We're all in this together like hostages

And the hostage negotiator is Pennywise

@rytingwithcats.bsky.social and I were looking at this writing contest that promises "Book-to-Film Consideration with [an] Acclaimed Movie Producer." The producer is real, but there are some things writers need to know about Hollywood. A 🧵

💯 this. One of the biggest lies in Hollywood is that it runs on talent.

New episode of the podcast I’m producing with these two goofballs 🙌 “Comparison is the thief of joy” and other tips on healthy hating to keep your draft on track 😎😂

Seriously they are so much fun, give it a listen!

Thank you! 😊

Congratulations!! 🥳

Congratulations!!! 🥳

TY for this honor! 🥰🤩

PWS began while I struggled with my own demons—art imitating life more than I realized at the time.

I'm proud of this first page, and can't wait to share the rest!

There's a reason we have our amazing producer @rytingwithcats.bsky.social to save us from podcast infamy -- Meagan's outline currently contains a reference to Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in the context of query personalization. #badlitfriends is bad, but we're not (huge) sadists.

“Her breath was holding her hostage, and once the ransom was paid, it dumped her on the side of the road to be reunited with her loved ones.” Am I doing it right?

Same! Now to find the nearest downspout store 🤔

Susie Dent @susie_dent l love the old markers of time. To go with 'fortnight' (fourteen nights), English once had the lovely 'sennight' (seven nights) for a week, too. 'Yestreen' meant 'last evening, 'ere-yesterday' was the day before yesterday, and 'overmorrow' the day after tomorrow.

The English language took “kill your darlings” too literally in the earlier drafts. These are so pretty 😭 bring back 😭

SAME 🤦‍♀️😂 New project loves all my ideas, while old project nags me to stop leaving dirty dishes everywhere 🙃

Desire to finish the old project is no match for the urge to start the next one

Lucy Huber @clhubes Men writing women characters: She was beautiful but didn't know it. She was 5'7 and 101 pounds. Her feet were size 3. Her hat size was Infant. She'd never thrown up, even once. Her periods lasted 45 minutes. Her top was see-through.

These never get old 😂 🤣

C.G. Drews @PaperFury "you're not like the other girls," the boy said. "oh actually most of us are like this," the girl said comfortably as she shifted back to her true dragon form and ate him.

Ah yes, good times 😇

Yessss not seeing it is always a little speed bump for my poor brain 😂

Okay, who do I need to surround? 🙋‍♀️

Stop remembering my cringies! 😭

A raccoon gazes thoughtfully at a rainbow. “There is no trash can't There is only trash CAN!”

When you feel like your writing is bad, just remember the wisdom of the cuddly bandit creature 🙏 🦝 🌈

Keep writing!

I would also like to add ✨ fashionable ✨ to this list 🥴

Oh wow yeah I bet! Now you can breathe easier 🥹 English is a living language, right? It grows and changes, and grammar rules have to keep up with the chaos. Thank goodness we don’t have to speak in MLA 😂

That, I agree with 😃

Exactly! You know what’s up. What, are they going “to go boldly”? That sounds ridiculous 😌

🤔 The AI looks like it had a long day, poor thing!
