Coffee Friday at 12:30 Pacific time — Let's talk about what we're building here and what you're working on
Grab a cup and jump in. I want to hear what you're building, what's moving, and where you're stuck. I'll share what's coming next for the Forge, answer questions, and help you get traction on whatever you're writing. Quick, casual, useful. See you at 12:30.

Let’s hear it man!
Plans for December — And a Possible Skool Challenge
I know it's been quiet this week, but there's a lot moving in the background and I'd love your input. I'm lining up guest writers to come in, talk shop, and answer your questions — including Phil Stark, screenwriter-turned-therapist and author of How to Be a Screenwriter. He wrote Dude, Where's My Car? and spent years on That 70s Show, so he'll have plenty to share. I want to start having guest writers and agents and such in regularly. How's Phil sound as one to kick it off? Also I dig deeper into how to run this community well, I've been exploring the Skool "Challenge" feature — and I think we might have something here. A December Challenge built around pages, word count, or scene output could be a great way to get momentum. But only if it's supportive, collaborative, and genuinely fun — not another source of pressure. We all put enough weight on ourselves already. So before I build anything, I want your take on this: Would a December writing challenge help you? If yes, what would make it feel motivating instead of stressful? Drop your thoughts below. I want to hear from you — and I want to shape this with you, not at you.

@David Hinnebusch Yes, treatments are aboslutely something we need to talk about. That's such a foundational skill, one that took me YEARS to get thru my head I needed to do. Now I feel it's damn near the most important part of my process.
While networking I met a person...
So I met a person that has a team of 200 people, my team is fewer. They are 'writer' based: creating an addon the enriches the story element of ESO MMORPG video game. Now...my good friend and writer of my current 10 month project script is a great writer. I plan to use her screenplay. I also am debating having it 'adapted' for movie production. That's delicate. Business and pleasure mixing is hard.

Love how absolutely engaged you are in actually putting together your project and not just talking the talk, but walking the walk. Great work. You'll figure out the script thing as it goes along. That's just part of your job as creator and producer.
