forgot to announce my small win of last month - my first tv pilot was a QTR finalist in @screencrafting’s True Story competition! 🎥 https://t.co/YvatPA0h0h
Motherfckr started in my notes app. Three years ago. When I was pregnant with my first. It's where I collected everything I couldn't quite make sense of yet. Lines that popped into my head. Half-finished essays. Questions. Observations. Tiny moments I was afraid I'd forget.
Mostly I am here to share that after birthing two human babies, I decided it was time to finally birth my substack baby. https://t.co/TFZeXdbXiF
(a lil late to the game, I know)
Step 5: Minimum Dose
The key to finding a better relationship to work is not to find your passion. It's to create space in your life. Things like freelancing can work but more reliable is a 3-month sabbatical
Find 3 months in the 500 you are "supposed to work"
My friend at Origin, a female-first physical therapy startup, is looking for freelance #writers. Preference for women, as Origin’s care is all about the pelvic floor.

In 1972 as part of the protests 3 white women were able to gain access to the Veiled Prophet and one of them lowered herself down from a balcony by a cable and ran on stage to unmask the Veiled Prophet and it was the CEO of Monsanto, that woman's car was later bombed
My bet on Ellie Kemper is that she won’t renounce the VP. The Kemper family’s in too deep. And they have been for generations. They’ll just pass it off as a “charity” organization like they’ve been doing for years.
I love how twitter is just learning about the Veiled Prophet now. I grew up surrounded by it. And I spent all last year researching and writing about it.
My pilot, THE VEIL, is set in the 70s when two women activists sneaked into the VP Ball and UNVEILED this KKK prophet.
@iKaylaReed@hannastasia I wrote a pilot all about the men of the VP and the women who tried to tear their kingdom of supremacy down. It's called THE VEIL. Here's a tease from the pitch deck.
@iKaylaReed@hannastasia The so-called secret list is published on wikipedia. See that list of Queens? The men of the VP are their fathers. The real fun bit is when you match those last names with all the founders and ceos of STL businesses.

If you want the whole list of Queens, it's on Wikipedia: https://t.co/Ys5INUpvYG
And it's not just Ellie Kemper. Look at the other last names -- Busch, Schlafly, Schnuck, they're all the wealthiest families in St. Louis.
@ChrisQRG1917@WB_Baskerville A fancy event put on by our local KKK, of which Ellie Kemper was once the Queen of Love and Beauty https://t.co/6xgwa788Ck
