Screenwriter and author. Never tell me the odds.

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

If you write faster than me, the quality of your writing is suspect. And also, you're a terrible human being.

@JeffreyJamesOng Nice, thanks for the recs!

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@SPMJM Wow, that's a legit short film. Didn't realize it was by Apple until the end, but then it all made sense. Quality filmmaking!

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@SPMJM I mean, how many commercials are rewatching?? This one's worth it.

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@SPMJM Holy shit. That's one of the best commercials I've ever seen.

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@GizelleMoney Just FYI there is a typo in your pitch ("knowning") in case you want to fix it real quick. Best of luck with your project!

@GareRick I'm a big JC Chandor fan regardless. Look forward to seeing what else he does in the future!

@MathiasSandalwo That show was so dark, but still really enjoyed it. Prosthetics were phenomenal.

@tschrack "Yes! A thousand times yes!"

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@jakethornton Nice! If you ever want to trade notes, holler!

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@SPMJM VERY careful. Wish I wasn't speaking from experience.

@victoriastrauss @jennie_goloboy Thanks for sharing. I've reported several fake accounts, but the "good" people running this site did not remove any of them.

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@pmarandawrites Oh, now I follow. I totally agree with you. I've actually always thought the same, even if I'm primarily a sci-fi writer.

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@pmarandawrites I'm guessing I agree with you but still confused, can you ELI5?

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@pmarandawrites Wait, the ISS has been manned since 2000, so I'm confused, but interested in your point nonetheless. A little help?

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@SDR_Writer Thanks, there aren't that many agents open to my genre and I've tried virtually all of them so I'm probably past the point of a consultant. But my project began as a tv pilot that had a studio attached, so still hoping to somehow cross over. Just gotta hang in there!

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@SDR_Writer Okay, I can see the promise of an agent in the mix possibly requesting. But those 10 requests are already a great sign no matter how you look at it. Especially for a SFF MS, as mine is a 90K contemporary fantasy so not all that dissimilar. Just gotta trust the process I guess!

[Matt O'Reilly @WrittenbyMattO]

@jgsarantinos It definitely hit mine. Just a powerful story.
