I've really cut down on my script reading compared to last year so I'm putting it out there that I'm opening myself up for reads!
Preference for folks who I've never read a full script. But you know there's some of you I can't turn down...
Lemme know!

Screenwriting Gurus: Don't put a specific song in your script. You'll never be able to guarantee you can get the rights.
Me: Totally. Got it. Makes sense.

Last day of vacation and I didn't get nearly as much writing done as I wanted.
However, I did plan the entire script out in my head without writing any of it down so that's basically the same thing, right?

Sure I love job hunting in a time of terrible employment numbers, but you know what I love more?
Being completely ghosted by employers I was in the middle of interviewing with.

Even though it's somewhat of a departure from the more genre heavy stuff I write, this new WIP has me really excited. Simple premise that will really test how well I can execute a true dark comedy like this.
