The people of the Interwebs are a gift. #writers using #googledocs take note. You can turn off all the floating Gemini garbage by following these steps.

Just A Friendly Reminderβ¦.
1. I love this.
2. You just KNOW in the future some scientist with an ego is gonna be like "honey I CAN'T go fully off grid what if I win the Nobel Prize?!??!"

I have zero ability to follow any clear instructions. Well, that's not exactly true. I can follow them. I seem to have a problem reading them before I hit SUBMIT!

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."
The real purpose of affirmative action (or DEI) is to counterbalance these types of informal networks and practices. While not a perfect solution, we need to consider how to balance (and one day) even the playing field.
@mark-carney.bsky.social Not being able to share thoughtful media articles on facebook is not doing anything good for anyone. Please get rid of this. I doubt even big media want this as it lessens traffic to their properties.
Huh, a bunch of people said Just. I should add that one (just in case - hahaha).
Oh i will add that to my checklist.
ps. thanks to @charfisk.bsky.social who gave me a new one - WATCHES (did not realize HOW MANY DAMN TIMES I USED THAT PHRASE!)
Stupid patterns in my writing that I always need to go fix in a polish include the overuse of the following:
- Begins (I mean if I'm writing it they are doing it)
- Starts (same problem)
- Heads (sorta same problem)
- Watches (replace w/ glare, stare, glance etc.)
What's your list?

I SURVIVED READING BANNED BOOKS ALL I GOT WAS SMARTER AND MORE EMPATHETIC

Unsolicited script contest advice: SPECIFICITY.
I keep seeing things like--> NAME X (8β12), NAME Y (20sβ30s).
Think about it:
8 = Bluey
12 = BoJack Horseman.
This isnβt a marketing brief.
KNOW YOUR CHARACTERS.

thanks D :) happy belated bday π
haha exactly.
I'm caught in a tweak-loop.
Anyone else use this as a sophisticated method of procrastination? 'I could move on to my new project but I have to change that one word over here or the sky will fall'.
The #scriptsky of course.
ps. Happy Canada day writers! π¨π¦
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasnβt them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? Theyβve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
I loved a million little pieces. I was disappointed #jamesfrey had lied bc he didnβt need to. But his weird interview of unapologetic vitriol - claiming cancel culture dismay - You lied. Say sorry, be sorry, move on. #writers #fiction #storytelling
I find it so annoying watching
a movie preview to a movie iβve come to the theatre to watch. So I managed to avoid any spoilers only to have it spoiled five minutes before it starts?
Iβm in Toronto - do they do this in your town?
#scriptsky
LOL definitelyβ¦
I'm about one day away from this. Nothing like going in strong to film fest contests.
OMG so true.
I was telling my bf friend how great #Andor is. I explained it its a Star Wars prequel about how the Death Star plans made it to the rebel forces. You know what she said?
"The death star- is that a ship?"
Should I stay friends with her? I'm on the fence.

At what point do you just stop editing and submit? I feel like I'm on revision 455. Each one makes it better (so I guess that's a good thing) but I feel like I'm in an endless loop of never good enough.
Help!

Does anyone else find the @nytimes.com connection bot rude when it doesn't bother to create a description for your guess? What, am i just TOO unique? Can't figure out what my twisted brain was thinking?
Sheesh. Try harder #connectionsbot. I believe in you.

sure rich people do rich people things - but most people i know (even some rich ones) send their kids to the public school system bc itβs excellent.
