Every week I discover something new and amazing about this platform. Just discovered the option of making everyone here an Affiliate, which means you make actual cold hard cash every time someone joins on your recommendation. This 20% applies not only to their monthly membership, but to any classes they take as well. Membership is currently at $5, but certainly will not stay at that low price. It's just there while we build. And speaking of building, it's very important that we build membership here considerably. That's going to massively increase the resources I can bring in, in terms of equipment and software I need to create classes and such on my end, but also, the bigger a community, the more support and the Bigger, Better, Badder Guests who will be willing to come in and share their insider knowledge and wisdom with us. Check out this video I'm attaching to explain how it works. Or just go under the Member tab and click Invite to get a link to send to your friends. And I urge you to create TikToks, FB and Insta post and share wherever you see fit. It will help us all! Thanks for helping me build this amazing place. Now who's in?! Also, if you do post on socials, drop your link below so we can help blow it up!

Good people — I’m grateful for how this community has grown. The Hot Seats show every week how committed you are, and I love diving into the work with you. A lot of you have DM’d about private coaching. I love doing it — especially that moment when a writer’s eyes light up because they suddenly see their script in a new way after weeks (or months) of feeling stuck. The spark comes back, the idea feels alive again, and all the hard work they’ve poured in finally has a path forward. Maybe you know these feelings: - You were excited about your idea, but now you’re stuck and can’t see your way forward. - You want consistency, but procrastination keeps winning. - You’ve gotten notes that feel generic or contradictory. - You know something’s off, but you can’t pinpoint what. - You’re rewriting for the third (or fifth) time and wondering if the story even works. That’s where I come in. My time is limited, and to keep showing up here while staying on top of my own projects, I need a clear structure for the deeper story and script work many of you have asked for. So here are two ways to book me directly: 1️⃣ Monthly Upgrade — $297/month One private 1-on-1 session each month — designed to give you absolute clarity on your next steps and weekly accountability for the work you have in progress. If you’ve watched the Hot Seats, you know my process: I dive into the emotional engine, expose the blind spots, and uncover the version of your script that’s hiding just under the surface. It’s the same diagnostic work I’ve done for studios on Shrek 2, Rugrats, Disenchanted, and countless rewrites. We do that together, live. Real collaboration. Real breakthroughs. Real movement. This is for you if you want someone in your corner who won’t let you quit on yourself — someone who sees what you can’t see yet and helps you build the momentum to finish. 2️⃣ One-Time Session — $349 Same intensity and depth as the monthly sessions. We break open the real issues holding your script back — character, relationships, emotional logic, structure — and map out the exact next steps to move your story forward.

I have some flexibility in my schedule this week. If anyone's interested in jumping on a story zoom to get clarity and what to work on or direction, let me know below w your availability Pacific Time. If we can get a group of 6 or so together, I'll work to make it happen!

I'm so glad to see this community coming together. I just want to make sure I'm creating resources that actually help. My journey as a writer has taken me through every stage of doubt/second-guessing and wild eyed confidence that flows each and every one of us! So I want to hear what vibes with you! What would be most helpful: - Getting the patient on the table -- finishing that messy first draft - Rewrites -- diagnosing what's broken and how to fix it - Character work -- my Emotional Authorship method (Wound→Lie→Healing) - Pitching & loglines -- grabbing attention without sounding desperate - Procrastination -- working with your brain instead of against it - Consistency over perfection -- showing up matters more than being brilliant. Stop beating yourself up. - Confidence -- facing the blank page when you feel like "who am I kidding?" - The business -- I can bring in my former agent and TV writers who taught at USC/AFI - Writing together -- body doubling sessions. Cams on, 30 minutes, no talking. Just write. - Using AI as a thinking partner -- I've built a GPT based on my coaching that helps you ask better questions about your story. Not to write it for you, but to show you new ways to think about it. Rave reviews from those who have tried it. You can find The Primal Forge GPT here, along with reviews. - Courses -- like The Full Journey (idea to finished script), Character Deep Dive, Rewrite Rescue, others? Drop a comment. What's keeping you up at night? What would actually move the needle for you? Let's make this place what you need it to be. Oh, and don't forget Story Hot Seat Monday at 10 a.m. PST where you bring whatever you're working on and get clear direction on how to move ahead. And we've got a Script Hot Seat with Vanlyfe by @Elliot Evans on Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. You can pick up that script here.

It's that time! Drop your goals for the week below. But... instead of setting huge goals, let's focus on setting small goals we can actually feel comfortable in committing to. Too often our enthusiasm gets the best of us. Write 4 hours every day is a damn fine goal... if you're Stephen King. But we are all about building consistency here. You're much much better off learning to write 30 min a day consistently, than 4 hours in a frenzy that quickly dies out. So, let's try setting goals 2 ways: 1. The big goal the voice in your head blurts out 2. What's the smallest realistic goal you can actually commit to and begin genuinely building a consistent practice based on.
