November Write Club Week 1: Solo vs. Collaborative Writing - You Are Never Alone
As an extroverted introvert and a natural producer, I find I hate writing. Don’t take that the wrong way - when I’m in a groove, I actually adore the craft. Unfortunately, more often than not, in order to find that writing pace, I also have to be entirely alone. Well, me, my laptop, a good soundtrack, and a cuddly kitty on my lap. Perhaps a cup of tea and a blanket. See? Who sees the light of day when writing solo is so inviting?! My most productive writing sessions, however, have always been...

The Secret To Writing Incredible Fiction
If you’re a writer—whether you’re a writer of books, short stories, poetry, screenplays, or stage plays—you’ve likely gotten in your head a time or two about your writing. I can’t tell you how many times a story sat in my head for days, weeks, months—or even years sometimes—simply because I couldn’t get it to come out on the page as genius as it was in my head. There’s this ridiculous idea we have as writers that our genius is supposed to naturally share itself on the page as if it were li...

Stage 32 Has Been My Most Significant Guiding Force
In 2021 I woke up one Saturday morning and decided to turn the memoir I was writing into a TV series. I’d never tried screenwriting before and had no idea where the inspiration came from – but was determined to make it happen. “How To Write A Screenplay” I started Googling, “How to write a screenplay.” I found a few free online courses, read a few scripts, and dove right in. Within a few days I had completed my first TV Pilot – however awfully written it may have been! “Now What?” The next...
How To Set An Intention & Achieve Your Entertainment Goals
Very early in my career as a storyteller, I adapted a few practices that relate back to lessons I learned from my yoga practice. This came about because I had a break-down/break-through moment during my second year in art school. The result of creating several projects with less-than-desirable results was devastating. I felt miserable. I put my whole self into every aspect of the work, and when it failed, I felt internally as if I had failed. Hence, began my search for something that would not f...
