“Hi. I need a lipstick for my mom.”
Ulta: Sure. What color does she like?
“No you misunderstand. The lipstick goes on my face so my mom looks at it and assumes I have my shit together.”
Ulta: Oh honey, I got you. This shade’s called Lady Danger.
“I’LL TAKE IT.”
We're celebrating a little good news. Big thank you to our draft readers aka the Typo Titans and of course, Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival. And thank you, @FilmFreeway for the fun dashboard announcement. :) #screenwriting
@LukeBarnett Just got back from the Stowe Story Labs Retreat in Connemara, Ireland. Came home with a new comedy script and many many photos of sheep. Many photos.
On my flight to London, passengers & crew worked together to SOLVE AN IN-FLIGHT MYSTERY…whose freaking phone was blasting classical music. And not the good kind but that baroque stuff that precedes an attack by a demon-possessed babydoll. I’m full-on Jessica Fletcher now.
I've been moved by the response to our film - the kind words and support has been amazing.
If you haven't yet, you can check it out on #YouTube (link in the QT thread below).
And, as always, RTs/QTs are the primary way we can overcome the algorithm here, so they're appreciated!
GUYS GUYS GUYS. We’re going to Ireland! Prepare for me to be INSUFFERABLE. Ex: saying words like insufferable. You’ve been warned.
Thanks to everyone who read drafts for us and told us to keep going even after the cookies ran out! #screenwriting#scriptchat
every woman writing comedy isn't writing "the next Fleabag" & every woman writing dark comedy/horror isn't "the next Emerald Fennell". The way we speak of female creatives is so tedious & limiting, we are much more than copies. We aren't "the next", we are our own voices

IT FINALLY HAPPENED. I was on a plane when they paged for a doctor. Shout out to the @JetBlue 888 crew and the doctor who stood almost the whole 5hrs caring for the very ill passenger. I hope the passenger, the crew, and the doctor all get a much needed rest.
Hello! It’s a tepid 400°F here in L.A. Dogs are wearing heat-resistant booties. All the coffees are iced. Traffic is extra cranky. Found a shady spot to write pages & prep for our general mtg tomorrow. Please…I beg the gods of 1st look deals…let the cafe be air conditioned!
We took out our clothes dryer to replace it, except the new one isn’t coming until next week and now there’s a deep, dark hole in our wall…so anyway, does anyone want to interview me for a horror movie about a woman who finds a Hell portal behind her clothes dryer?
Re: Hollywood general meetings…
Ask me to snag you a napkin while we’re on line in a coffee shop, I’ll give you napkins PLUS a concise, hilarious rundown of who I am AND what I’m doing today. In a general mtg? I forget my own name for the first 90 seconds. #writerslife
Whenever I’m waiting for big news like a comp announcement, I always have an awesome cookie ready. If I don't win….I still get a treat! You can tell by my face that I fully expected to just eat my consolation cookie. 😳 But we won!
