Off to bed. For those stopping up to watch the #Oscars in full here’s a fun game for you: count how many winners thank the screenwriters for their work on the script without which none of them would have had the work that helped secure the award.
Enjoy!

This needs engraving on a wall large enough to be seen in space.

Slightly embarrassing… but this is page one of the first script I ever wrote.
No computer back then — I wrote everything by hand and later typed it up.
Total Scream rip-off.
Post the first page of your first script. If you dare. 👇

If I had to pick three films that started my journey into screenwriting they would be
Scream
The Last Boy Scout
Baz Luhrman’s Romeo + Juliet
What were yours?

One of my favourite ways to beat writer’s block:
Open a great screenplay and type it out word for word.
You start thinking like the writer because you’re literally writing the same choices they made.

Page one of my script STICK UP.
Writers — what should page one do for you?

Hey there! I'm mostly thrillers, sometimes lurching towards drama.
You'll find a bunch of screenwriters on the #scriptsky and #scriptskyuk tags/feeds (they pick up anything with the tag), and I think #filmsky is also busy.
I've added you to my Screenwriters list too, which is also a feed.
Thank the creative gods we have @writersguildgb.bsky.social standing up for screenwriters, playwrights and wider industry against the legitimate dangers of AI sweeping away our rights.

“The court ruled that a work must have a *human creator* in order to qualify for copyright.”
Every writer, musician and artist right now… No shit, Sherlock!
We cross live as they solemnly contemplate this ruling…
#ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Music #Art
Sickening. This is a betrayal of every screenwriter, playwright, poet and novelist in the UK. We’ve had copyright laws since around 1710 and they intend to upend all of that to help feed billionaire tech companies. 😡

Quick Shot: DERMAL PIERCINGS
You know you can’t have any metal when you use an MRI, otherwise they become dangerous projectiles…
Those dermal piercings will literally need to be cut out of your character’s skin with a scalpel.
So many plot possibilities

Didn’t know you from ‘The Bad Place’ (sadly), but thrilled we found one another on here. Likewise other great screenwriting folk. A great community. #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky

On this lovely MSWL day, felt like a good time to remind authors (and agents!) that I am weirdly passionate about improving the medical accuracy in your writing projects.
Seriously, free, no charge.
Thanks for trusting me with your books, podcasts, ands scripts

Energy to do things like grow, heal, or throw a car through a building has to come from somewhere, and using that energy releases heat.
Some fun thoughts about the consequences of your worldbuilding to spice up your writing.

Damnit, I said I wouldn’t do it again, but now I’m doing it again.

Just had a look on the feed - and whilst I'm seeing the post about the recent opportunity, I'm not seeing other more recent #scriptskyuk
Looks to me like the feed isn't refreshing - just tagging you in David in case you wanted to take a look at the settings on it?

I found my #scriptskyuk had re-set to "top" posts. When I selected "latest", your post popped right up...
Is anyone seeing this post on #scriptskyuk ? My feed for that hashtag doesn’t seem to be refreshing any more (hasn’t since early January). Anyone else have that issue?

Writers (and everyone, really),
The most important thing your characters can do to a wound is place DIRECT PRESSURE. For a large arm/leg wound, a tourniquet can be lifesaving.
Dont just throw rags on it. You need to STOP the bleed, not just MOP it.
#writing #scriptsky #gamedev #scriptskyuk
Healthy reminder: it’s entirely possible to make original films. Everything doesn’t have to be a remake. Arguably you cannot better *some* original films. There are plenty of screenwriters out there writing cracking original material.

Quick Shot: “PROBABLY”
Don’t make your characters sound dumb. Instead of confidently declaring something only God can know to be true, just insert the word “probably”
“You [probably] have a few broken ribs and a concussion”

Not only is Rowan a genuinely lovely person; we met in person last week and arranging to meet again soon, she’s also a very talented author.
Whether you’re a screenwriter or fellow novelist, I highly recommend following her.

This article may be of interest to screenwriters and novelists who, like me, refuse to go down the generative AI route. Ditto playwright and poets. #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky #WritingCommunity
