>There was also an assumption that most of the scripts were written by men. “But it’s total rubbish. ½ of all cinematic employees within Hollywood were female and they could do just about anything in the business, including being producers. A quarter of all screenwriters were women – more than now.<

Credit at last for female screenwriter airbrushed from Hollywood historywww.theguardian.com Despite her activism during the golden age of cinema, Mary C McCall Jr was all but forgotten. Now a new book is about to set the record straight

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

Rebooked before we even landed. 🫠

Our flight was severely delayed taking off. If everything goes right, we will have 16 minutes to grab our stuff, get off a plane, run to the right gate, and catch our connecting flight. Fortunately, it’s in the same terminal, so it’s theoretically possible. Will we make it?

Just saw some extremely bad writing advice, so: You're a writer if you're not writing right now. You're a writer if you write 1 short story a year. You're a writer if you take breaks. You're a writer if you're still working on *that* story or poem. There's no *one* way. This isn't Highlander.

When you are on the phone with family and the call just won't end, I am there

I FREAKING FOUND IT! I now have saved the file in the right place so this doesn’t happen again. Now I’m redoing yesterday’s work just to make sure that everything is as it should be. But I found it!

Spent a good 4 hours working on a draft yesterday… only to find out that I had opened the wrong draft. I have a locked PDF of the right draft, but I cannot find the final draft file to save my life. Gonna be a fun day.

Sitting with @markliterally.bsky.social while he sets up for band practice. A baby kingsnake slithered out from who knows where. Cute little guy. The snake was courteously escorted outside. 🐍

I spent the whole day working, reworking, and re-reworking the first 60 pages of this holiday romcom. I’m FINALLY happy with it. Onward!

How it started | How it’s going #screenwriting

What’s your latest win, #scriptsky? After 4 months of being by my dad’s bedside waiting for him to die, he’s now stable & surrounded by caretakers. Before dad moved in, I wrote 6-12 hours per day. For the past 4 months, I barely wrote. Today, I wrote 4 hours. Gonna go do it again. Life is good.

Had a weird dream last night that I was working on a novel entitled “My Jaunty Pirate Adventure”. I even had a jingle for it that I used for all of my socials. 🏴‍☠️

These ladies are on fire! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

*taps mic* is this thing on? cause ya girls @susanlbridges.bsky.social and me just signed another contract to write a thing that is gonna make you scream 🤗🥳🥰

One of our rabbits was determined to die this weekend. Thankfully, she turned it around, and she’s doing great now. Which… seems pretty fitting for Easter.

Hey, allies! 🏳️‍⚧️ For Trans Day of Visibility, you should buy books by trans authors. Buy two copies, one for yourself and one for a trans friend! 📚 You are also obligated to share this post. I don’t make the TDoV rules, I only enforce them. 😘

Spent a good chunk of the day ripping apart a screenplay. Feeling really good about the changes! #scriptsky

Went with @markliterally.bsky.social to see #ImmaculateMovie tonight. Afterwards, the guy next to me put his elbows on his knees, put his face in his hands, and took a long moment for himself. We’re gonna be talking about this movie for a while. #horrorsky 🎥

Anna and I had a wonderful time at our TV premiere of “County Rescue” in Nashville, TN. Proud of everyone’s hard work to make this happen. Reuniting with our cast, crew and wonderful directors was perfect. Premiering on Great American Family, Feb 26, 8PM CST. @annaliterally.bsky.social

Does taking an online class for research on a screenplay count as “writing”? Because that’s how I’m spending #5AMWritersClub. 📽️📺

Austin folk: Anyone out there have a farm house or ranch style house a bit out there (maybe on a few acres of land) that might have it available for some shooting this spring/summer. I've got some indie filmmaker friends looking for a place. Hit me up and I can connect you!

I am the proud father of this little girl who, almost three years ago, told her mother and me that she was going to write a book. It took her about one afternoon to finish it, and me about two years to publish it 🤣 Order it now: www.amazon.com/What-Grey-Fi...

Writing rituals? Absolutely! First, I cast a circle…. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat question 4: Do you have any writing rituals? P.S. Don’t forget the tag!

The GoFundMe I posted this morning has hit the goal. I'll leave it up a bit longer in case anyone's inclined to throw more coins to their Witcher (and I haven't figured out how to shut it off). gofund.me/bf215c00
