I’ve had a few followers inquire about my process #writing in 5 acts. Which I’ll talk about it in this thread. By the way, this is my process for outlining and I’m not suggesting you should be doing this or that my way is better than your way, or the only way. 1/
I definitely believe there are more efficient ways and ways of thinking that are better to getting scripts finished which is priority 1 IMO. But there are people who have long processes and if you enjoy exploring through the writing and it’s more of hobby then go for it. 2/

I'm tweeting about pitching a lot, but that's just where I am in my creative cycle. Today went really well, but it's not a done deal; here's why: the Exec I pitched has partners. He has to sell them, on what I sold him. This is why your pitch must be communicable by others.
His partners know me, they are also Exec Producers on my upcoming series, but it's too difficult to get them all in the same room at the same time, so I reached out to one and met him on his terms. That was today even though it's my daughter's birthday and I'm still in a sling.

A #wrac18 lesson in pitching for screenwriters using a labored baseball analogy:
A thread lol
There's a closer named Fernando Rodney who is talented but not perfect and he wears his hat slightly askew:
And it has irked folks in the baseball world for years. Does he disrespect the game? Is he trying to fool batters into seeing his head turned to the plate early, eg a kind of deception? And I've been at games where opposing fans scream at him to "fix" his hat.
