I have a little list in my notes app called, "Everything Good." Whenever something makes me smile or reminds me why life is worth living, I jot it down. When I feel low, I go back, read that list, go through the memories, and live to enjoy another day.

"Why do they go downstairs to investigate the noise?" "Why don't they know they'll fall in love if they fake date for her ex-boyfriend's wedding?" "Why doesn't he know his best friend is the secret bad guy?" Characters don't know what genre of movie they're in, hope this helps

Some of my biggest flops have been the things I am most proud of. Commercial and critical success is great! But we have to root for ourselves even when no one is clapping, too.

(You would not be a football player character you would be a guy who used to be the child star of a beloved 90's sitcom, asked to come back to do a guest appearance on the reboot's Christmas special - and oops, you fall in love again with your childhood sweetheart/co-star)

anyway for no reason I'm thinking about that time a production company asked me to change the heroine of my pilot from a wheelchair user and I replied with a copy-paste of their own organization's DEI leader talking about how committed they were to highlighting disabled voices

It is always good to bully companies, and it is especially good to bully companies that don't value disabled people

I love that Hallmark is doing these historical films, I love that they're telling these wonderful stories from so many different perspectives, and I love that they're getting experts like @VanessaRiley to make these films really shine! Watch tonight, everyone!

Give my brilliant friend a job! An excellent writer and an even better person. You want them on your team!
Help! I’ve done multiple interviews for a number of jobs (including one where I did two interviews and two writing assessments), but keep falling short of ultimately being selected.
