been slow-going with the editing. But think we found the right one this time. Excited to see it done! #filmsky #screenwritingsky
