New goal just dropped: get invited to the AFF Writers Conference as a speaker/panelist

I'm staring down the barrel of my 40s and coping by purchasing a pair of dinosaur-print overalls. I lived my thirties almost exclusively in leggings and t-shirts, and it's time I wear something I actually think is fun!! I am going into my 40s giving Peak Quirky Millennial!

Learned to weave today, because obviously what I need is one more hobby

Listen, OBVIOUSLY I'm excited to hang with other screenwriters next week, and I always come away from AFF feeling so creatively inspired but also I cannot wait to eat my weight in breakfast tacos

Why write the play that's been simmering in the back of your mind for at least a year when you could spend that energy applying for programs and fellowships that will help you (and sometimes even PAY YOU) to write that play instead??

Being chronically ill is crazy because what do you mean I just spent the first two and a half hours of my day breathing into bags every 15 minutes so they can check my guts

I’m taking a medical test tomorrow that requires a strict diet today: Eggs, potatoes, rice, beef, pork, chicken, tofu only. Salt and pepper only. Water, black tea, black coffee only. It’s only 11:30am and I’m already annoyed lmao

You don’t really want to teach high school. Like, you know that deep down, right? Just study theater ✨

Two fun pages from my Originals Bureau script AFFORDABLE CARE LOGLINE: When a 26-year-old single woman finds a brain tumor right after being booted from her parents’ health insurance, she must find someone to marry - and fast - in order to get on their plan and afford surgery.

What an incredible collection of work! You can even catch TWO of my feature scripts on the Originals Bureau list - my road trip comedy BIG SKY COUNTRY, as well as my brand new romantic dramedy AFFORDABLE CARE. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

It's the day of my fundraiser show for two incredible breast cancer organizations providing direct support for breast cancer patients and survivors. Even if you aren't in Chicago to come to the show, you can still donate and support! eventbrite.com/e/breast-in-s…

Tonight my friends celebrated their wedding at a retro bowling alley with immaculate vibes and a puppet served us ice cream bars It was flawless I love my friends and I love living in Chicago

Pretty wild to watch a movie in a theater and the name of a guy you cold queried and who is currently reading your screenplay flashes across the screen

What love language is it when you go to bed and realized your husband set out your weighted blanket for you without being asked because it’s Cold Weather Times 💜

I desperately want to write a Catholic horror movie but Midnight Mass is like, RIGHT THERE, you know? (No plot ideas yet, just vibes, we’ll get there someday)

I’ve never had to mute a tweet before but my iron deficiency post was starting to drive me insane

This got wayyyy more attention than I expected, what is happening??
