Screenwriters - if your logline is pulled from a historical event or public domain, would that make you feel any more comfortable about posting your logline? More importantly, is the person who steals your logline instead of working on their own idea a better writer than you?

Screenwriters - what are you building between Aug 15th and Sept 29th? If it’s anything other than your social media presence - like a script, a short film, a festival run, etc - should you take a social media break? I’m taking a social media break 8/15-9/29

Screenwriting Twitter - I’ll be taking a Twitter break from 8/15-9/29. I’m working on that thing we talked about - which some of you used and thank you for the feedback! Also working on three other projects that need my attention. If you need me during that time, email me.

This is absolutely the case for getting better at screenwriting. Keep showing up and keep pounding the basics: Are your characters interesting? Is the plot logical? Do the character’s choices evoke emotion from the audience? Great. Finish it and do it again.

Making pancakes for the family only takes about 3 tracks from Zeppelin IV. Worthwhile endeavor.

Parents - our children have found us out. They’ve informed me that they know we only do “boring stuff” to annoy our kids. The jig is up!

Directors - if you want your crew to trust you know what you’re doing, coming to set having done your homework. Few things impress the crew as much as a director with storyboards. There is an end in sight for the work day every time you X out a board. Always a good thing

Tested the back tweak recovery with a ladder up to 1 set of 225lbs for 5 reps on my squats. Should be back to attempting 3x5 for 230 on Friday! I’m chasing you guys and you know who you are.

I look for feedback as a reader. Not how you’d rewrite it in your style. Not nitpicking grammar. Not questioning word choice. Was it engaging? Did you enjoy it? Did it keep you up all night? Is your wife mad because you were reading it instead of mowing the lawn?

Lifted heavy while emotionally drained and tweaked my back. Instead of missing today’s session and rescheduling for tomorrow or skipping altogether, I’ve now set myself back at least two weeks.

Any outstanding kid performances you've seen recently? Ideally a boy who can play 12-14. Someone you saw on an episode of a show or movie that just knocked it out of the park. And don't say the kid from the penguin or the kid from bring her back, I'm well aware and they're…

Screenwriting Twitter: After tonight’s table read, I am more convinced than ever - Live table reads with a criticism Q&A at the end are the strongest way to improve your script. Show me something with better leverage for improving your script than that.
