Seeing people acting surprised & offended when Paul Schrader--a filmmaker whose entire body of work comes out of being an inappropriate weirdo--acts like an inappropriate weirdo on social media, makes me realize that people don't actually want edgy artists, they just say they do.

Just discovered a documentary on Front 242!!!

Love this energy. Sometimes you just love your baby and DGAF what anyone thinks about it. They have their perspective but you have yours. Plus you might have left some of the good parts in your head;)

Smell the roses

Things to cheer me up:
1. My scifi script was called 'stunningly original.'
2. My beta readers loved the new Juni-Q and want a third.
3. My new book cover is rad.
4. (Most importantly) I was told again that I pass for late thirties.

Cover wars!

Just mine. Which one do you like more?

Time to go viral again!

I mean it's time again. Hasn't happened before, but it's time.

Fallout 4 at 60fps with sharper textures is pretty nifty.

Oh he's running for God Emperor I get it now

Jesse Hawken I always say the best sci-fi authors do a lot of drugs and have crank politician opinions and I think that applies to filmmakers too

Screenwriter friends may get a kick out of Juni-Q producing one of my own screenplays and taking the film to festival. And perhaps a giggle at how I treat my alter ego, Gil Dobesh. Screenwriters get no respect!

Even though I understand what it takes to make a film, I still don’t understand how Dr. George Miller does it. I was lucky enough to see ‘Furiosa’ a month ago, and I’m still reeling at how films like his exist. It’s so intricate, detailed, and immersive. The planning and love…

This came out weeks ago. I don't see how this is good for box office.

Ugh, deleting most of the uses of 'very' from my draft. Almost every time it's completely unnecessary and the sentence sounds better without it.

The peak of my TikTok skillz.

I would not call myself a successful author, but it's possible more people have read my novel than all ten of my screenplays combined. Ok, if you count the three table reads, maybe the screenplays win. But novel two is coming next month...
