From pain to purpose, building characters.🙏🏾💯🔥
I've had my share of pain: 1. A high fall to concrete going up for a slam dunk. 2. Over a decade of fibromyalgia 3. Got hit by an SUV while crossing the street in a crosswalk on foot. 7 years ago. 4. Hospitalized due to Acetylene exposure by a negligent hvac crew, August 2025 5. Found out I have a leaking heart valve, October 2025 (I AM healed by faith). 6. November 2025 - I was told that I need my left heart valve repaired or replaced ASAP through open heart surgery. I'm not one to play a weeping violin when it comes to adversity. No excuses!!! Instead, I'd much rather flip my pain into purpose, and share this adversity through different characters and the forthcoming stories I intend to create through Scriptmatix. I've actually started working on a beat sheet for one scenario that I'll plug into the Scriptmatix plot beat: The Basketball 🏀 injury. As a writer, I'm learning that it's okay to draw more from my own experiences, the same way I would do as an actor preparing for a role. If anyone else would like to use my experiences to develop one of your characters, you're more than welcome to put your own spin on it. Happy writing, and God bless you all. 🙏🏾 Stay inspired! Freddy
