I got notes back today (which is great, yay! notes) but got one of the most typical notes writing lead female characters. The "The main character is unlikable" note. đ
Guess what? Women don't owe anyone their likeability in life or in scripts.

The best part about being a screenwriter is filming, acting, editing, and designing graphics to convince someone to maybe read a word you wrote.

Imagine Screenwriting Twitter Drama for other careers:
Architects: FUCK BLUEPRINTS. I just build what I want and you're gonna live in it.
Doctors: Did you just stitch the patient's organs up with red surgical thread??? REMOVE IT AT ONCE YOU FUCKING NEWB.

I became a reader for AFF this year because I wanted to help change the narrativeâ and help more people get notes they could actually use. Iâm still so bummed how many people are getting frustrating and unhelpful notes. Iâm so sorry.

Just a reminder, Shia LaBeouf bought at least 50 sets of notes from WeScreenplay for one script before it placed in their contest. Take that information as you will for todayâs Twitter discussion. Source:

Starting out as a screenwriter, I was always afraid if I wrote a queer and poly story it would be too out there for contest readers. But news like this warms my heart that at least a few readers at AFF were more than ready to jump into this story. Thank you!

Have you ever have someone refuse to read/finish your script? What was their justification. I had one guy refuse to read because I didn't write "Fade In" and another because I used the C-word on page 2. đ€Ł

One time I had a development exec tell me they couldnât find any female writers to hire for a project so they chose âthe next best thingâ which was a gay man to write it and to this day it still rings like nails on chalkboard in my head.

I woke up to the Screenwriting drama and y'all go too hard for Monday. All parties involved said their piece and they know their truths, so I have nothing to add. But I feel there's one thing that needs acknowledgement: this is a small community and everyone talks. 1/

People keep liking this from last month, but know we were dropped ASAP, then my manager left to develop his app and his business partner was arrested for murder. There are ebbs and flows to this biz that have nothing to do with you or your talent. Donât be hard on yourself. Ok?

If you all want to use an ellipses, please use 3 dots.
2 makes you look like your period has a period. Like you are driving in a car with the emergency brake on.

Serious and hopefully honest question. How much do you spend on screenwriting notes/classes/pitch events/contests a year? If you donât want to give a number, a ballpark number is fine. Like 0 dollars or how ever much money Shia Labouf spends.

When I get script notes, especially from a stranger, I highlight which ones are personal taste or a formatting "gotcha" they feel they have over me. If it winds up being more than 50% of the notes, I pretty much toss all but the typos found.

Repped writers, how did you find your manager and/or agent? What wisdom can you share with the unrepped? Would love to see a thread here of all the myriad ways it happens.đ

What qualifies as writing âon spec?â Yes, it means writing âwithout payment currently offeredâ but, letâs say you are solicited by a producer to write a script with no payment unless it is green lit. Is it a spec? And would you own that script if the deal fell through?
