If you only knew how many terrible scripts were being pitched out there, you would stop holding yourself back! #writingtips


I am begging you to please stop writing what everyone is wearing into your scripts. This is a story not a fashion show. It's not the shorthand for character you think it is. #writingtips

The only way to improve as a writer is to find the people in your life who will give you the brutally honest feedback you need.


The first step in every writer’s journey is watching something terrible and saying “I could do better than that!”


It’s a brand new month, now’s a great time to set your writing goals! I’ve got a pitch deck I want to finish by Friday, and a first draft I’m revising that I want to go out before the end of the month. What’s yours?


Maybe instead of being on Twitter right now, you should be working on that script that could change your life!


You don’t get the writing career you WANT, you get the career you WORK FOR!


Character descriptions should describe their INSIDE not their OUTSIDE. Tell me who she is as a person, not what she’s wearing! #writingadvice


Don’t be afraid to get rid of things that aren’t working in your first draft. I routinely cut 25-50%(!) of my first draft. That B-story that didn’t come together? Lose it. But the character that’s working surprisingly well? Double down! You have to keep a high bar for yourself.


I see a lot of emerging writers scared to send their scripts out because it’s not “ready.” The truth is a script is NEVER “finished,” there will ALWAYS be something you can change. All you can do is put out the best draft you can with the knowledge you have now!
