Wife smells coffee brewing (we didn’t make any), so naturally she is afraid ghosts are making coffee in our kitchen. #ghostcoffee

@robinhobb Would you accept “should’ve”?

I think my biggest financial problem is I grew up poor asf so now that I make my own money I don’t know how to budget. I’m always gonna spend the extra penny for quality cause I can and I hate the feeling of being limited on what I can do bc of a price tag

Got some cool news today. My timey wimey sci-fi feature script ‘Oracle’ is a Quarter-Finalist in the Emerging Screenwriters Sci-Fi & Fantasy Screenplay Competition! Woot! @NetworkISA

Just got asked out by the man next to me in traffic on the 110 freeway. Is it creepy? Yes. Am I flattered? Hell, yes. I'll reflect more on that once my face returns to a normal temperature.

Love this thread.

Apparently a glutton for punishment. This is how I outline —

First a three pager of just bullet points through end

Second a 5-7 pager with more details

Third a 20 pager from which anyone else could write the script if I were hit by bus.

Layering the work makes it easier.

@parisinla That's no excuse.

Does it bother anyone else that Wordle uses 5 letter words but Wordle itself is 6 letters? Just me?

Screenwriters, I asked the NBC TV Writing Program to clarify the act structure rules for the #fellowship application.

(1) What does the four act structure consist of?

"NBCU creative teams define the half hour comedy four act structure as a Cold Open/Teaser + Three Acts."

@parisinla I drank the Kool-Aid, too. As big as they are, I'm so disappointed in their collaboration tools.

[Holly Holstein @hollyholstein]

Screenwriting Twitter, what's your favorite writing software for collaborating in real-time? If you have an option that I haven't listed, please tell me!
