What’s blocking you? Let’s fix it.
Drop a quick check-in below using this format:
  1. Project: (feature, pilot, short, series)
2. Blocker: choose one — Clarity (logline/goal unclear) - Structure (beats/act break) - Scene (stakes/dialogue/entry/exit) - Character (want/need/arc) - Momentum (time/focus/motivation) - Tech (Final Draft/formatting) - One sentence about the problem
3. Tiny next step (10–15 min) Speed un-blockers (pick one):
  • Start the scene late, leave early.
  • Raise the cost or choice at the end of the scene.
  • Ask: “What does my character want here, and what’s in the way?”
  • Swap exposition for action (show it)
  • Outline just 4 beats: Open → Midpoint → Climax → Final Image.
  • Do a messy pass—pretty comes later.
If you want targeted help, add "[HELP]" and specify the type (e.g., logline, beat, scene, motivation). Let’s get you moving again.
