My 2nd and last comment about this election. In 2017, lots of women in Kansas were working every day to protect the Affordable Care Act. (Some were wealthy—I went to their fancy houses for meetings. 🤣) They organized rallies, protests, town halls... #Election2022

Small Town Romance - the fantasy of a big emotional support network. (The secret sauce in Hallmark movies, though when I worked at Hallmark Channel I NEVER heard anyone say this.) Your BFF wants you to be happy. So does your mom. So do ALL YOUR NEIGHBORS! #CountdownToChristmas

⭐ HOW TO PITCH A STORY ⭐
Hey, brilliant writers! I shared this in a couple of virtual events last week. This is how I pitch a story to producers, and you can use it to pitch to agents or editors, too. #WritingCommunity#screenwriting#MondayMotivation#WritersofTwitter
