Promising old writer. Optioned. Final Draft Top 3 Finalist. Various other competition laurels. I write mostly about people who mess with the laws of Nature.

@DannyManus What has been interesting is getting multiple notes on the same script (Sunshine Time Travel) one reader focussed on structure, one went for plausibility and plot holes, the third rewrote my logline and synopsis (yay!)
All massively useful in different ways

[Jon Platt @PlattJon]

@tschrack Ha!
Well done.
Great to see Brunhilde go overboard!

[Jon Platt @PlattJon]

@LisaLueyLutes Ah that explains it, I pretty much only enter free ones these days

[Jon Platt @PlattJon]

@LisaLueyLutes I can’t even remember entering, so a nice surprise
Fingers crossed for the final!

@Stage32 @Stage32Scripts They couldn’t yell because I was from the agency, but there were a lot of eyes rolled…

STINGERZ!
Desperate to be feted as heroes, two nerdy slackers stage a fake invasion of giant hornets and pretend to save their small town.
Their scheme goes brilliantly, only to fall disastrously apart when the hornets turn out to be all too real...

@LisaLueyLutes Happy to read again if that’s useful.

@CoachDanGo Dickens used to walk about ten miles every morning then come home and write
I do the same (but far fewer miles) Don’t know how anyone can write unless they’ve figured it all out before they sit down

@LisaLueyLutes Missed this in the holiday chaos…thanks so much for your support this year. Hopefully 2026 will be a year of breakthroughs for both of us!🤞🏻

@ohhellodan Write another one…

@LisaLueyLutes I think the longest character speech I’ve written across nine features is only 20 lines long, and that was a funeral elegy.

@LisaLueyLutes @thekatyo Thank you

[Jon Platt @PlattJon]

@storyandplot @LisaLueyLutes I’ve waited till I’m retired before going all in. Not needing the money feels like a super power. Clock’s ticking though….

[Jon Platt @PlattJon]

@PhoenixBlackNow @LisaLueyLutes I read it earlier this year…such a great premise!
