Dog whisperer. Dudeist. Dorky writer.

@laurenschwein @KdaManagement Following!

@AudreyOnAir Such a mood

[sami @needatoe]

@KdaManagement Talk to me about action lines. Some scripts read like prose, and others are very succinct in action. Is this just a matter of writers’ style? (I’m a newbie, don’t bite!)

@CindyBegel I’m just flopping around twitter like a fish out of water until I figure out where I fit in

How amazing is it that we get to be writers? #celebrate 🥳 #amwriting #writingcommunity

[sami @needatoe]

Gonna finish this pilot and write 3 episodes this week, so naturally I’m rewriting a totally different WIP rn

@NoahMakesMovies Maybe more character development, then?

[sami @needatoe]

This movie is on the soundtrack to my coming-of-age. The dialogue is chef’s kiss, and Steve-O’s breaks of the 4th wall are perf. Big influence on my style. Plus my little kid crushes on @MatthewLillard & @DevonESawa went from sweet to spicy real quick lol

@TimTolka Thanks, Tim. Did your co-writer have something already prepared to show the author/agent/manager when they reached out? Is it kind of like a pitch? I appreciate you taking the time to help me grow my brain!

[sami @needatoe]

Never has a question made me feel more like a baby #screenwriter, but I can’t find an answer. If I want to adapt, say, a novel into a screenplay… do I just DO it? Is there a legal or cordial process for that? #screenwriting #WritingCommunity

I turned off twitter notifications so I can constantly open and close the app to check for notifications instead of getting work done

I love writing because it combines my two favorite hobbies: sitting and self-doubt.

[sami @needatoe]

Took too long for me to realize that daydreaming about my stories is a legitimate part of the process

[Michelle Domanowski @MDomano428]

Writing doesn't feel easy to me 99% of the time. And I'm slowly realizing that's ok. #screenwriting

[sami @needatoe]

Today marks my 35th trip around the sun. That means I have about 30 years’ worth of unrealized scripts in my noggin. Time to write them into reality

@writerstuggles forgive my idiocy; I can’t figure out how to DM you 😑 tysm for responding to my tweet regarding writers’ doubt. If you want to message me, I’d love to trade reads!

[sami @needatoe]

Wracked by self-doubt now that I’m 15 pages into writing my very first script. Anyone willing to read, just so I know whether or not to keep going? (Read: baby screenwriter seeks validation)

Random question for #screenwriting twitter: do you outline with pen & paper or on a computer doc?

[sami @needatoe]

Soaking in a silent, scalding hot bath for two hours twice a week is vital for my writing process
