This is the maybe the strangest time I have seen in the biz/ LA and I’d say take nothing people say for the next 6 mos personally and if you have your joy in what you are doing hold onto it tight.

The only way this might make sense to me is if everyone agreed before hand on some super expensive particular ingredients or something you all really wanted to eat or try that was expensive and then everyone pitched in a little, but otherwise, yeah, this is weird.

This is a selfish tweet but on top of everything else, my dog is dying. It feels impossible to not wake up sad at the moment. Anyway, if you knew or loved my dog send her love throughout this week, won’t you?

My biggest advice for moving to LA, is be able to take a full week off to look for a place. I've lived here FOREVER and I somehow blissfully forget that looking for a place is a full time job and pure insanity... I GOT THE PLACE. Highland Park/ Eagle Rock, here I come.

Glad we're all feeling weird! I just cut a new director's reel pinned above that needs a little love. If you follow me anywhere I follow back. I'm also loving adapting a rom com script into a novel. Keepin' at it. Sending love to all the weird artists out there! xo

Hi friends, I am looking for someone who has some sound experience to help run sound on a shoot on 8/28. Paid. Can provide gear. If you have your own, even better. I am also looking for make-up artist recs. Maybe still in school. Kit fee paid.

Hi comedy peeps, just sending my love to you today. The biz + contests etc don't always like to take a risk on comedy as we are not foreign marketable, but comedy is important, comedy is the hardest, and comedy is the ultimate truth. If comedy is your first love, keep going. xo

It's hard to stay pumped up. Sometimes you just have to Tweet success into the internet ether. Something I wrote goes into production on the 20th. Something I'm working on got approved to outline. My passion projects for no money are inching forward. Give yourself props.

I don't write tips very much b/c people seem to freak out about them on here, but this is a tip for my own self when I re-write as well: how often are you saying the same thing? How much could you actually cut? A cut is almost always worth it.

I feel like 60% of us have been living in 4 years of a cult we never signed up for and 40% are psyched because they think this cult party is just getting started and I’m scared and horrified because I don’t even know if these percentages are accurate and I really hate cults.

It is crazy how long us writers sometimes live with projects. The key is falling back in love with them again and again. I am in love and I want them to love me back just as much... more time will tell.

...I'm particularly sad for the good stories that will be overshadowed. Coda is the first Sundance movie to ever win. Indies almost never win Oscars. It also has a predominantly deaf cast. And led by a female filmmaker. Historic all around.

It has been very bizarre going from the center of LA to a very small town and I’ll be back to the city likely before I know it, but tonight one of my postal workers called me on the phone about a missing package. Small towns are sometimes very very sweet.

Pro tip: if you’re asking someone a favor in a pandemic ask them how they’re doing first. At least pretend to care about someone else for one second... maybe be, I don’t know, less American about it. Sigh.
