People told me not to write a trilogy- you’ll never get 1 made, never mind 3. Well. With feedback like this. I have my marching orders! #scriptsky

So this happened! @networkisa.bsky.social #scriptsky

#firstpagefriday #scriptsky posting page 1 of Monitor:Crush Depth as I await news on 2 fronts. Its official option agreement AND the attachment of a director with feature film and NETFLIX original episode credits! I share because if I were superstitious I would be paralyzed with fear.

Laurels pending. But - Holy Moly! The Third Time I Met the Devil is a TOP TEN finalist in the Table Read My Screenplay L.A. edition. #scriptsky congrats to all who placed. To My fellow finalist - good luck the rest of the way.

Pretty cool upgrades for my feature scripts today. "The Third Time I Met the Devil" and "Are You OK?" won Gold Awards. "Shadows of the Storm," chapter 1 of the "Shadows Trilogy," won the Silver Award. #scriptsky

#scriptsky Some feedback from my latest fantasy installment. I have known these characters for over 20 years. Nobody knows them as I do. It was so much fun expanding their world and giving them new WORLD-SAVING stakes. "Shadows of the First Dream"

#scriptsky #scriptchat So as a wrapped a draft of my latest feature. It is a part 3 of a trilogy I have created a new problem for myself. I have to pitch 3 features…

Just a few more wins. #scriptchat #scriptsky

#scriptsky #firstpagefriday Congrats to all the semifinalist and second-rounders in Austin Film Fest. Welcome to the family! Here is page one of my second rounder from last year. Which seeded a feature being prepped for next year’s event.

I forgot the dang hash tag. #scriptsky

@networkisa.bsky.social has announced its Fast Track Fall 2026 Second Rounders. The Third Time I Met the Devil is on the list with about 258 other fantastic scripts! Congrats to my fellow writers. Good luck the rest of the way. @aggiebrett.bsky.social Pretty sure I saw Three Wise Men on the list.

Know what’s important? Knowing that sometimes the notes don’t apply AT all. I had feedback read by a peer reader. “About 70% of this coverage is taste and dogma masquerading as craft, while the remaining 30% hits on legitimate screenwriting mechanics.” #scriptsky

@juliapearlstein.bsky.social Congrats on your Finalist selection in the Page Awards! Andy & Me is a fantastic script! #scriptsky

“It only adds up. If you add it up.” -Gary Gulman #scriptsky

“The Third Time I Met the Devil” is going to need packaging to reach its ceiling. But its ceiling is where dreams come true! #scriptsky

#scriptsky Reader feedback from one of my favorite contests. Pretty much what I was going for, NGL. "The Third Time I Met the Devil"

Some annoying updates coming this weekend from me. 7 different feature scripts… I’ll wait until final placements to bore you with the details… #scriptsky.

#firstpagefriday #scriptsky celebrating a significant category win “Award of Excellence for African American Theme” in The Accolades Film Awards Competition “The Third Time I Met the Devil” will have a cultural impact.

Humbled to share “The Third Time I Met the Devil” is a 2x Award of Excellence winner. Writer/Script and African American Theme. When this movie is made it will be taught in the music rooms around the world! #scriptsky

#scriptsky what could go wrong? This heist movie writes itself.

#scriptsky #wipwednesday (work in progress) Trying something new for us to share. I wrote a scene that gave me “A Few Good Men” vibes. And I’m digging it. Will cut about 30% because some of it is dramatized earlier. “The Dream and the Weavers”. Based on last years AFF Second Rounder short.

Just here, working on improving my stories. Fixing an issue with my "Are You Ok..." when I got some Development Reader details on my rewrite of "A Century of Rain". Had to stop and share it. #scriptsky

#scriptsky Attention! Attention! Check your inboxes for AFF notifications. Second Rounders - TV pilots are up first. Some folks have shared their laurels! Shorts will be over the next week. Then all hell breaks loose! Congrats to all who submitted. (Full disclosure I have a drama feature submitted)

#firstpagefriday #scriptsky recent update for -The Devil’s Cut- i have trimmed 18 pages over the last month. Trying to solve a Act 3 compression problem before sending a draft for prod co approval.

@juliapearlstein.bsky.social Congrats on Andy and Me selection to the Page Awards Semi-Finalist Historical Film Genre category. This is a fantastic story. #scriptsky

Two of my favorite scripts have been selected as Finalists for Best Unproduced Feature Narrative Screenplay at the 9th Annual Mystic Film Festival. Honored the readers/judges have selected my work a second year in a row. #scriptsky

A good day in the Lotterverse! Proud to share the first laurels for The Third Time I Met the Devil. Coverage from an independent 3rd party. #scriptsky

At a game tonight. But thought I’d share these from this week. Winning. #scriptchat

#firstpagefriday #scriptsky Between rewrites of my summer features I wrote a 3 page short. “Lunch Hour” inspired by a true story.

Third page of my latest WIP. #thirdpagethursday. “The Third Time I Met the Devil”. A bunch of contest announcements headed our way tomorrow. So enjoy it before its success goes to my head #scriptsky

Can use some happy thoughts: I have engaged with a prod co backed by a major studio to co-write a limited series. First meeting went great. Writing sample was an exact match. Additional materials were shared between parties. Decision before 8/20. #scriptsky

Very excited to share “Are You Ok?” Has been awarded an Award of Excellence for Script/Writer. Thank you to the judges and selection committee for this honor. #scriptsky

#funpagefriday this is one of my favorite scenes in “The Third Time I Met the Devil”. All subtext. 3 people who don’t say what they are thinking. #scriptsky

Buried in an email saying Semi’s will be announced on the 10th was a link to the QFs. 4255 projects. 477 QFs. Age of Aquarius is moving on! Attached feedback from the contest reader. #scriptsky congrats to @juliapearlstein.bsky.social and others! Tag yourself and be seen! This is not a small thing.

Got a full script request from one of those fancy named agencies. :-) Think happy thoughts that the reader is having a great day! #scriptsky

Had to share this feedback from a reader "A genuinely rare thing, a blues biopic that earns its mythology through ferocious prose, a Devil for the ages, and the conviction to let its hero be complicit in his own destruction; Eric Lotter writes like he's been to the crossroads himself." #scriptsky

#scriptsky after some back and forth woth the dev team and bloated 130 page draft. I have gotten it back to 108 comfortable pages. And a new #firstpagefriday same vibe but the horror comes faster! “The Devil’s Cut”

#scriptsky No one panic. Just sit down for this - I got a full script request for my latest script. Director/producer with a decent investor group behind her. I’m gonna wait a full 26 minutes before I hit send to make it look like I did not have it ready to go. Teased with excerpt from coverage.
