A quick #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread on WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. This is some of the most ubiquitous writing advice but also widely misunderstood. WWYK doesn’t mean only write about the exact things you’ve done. Then there would be no stories about time travel or aliens or dogs playing football. 🧵1

Hollywood To Homeless: One Horror Screenwriter’s Nightmare
Urgh. Working on screenplay. I have a fountain document with # headers, = synopsis paragraphs, properly formatted script elements (not a complete script yet). Loaded them all into Highland Pro (best choice I see for working on Mac and iOS/iPadOS) and can't see the Navigator view that Highland promises.
I'm on their Discord, asking, but no good response yet. At worst, I'll have to cut/paste stuff into a new document, maybe. Fortunately there's not that much of it yet.
What a weird movie.
A string of deaths leads a pair of detectives on a hunt all over town. Their only clue? All the victims used the same drugged lip balm.

A vampire story I've been thinking about for six months is coming to life as a screenplay. Not that I expect to make a movie, but I needed a kick in the pants to get something written and this is at least fun.
A newly-turned vampire must save her sister and herself from a corporate overlord intent on using them both to achieve immortality.

A Master of Musical Romances: The Screenwriting Career of Dorothy Kingsley – Dr. Rosanne Welch, Script Magazine, February 2026
In honor of Valentine’s Day it’s time to celebrate a female screenwriter who managed to take bubble-gum parts for actresses and give them more gumption, gravitas, and giggles inside the light musical genre films she was assigned.
Born in New York City in 1909, Dorothy Kingsley could be called a nepo-baby as her mother Alma Hanlon became a silent film star a few years later. Hanlon acted for 4 years from 19150-1919. By then she had left her husband Walter J. Kingsley (press agent to Florenz Ziegfeld), married again and moved young Dorothy to Michigan.
Eventually, Kingsley found her way back into the industry but this time by moving herself and her 3 children to Los Angeles where radio was king. There she met Constance Bennett who like her mother had been a big silent film star in the 1920s but now hosted a radio show. Bennett began buying Kingsley’s jokes for her monologues which lead to a place on the writing staff of the The Edgar Bergen Show.
