  1. Here's a little short film I wrote, directed and played every part in. Hope you guys like!

  2. Shout-Out to "The Ghastly Love of Johnny X," the worst grosser of 2012 with a cume of $117. It co-stars Creed from The Office. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1754633/?ref_=sr_1

  3. Goddamnit! Walking dead are so played out and I'm STILL gonna write this Horror Zombedy :(

  4. Ever heard this line before in regards to a handgun? "There's twelve in the clip and one in the throat." Raylan said it on Justified, and I've NEVER heard that "throat" reference before, wonder if it comes from Elmore Leonard or a wholly original term from the show writers?

  5. Last day at work before embarking warily on a career as a full-time writer. Tomorrow is, literally, the first day of the rest of my life.

  6. Casting Dennis Leary in 'Draft Day' is genius.

  7. evil dead... blech.

  11. new draft sent to manager! second time's the charm, right?

  12. I got cut off in traffic by a car with the plate KARMA LA.

  13. Two best times when writing a script: planning them out, and polishing them. Everything in the middle sucks.

  14. hmm, I don't know what to read next... any suggestions?

  15. Watched Silver Linings Playbook again. SO GREAT. I wish the choreographer would get some attention, the dance is amazing.

  16. I am speechless. My hard drive on my laptop (where I write) fried today and I lost everything I had been writing for the last 6 months. My heart is crushed. Kids, please for the love of God, go back up your files right now.

      That's terrible. 2nd vote for Dropbox. Free, easy to setup and you'll never lose another file.

  17. After several recommendations to watch A Simple Plan, I got a group together and watched it. 4 of the 5 people HATED it. Said they don't like movies that make you think. This is your audience talking. I liked it though...

  18. I got my first paid writing gig!!! Of course, it's for a novelty company coming up with funny slogans, but hell, it's MONEY and it's for WRITING!

  19. New Year... New Goals... New Projects... How is everyone's writing and creative pursuits going?

  20. Anyone read From New York to Florida? Thoughts?

  21. Has anyone read any good comedies from The Black List yet? I've read several BL scripts, but would like to check out a good comedy next, if anyone has a recommendation.

  22. Been dumped thanks to my girlfriend's mother saying "It's him or us [the parents]." In the space of a few weeks I've gone from "Not right for you." to Worse Than Hitler. Noidea how. What scripts should I read to cheer me up?

  23. SMASH CUT TO.... a lame transition. WTF? A cut is a cut. Who started this "smash cut" nonsense? Curmudgeonly annoyed.

      I will add one caveat: the first 10 pages. I can totally understand this stuff impeding someone from getting into the story in the first place, especially if they have read 1000+ scripts and have an itchy trigger finger.

  24. My thoughts while watching THIS IS 40 with the wife last night: "This is 40 minutes too long..."

  25. SMASH CUT TO.... a lame transition. WTF? A cut is a cut. Who started this "smash cut" nonsense? Curmudgeonly annoyed.

      It likely comes down to a matter of personal taste but IMO if used sparingly all things polarizing (cuts, grammar/spelling, camera directions, asides, etc) should not pull a reader out of the story. If they do the story simply isn’t working for that reader. NOTHING pulls me out of a great story.
