If there is anyone more elated than me right now, we should meet and share a couple of drinks—because that can only mean we both just got something we never thought we could! Yes! I just won @gothamwriters screenwriting scholarship and it still feels like a dream!☺️❤️

“I tell people, Make a list of ten things you hate and tear them down in a short story or poem. Make a list of ten things you love and celebrate them. When I wrote ‘Fahrenheit 451’ I hated book burners and I loved libraries. So there you are” —Ray Bradbury buff.ly/3KFbIxh

Welcome to January. It’s cold, there’s snow on the ground and you’re bombarded with messages about being a better person in 2025. You have our permission to screw that, go gently into the month, write and journal and sip many, many cups of tea.
