Right??

Oh, that's a fun way to think about things.

Yeah, I just got on Jeff's list and was hoping to attend the Zoom yesterday, but something came up at the last minute.

I mean, always happy to hear more tips on how people do TV ideas in general, but specifically curious about procedurals at the moment. It's something I've never really done and would like to get one in my portfolio. More episodic series ideas come to me easier. #scriptchat #scriptsky

Congrats!

Asked this earlier in the week, but thought it might be a good mini-topic for #scriptchat, if anyone has thoughts. #scriptsky

My current WIP is truly up there, I think. Took me way out of my comfort zone in terms of genre and subject matter. And I think it's makeable.

Otherwise, always Unicorn Included: t.co/K9AXsvv7sV #scriptchat #scriptsky

Weirdly, i don't usually have a problem with that, but I definitely am seeing it tonight. Not even seeing my own post in the list. :P #scriptchat #scriptsky

Been dealing with a bit of a rough week. The skylight in my condo is leaking. Hasn't been too bad til now, but it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so bracing myself. It's being inspected Monday, so just gotta hold through the weekend.

Oh, second month in a row I just stumbled onto this randomly checking Bluesky.

Wins? well, I'm between drafts on my horror/thriller (awaiting notes and/or a pat on the back). Also applied to a writing program this week. #scriptsky #scriptchat

General TV writing Q: How do you come up with ideas for new procedurals? It's on my to-do list to get a new one of those into my portfolio, but I don't even know where to begin. #scriptsky

Which contest? Script Pipeline. Will probably do AFF too, gotta check when their early deadline is.

I'm assuming you can guess the script, but Just Like You.

Submitted to a couple things today, a screenwriting contest (I know, I know) and the CFC writers' lab (up in Toronto). really hoping my new script is as good as I think it is. 😅 #scriptsky

My Best Friend's House - SNL YouTube video by Saturday Night Live

I know I'm like a year behind on this and it'll be old news to a lot of people, but just stumbled onto "My Best Friend's House" from SNL tonight, and kinda love it.

youtu.be/zejK1XHIDcI?...

Trying to fill out an application due on... *checks calendar*... Thursday at 3pm! And I'm still playing my little procrastination games until the last minute. 😅

Ah, checks out.

Is there an issue/controversy with Substack? I might've missed something.

Haha, just read that Single White Female is getting a remake with Jenna Ortega. So, that will become "modern" again at some point.

Realizing that Ma may also be something for me to check out. #scriptsky

Ooh, some great picks here. Thanks.

Does anyone have ideas for comps for more modern "killer woman" psychological thrillers? In the vein of Misery, Single White Female, Fatal Attraction... #scriptsky

What a week for my writing. Worked hard to blast through another new draft of my current WIP, which I’ve sent off to several folks who wanted it. Had a promising general meeting. Went to a cute VDay themed networking event tonight. It’s been a productive week. #scriptsky

Yep!

@createdbyrcw.bsky.social @mizmulligan.bsky.social @theselloff.bsky.social I’m replacing the impossible-to-get and on the nose Disney song cue with this: youtu.be/3V_7-7myPxM?...

Feels like a great end credits song too.

TFW a random song shows up in your YouTube playlist and you realize it's the perfect song cue you've been looking for for your script. #scriptsky

Someone needs to explain jestergooning. I refuse to google it.

Very cool!

Ok, I'm closing this tab to focus on writing. Thanks for the fun chat, folks! #Scriptsky #ScriptChat

Oh, actually, here's a mini-topic: How do you write a one-pager?

I asked this separately on my feed today and got a few interesting answers, but figure their might be different opinions here. #scriptchat

Agreed. An actual mystery with clues and a whodunnit, I don't think I could do justice to. Maybe I'll try someday. #scriptchat

Cool, thanks! Actually, I hadn't been following this blog. #Scriptsky #ScriptChat

Touching up my latest feature, a disability-focused horror/thriller/dark rom-com.

No idea on topics (honestly, just wandered in here by chance 😅). #scriptchat
