Hey Alive Institute future Flows. 👋 I’ve been thinking… what if we created an original project from absolute scratch—as a true community effort? No solo genius, no pre-written script—just pure collective creativity, votes, and iteration. The entire project built step by step, democratically: 1. Project Title — Suggest names + vote on favorites 2. Logline — One-sentence hook → refine & vote 3. Core Concept / Genre / Tone — World-build together 4. Main Characters — Create, backstory, vote on arcs 5. Plot Outline / Beats — Major turning points decided by poll 6. Full Synopsis — Flesh it out collaboratively 7. Beat Sheet - One scene at a time 8. Screenplay — Scene-by-scene contributions, revisions, votes on key moments/dialogue…and anything else we dream up along the way! Everything decided by community vote (polls here / reactions / replies / dedicated threads). No single person owns it—it’s ours. Goal: End up with a complete, original screenplay born from all of us. Maybe we workshop scenes live, cast readings, or even plan a table read someday. Pure organic creation. Pure fun. Pure learning. To kick it off: Reply below with your first suggestion — What genre or very rough idea should we start with? (Sci-fi thriller? Dark comedy? Period drama? Coming-of-age with a twist? Something totally wild?) Or just drop a 🔥 if you’re in and want to see where this goes! Let’s make something no one person could have made alone. What do you say? Who’s ready to build? 👇

Community, As we step into this brand-new year, I want to pause and celebrate how far we’ve come together. 2025 brought growth, challenges, breakthroughs, and connections that strengthened us all. Thank you for being part of this journey—your energy, shares, and support make this space truly special. Now, 2026 is here: a fresh 365-page book waiting for us to write an epic story. This is our year to rediscover purpose, set bold goals, and manifest the destiny we’ve been dreaming about. Remember: “You are the creator of your own destiny.” — Buddha “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.” — William Shakespeare We don’t wait for destiny—we align with it through intention, action, and belief. Let’s make 2026 intentional: • Clarify your purpose: What lights you up? What impact do you want to make? • Set powerful goals: Dream big, but break them into steps. Health, wealth, relationships, growth—whatever calls to you. • Manifest daily: Visualize success, speak affirmations, create a vision board, and trust the process. I’m committing to [your personal goal, e.g., “daily mindset practices and supporting you all even more”]. What’s one goal you’re manifesting for 2026? Drop it in the comments below—let’s inspire and hold each other accountable. Together, we’ll turn visions into reality. Here’s to peace, purpose, prosperity, and unstoppable growth in 2026! 🚀✨ Who’s ready?

I just wanted to publicly say thank you to the members of the publishing committee for the positive feedback, encouragement and edits to my work. Thanks to you I have evolved from a ghost writer into turning my dreams into reality. The Writer’s Retreat is in a different class from other writers courses and classes I have ever experienced. The support I have received has been amazing, thank you Greg, and what I have learned far outstrips anything I’ve learned before. Crossing my fingers for a publishing deal very soon. 🤞🏼

Hey legends! First, a massive THANK YOU for the POEM posts – your verses were straight-up beautiful. Hearts full, vibes electric. 🔥 Now, let’s level up. Your mission (if you choose to accept it): Drop a logline for a movie, book, novel, cartoon, animated series – anything you dream up. One sentence. High stakes. Total hook. Example: “When a shy librarian discovers her late grandmother’s cookbook is actually a spellbook that summons gourmet demons, she must master molecular gastronomy to banish a ravenous soufflé overlord before it devours her small town’s annual bake-off.” I know. That’s as cheesy as the soufflé. You get my drift. Rules? • One logline per comment. • Make it yours. Wild, weird, heartfelt, hilarious – go. • Upvote the ones that make you go “I’d watch/read that yesterday.” What’s a Logline? For those of you who haven’t ventured into The Writer’s Retreat (and it is a real treat!) here’s an explanation… A logline is a single, high-stakes sentence that sells your entire story. It’s the elevator pitch that makes someone say, “I need to see/read that now.” Core Structure (4 beats in 1 sentence) 1. Protagonist (who + 1-2 vivid traits) 2. Goal (what they want/need) 3. Stakes (what happens if they fail) 4. Antagonist/Conflict (who/what stands in the way) Formula When [INCITING INCIDENT] forces [PROTAGONIST] to [GOAL], they must overcome [ANTAGONIST/CONFLICT] or risk [STAKES]. Examples • Jaws: When a killer shark terrorizes a beach town, a police chief with a fear of water must hunt it down before it devours the summer tourist season. • Up: When a grieving widower ties balloons to his house to fly to South America, he must outrun a storm—and his cranky stowaway scout—to fulfill his late wife’s dream. Pro Tips • Irony: The goal should clash deliciously with the protagonist (shy librarian vs. demon chefs). • Specificity: Swap “hero” for “disgraced astronaut” or “caffeinated raccoon.” • Stakes > Plot: Focus on why it matters, not the full synopsis.

“A poem shared is a truth dared... a soul bared.“ Share a poetical piece with us all so we may enthrall, have a posting ball, with wordsmith recall, in the hallowed hall, of it all.
