@DmanUnt2014 why do you need to say anything. She doesn’t need to the warning. Nor does anyone need to be corrected. Just keep yourself mouth shut and let the chip fall as the will then observe.

@RealBillDuke @amazon Bill, after all these years, you are still one of my all-time favs. You showed me how to rewrite a script. Thanks for your genius input.

Intention is to Action what Subtext is to Dialogue. There is always something ELSE going on when we ‘see’ it or ‘hear’ it on the page. #writing

I’m heartbroken by these recent tragedies of gun violence, and I just keep thinking about all the leaders who won’t take a stand to save lives and yet line up to pass bills that make it harder for us to vote.

Amy Goodman: "Everything about this is so unusual, is so astounding."

After helping win a $9.5b pollution judgement against Chevron, my passport was confiscated and a private Chevron law firm detained me at home without trial.

”If Joe Biden called you and said he could wave a presidential magic wand, what you tell him to do?”

- Nothing. Because that would be undemocratic and democracy is the most precious thing we have.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

It is utterly embarrassing that “pay people enough to live” is a stance that’s even up for debate.

Override the parliamentarian and raise the wage. McD’s workers in Denmark are paid $22/hr + 6 wks paid vacation. $15/hr is a deep compromise - a big one, considering the phase in.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

As long as a dead tree is more valuable to us than a living tree and as long as the destruction of nature is worth more than nature itself we won’t be able to solve the climate and ecological emergency.

"I want you to use my words against me."

Senators: if you don't hold yourself to your own standards, then we will hold you accountable.

[Scott Myers @GoIntoTheStory]

Scene description is more like poetry than prose. Active verbs. Vivid descriptors. Think of it as ‘imagematic' writing. #screenwriting
