If there is anyone more elated than me right now, we should meet and share a couple of drinks—because that can only mean we both just got something we never thought we could!

Yes! I just won @gothamwriters screenwriting scholarship and it still feels like a dream!☺️❤️

Yesterday it was still January and I drove home
and the roads were wet and the fields were wet
and a palette knife

had spread a slab of dark blue forestry across the hill.

Welcome to January. It’s cold, there’s snow on the ground and you’re bombarded with messages about being a better person in 2025. You have our permission to screw that, go gently into the month, write and journal and sip many, many cups of tea.
