I'm a writer. Most of my success has come from short stories and novellas, but I'm focusing primarily on screenplays these days. My stuff tends towards the eccentric, with a definite indie film vibe.

Dual wielding accounts while seeing how things go in here. You can also find me @[email protected]

Moving my screenwriting profile over to @[email protected] for the time being.
@mynette The mind boggling thing is that I can’t even see how this would be a revenue generator for them. They’d what? Sell commercial style time in their Max business to their CNN business? And all it accomplishes is pissing off subscribers? Is there some bullshit tax advantage being played here?
@Originalname37 In fairness, I hear he did balance a beach ball on his nose for a couple seconds at a frat party back on the day.
@scottblaszak I think now we have greed holding the line. Not even the most craven wannabe god-emperor wishes to preside over a barren hellscape. That’s why during the 2016 primary, the only candidate I worried about more than TFG was Cruz. If Trump’s finger was hovering over The Button a little voice would worry about plummeting property values. Cruz’s voice would tell him it was time to bring the world to Jesus.

As we enter into the wind down for screenwriting.space (Thanks again to @xleo for taking a crack at the thankless burden of administering an instance), I figured I'd let anyone who was curious know where else to find me in the Fedi.

Specifcally, my OG mastodon account is at @EMStoveken social.chinwag.org a tight well run instance out of Australia.

If you're interested, here an invite link to the instance:

Some sad news:

This instance will cease operations on November 18. The costs are increasing and in my current situation I can’t really justify carrying the costs.

I wanna give y’all a fair chance to find another instance. This is why I will keep it running for 3 more months.

There are some great instances out there, two of them (which I think are worthy replacements for this place) are https://writing.exchange/about and https://bbq.snoot.com/about, and I’m sure there are others as well.

@xleo Thank you for putting in the time and resources. Those were heady times in the weeks after the first Twitter exodus and you took the big swing. I guess I’ll be using my chinwag account more moving forward.
Wise words from one our last great sages.
@davidbragg Cafe writing really is the best.
@Tristananthony I just saw them this past Saturday (at least Andrew and his current band). Solid show.
