🔥 Top post “Go where you’re wanted.” Stop trying to convince people who are already looking for the exit. Making a movie is a multi-year marriage. Don’t start it with someone who was lukewarm at the altar. ★ 16
I don’t have a lot going on right now. Should I try this explosive diarrhea trend ★ 5 I run a monthly zoom hang for writers via my newsletter. I've always charged just $8/mo to do it. We dig into craft questions, career questions, manager and agent questions, you name it. If this sounds like something you could use, price … Substack just ranked Hollyweird #6 in Rising Film & TV.

They’re asking: “Is this writer worth my time?” You answer that with voice. … ★ 14 You can stare at a structural problem for days and get nowhere. But take a walk, sleep on it, work on something else… and you’ll suddenly know exactly what to do. The best thing you can do with a script you’re stuck on: Put it down. ★ 5 Most writing paralysis is just your brain in the future instead of the scene in front of you. Who’s here. What do they want. What’s in their way. That’s it. That’s today’s job. New Hollyweird on exactly this -> ★ 2 Hot take: If you're on your third or fourth revision thinking “this is the final draft…” you’re probably wrong. Until the movie’s screening in front of an audience, there is no final draft. You’re going to be tweaking that thing all the … ★ 4 Most of a screenwriting career isn’t writing. It’s convincing people to let you write. Development meetings. Pitch calls. Emails that go unanswered. “We’re a big fan but…” If you’re worried you’re doing it wrong… you aren’t. This is how… ★ 8
