Our sweet foster pup Gabi went back to her other foster (we were temp fostering her) and I miss her so much already. Anyone in LA looking for THE sweetest 10 year old who will love you and stare into your soul - she’s available through Wags and Walks
If anyone is trying to go to LAX tonight- this is the worst traffic I’ve seen in a long time at the airport
Mine was that all my main characters were too passive and all my side characters had goals and were moving towards them. I started making sure my lead had a clear goal that I could mess with
If it means anything there are a lot of indie producers looking for book rights to try and adapt to film but 80% of the time they are snapped up by mega conglomerates
Perseverance 💪🏼
Writing shed!? Wow!!!
Last night my short play ‘Hello in There’ went up as part of PlaygroundLA’s best of series and as amazing as it was to see my work live alongside 5 others, even more cup filling was having ten friends come out. It really is the community behind you that keeps you up and going. #theatre #community
It’s rough out there and definitely not personal. Lots of musical chairs for execs, managers, and producers too. Hang in there
Now that the panic has worn off a little I can share that when I evacuated from the Sunset fire in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (I live 500m from Runyon canyon) I grabbed all my library books - because in my brain I didn’t want to get in trouble/deal with the fines
My favorite book of the 72 I read in 2024 was…
In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️
Some amazing looking scripts on this list!! Can’t wait to dive in and read them
It was a little slow to start and there’s 3 different POVs which threw me off at first. But ended up loving it

What TV shows are people watching right now? And how many do you have in rotation at once. Me? This is the most random assortment - Silo, Dune Prophecy, s4 of Abbot Elementary, Rivals, Great British Bake-off and… The Floor. Different tones of show depending on vibe. What you got on your roster?
My two biggest complaints about TV scripts from new/emerging writers
One is choreography on the page. You need to know where people are, where they are going, when they enter. You have to tell the reader enough to picture the scene in your head.
This is so depressing I don’t even know what to say
Stunnnnning. Literally a dream
I can’t believe this little rat boy foster of mine hasn’t been snapped up and adopted! Do you live in LA and need a scruffy new family member? #istandwithmypack can help you! Zoomies are definitely included
I loved this movie so much. Maybe need a rewatch this holidays
Submitted 🌲🎅🌲🤶
Submit for this! I did!
After a tricky year of very inconsistent work, my partner has THREE contract gigs for editing work right now. I know we hear the holiday slowdown etc etc, but this plus the flurry of spec script sales has given me… what is this feeling… hope??? ✨✨ #filmsky
Wow! Finally blocked my first account! Wild! Still insanely safer vibes than the other place
💔
I like it!
Wow - judging by my sentence structure skills… probably for the best my nightmare interviewer rejected me. Also she made us go to a coffee shop at the top of a waterfall and then insisted I get a yoghurt bowl while I sweated and panted. Nightmare x 100
I had a nightmare that I was interviewing for a new job, and wasn’t doing a well explaining my experience. Where are the fun flying dreams? The Willy Wonka type shit? Why corporate America gotta take over my unconscious hours too?
