Look at Them Trying

Amanda and Miranda (yes, we know). Screenwriters, video creators, music appreciators. We believe in equal opportunity adventures and trying whatever you like without worrying what the neighbors will say.

Shy → nervous → anxious.

I think my Pokémon evolutions are doing it wrong.

Having one of those days where it feels like everyone else is making great life strides and the most exciting thing to happen to me today was buying wine. So I’m changing that by editing one of our scripts so before I go to sleep I can say that the most exciting thing I did today was write for Batman.

ALSO

Amanda and I just did our first read through of our Batman series pilot and found it HIGHLY!!! ENJOYABLE!!! For all you fellow creatives out there, you know how big a deal it is to feel pleased with your own work, so we are allowing ourselves full reveling privileges right now!

New collaboration!

We’re excited to share that we are teaming up with Connecticut based production company, Blind River Studios! I (Miranda) worked with this team on a film a few years ago (Mint On Card) and am ecstatic to be joining them again for more creative adventures. You can find them here: Facebook I Website I Twitter I Instagram

Creativity can be scary. No matter how many things I make, I’m haunted by these ghosts.

This comic appears in The Shape of Ideas: An Illustrated Exploration of Creativity. You can buy it online or wherever books are sold!

I hope you heard this in Kermit’s voice, just like I did.

When you're starting off as a young writer, you look at all the stuff that's gone before and the stuff that's influenced you, and you reach the ladle of your imagination into this bubbling stew pot of all of this stuff, and you pour it out. And that's where you start from.

Made the mistake of taking a long drive and listening to playlists inspired by my favorite TV shows, and now have a complete cast, general plot and playlist for a new crime dramedy WIP, instead of a completed first draft for our Death WIP.

I just tried to spell “edge” with a ‘j’, how’s your writing going?

[lookatthemtrying]

I didn’t know there were so many wrong ways to spell “corral” until the last five minutes.

[daphneblakess]

it really is just Guillermo del Toro and his determination to keep practical effects alive against the world huh

You can always start again. Clean out your social media. Create a new account for your new taste in music. Study or work in a new city. Start socialising with new people. Choose a new signature scent and style and purge the outdated parts of yourself. If you don’t like where you’re at, but you don’t know what to do about it - try starting again.
