...the semi-retired writer/co-creator of some of the most successful TV/Movies of the 90s is passing my first stage play over to a prominent LA theater-dude. Good stuff! So... Why am I not feeling jazzed up and hopeful for the future? Oh. Right. I remember, now... Nazis.

My 3 year old daughter just yelled "Have fun storming the castle!" as I was leaving, and I could not be more proud.

Struggling to break into screenwriting? This completely real article, which was 100% written by the extremely real "Claire" (who is completely not generated by AI, no sir) will give you the step by step.

My five year old wrote a song and I played the uke and we recorded it, so if you needed a pick-you-up today, this is it...

If you've reached adulthood and haven't learned to arrange for the last bites of milk AND cereal to coincide, it's time to re-prioritize your life.

@roadmapwriters Thanks! Twas a strange one... was trying to write a short to direct (one location, 3 actors) and it insisted on being an 82 page, maybe-a-play *thing*. Still one location, 3 actors, though - so might still go for it, a la DOGVILLE.

If you make the mistake of being my friend and then the SECOND mistake of telling me your Instergramm handle, I will meme you so hard your eyes will roll. I'm talking top shelf, so funny you pee yourself memes, every second of every day until you vomit. You're welcome.

#FirstPageFriday from THE BALANCE. LOGLINE: A freshly murdered Black man comes to in the afterlife with the redneck White Guy who killed him - only to be informed they've got just twenty minutes to figure their shit out if they want to avoid an eternity of psychological torment.

Showed THE STRAIGHT STORY to my kid when he was like 6. This evening he asked to go see THE BRUTALIST with me. These facts are not unrelated. Which is to say, there are reasons my 17 yr old is primarily interested in watching compelling, slow dramas. David Lynch is one of them.

Me to my 5 yr old, at lunch today: Don't go over there right now. My 5 yr old (screaming from two feet away): I'M GETTING SOME FUCKING WATER! Me: Can you think of a kinder way to say that? My 5 yr old (lowering & softening his voice): I'm getting some fucking water. #comedy
