Yeah, I don’t envy those mods (and honestly I’ve avoided that subreddit for a while..).

Aspiring writers’ devotion to imagined rules borders on superstition / religion. Evidence can’t sway them.

It's so satisfying...
Let's get Numbers and Excel in there for old time's sake. This is too important not to do it right.
A great way to procrastinate is to make a spreadsheet of all your drafts, submissions, queries, reads... And then spend more time making it look nice than you've ever spent on an actual script.

Sundance coming to my neck of the woods means that if I apply for the Screenwriting Labs I'll get to feel the rejection even more intensely.

Congrats!
Felt I was losing my mind at the number of logos before Flow.

I’m the opposite. Katakana (much of it) came pretty easily. Hiragana remains mysterious.
Black list evaluation and a couple of hundred muffins.
I don’t, but I’m enjoying the fact that the #scriptsky tag (for screenwriters) also picks up the occasional manuscript chat.
I guess it needed a script doctor instead of a script dismemberer, but I’m not qualified.
Restructuring this script is like there was a person, and the person was kind of okay, but not great, and so I dismembered them, and now I'm trying to put their severed limbs in new positions but they won't stick, and there's blood everywhere.

Wikipedia page is pretty informative.
Sometimes when I'm trying to outline a screenplay I also feel 42,000 years old.
Explicitly mentions camera directions. This violates a screenwriting rule and ensures the script will be thrown out by Hollywood's gatekeepers.

I need one of those text replacement browser extensions so I can change every instance of “Screenwriting Rule” to “Screenwriting Preference That Some People Have”.

When Trump’s finally gone and beyond accountability, we’ll have to face a revolting slew of “If only I could have done more” / “In some ways I blame myself” / “Here’s what lessons we should learn” memoirs from those in power.
Just finished VOICELESS by @cynohead.com and WOW. Definitely one of the better specs I've read in a long while. I can absolutely see why it's a PAGE Gold Prize Winner. David's an incredibly skilled storyteller and I can't wait to see what he does next!
