If your TV show or movie has a character say, “keep your phone on and charged,” but earlier you had a character find a bunch of cell phones hidden long-term in a hidden wall compartment they could turn on and they’re charged, you broke your world.
Either phones need charge or they don’t. 
I found myself doom scrolling on youtube. So I stopped, put on Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and started working on a new #screenplay.
If you can't name the first woman to fly solo around the world, this post is for you:
Found another old box of archived papers full of my attempt to write the #screenplay "Three-Eight Charlie" between 2002 and about 2009.
Jerrie Mock was the solo pilot, becoming an "Earthrounder" in her 1953 Cessna 180 "Spirit of Columbus".
In this box was a July 1964 copy of Flying Magazine covering her flight.
1,000s of hours (and $$$) later, I never could sell the project to Hollywood.

I just printed out the first 50 pages of my new work-in-progress #screenplay.
