Thanks to Lollapalooza it just took me an hour and a half to get home from work instead of the usual ~40 minutes by train. Decompressing with a late night snack. Gluten-free biscuits, spicy honey, and cheap red wine.
Happy (roughly) 11th birthday to my sweet, neurotic girl! I don’t know what I would do without her.
#FirstPageFriday - page 1 of my new work in progress feature, THE SHOW MUST GO ON! Logline below:
Heyyyyy Los Angeles screenwriter friends, the algorithm will probably eat this before anyone can see it in time but I’m at Idle Hour! Come say hi, I’m in the front room!
A man just came up next to me at the airport bar, ordered a glass of beer, and chugged it in about 15 seconds before heading on his way. I wish him the best Anyway here’s my traditional overpriced mimosa before a flight lol
First haircut since December plus color refresh has me feeling very “Mulder, it’s me”
In one week, I’ll be in Los Angeles for the staged reading of my play RED DEVIL at The Road Theatre Company in North Hollywood? Wanna attend and say hi? Tickets here (mine is the July 13th show only!): ci.ovationtix.com/35065/produc...
Los Angeles friends - I’m so excited for my play to be brought to life by The Road Theatre Company in just a few short weeks! And I’ll be there!!! Would love to see any of you who can make it
Big big BIG rejection today Still, feels kind of good to have big big BIG companies reading my work
She’s usually upset with me by this point of a tech process but somehow she’s still greeting me with a wagging tail even after my long days away from her!
My job is so weird because what do you MEAN this is an email I got today (We are talking about pumpkin-colored fabric but damn it was funny to read that sentence out of context)
My play RED DEVIL got its first Recommendation on New Play Exchange and I’m literally crying 😭
Tech week girl dinner at 11:30pm (That is a block of cheese not straight butter i swear)
Bringing my best “fun boss” energy to this new-work-musical tech week 🫠
I am so beyond thrilled to announce that my ten minute play LITTLE KASIA MEETS THE GOD OF DEATH has been acquired by Tiny Scripted for distribution!!
Screaming crying throwing up that this man is now a TONY AWARD WINNER OMG
A few years ago a friend introduced me to the “Whatever Gimlet”, which is 1.5oz any liquor, 1oz any citrus, and 0.5oz any sweet liqueur or syrup Anyway, it’s time to name that cocktail: Tequila, lemon juice, and peach schnapps (Or is this just a classic “Whatever Gimlet”?)

It’s the morning after I devoured this slice of gluten free pizza at 11pm, and I’m still thinking about it! Growing up in NJ, I spent a lot of childhood visits eating pizza at NYC slice shops. When I had to go gluten-free I assumed I’d never get that nostalgic experience again. I’m so happy!
Just saw a young woman, late teens/early 20s, wearing the EXACT SAME chunky Mary Janes with a cat face on them that I wore literally every day between the ages of 16-19 The mid-to-late 00s truly are back in style and it’s weird to see them again!
Daily tarot pull about my writing career. The Eight of Wands is the card of forward motion and momentum. Here’s hoping 🤞
I love working in entertainment because what do you MEAN I may know Ann Dowd
