Love the idea of the Pats starting yet another much-hated dynasty. But also love me some Sam Darnold come back story. So I'll be good however this game goes. Predictions: Pats. Crucial mistake cost Darnold in the 4th Quarter. Situational football rules the day. But... this takes me back to The Goat, TB12. And the horrible start vs Atlanta, years ago. They fell behind 28-3, before storming back and winning in overtime. And maybe nothing looked worse than when Brady threw a pick 6 when they were down 14, to let the score go to 21-0. But he gathered himself and his team. "Come on now, laser focus! We gotta play harder! Tougher!" And led the greatest comeback in sports history. I've often felt this way when battling a script. Trying to figure out the way forward. Feeling lost, but knowing it's not in my DNA to give up and being determined to fight my way through. I genuinely look to Brady as a model for that. Selected 199th in the draft. 4th quarterback on the roster, behind the first QB ever to sign a $100M contract. But showing up everyday in practice and staying late, with the mentality that this would be his team one day and his work ethic would make that inevitable. I'm curious, who's your model for the way you work, for how you move forward when things get tough? Oh, and what's your pick? I'm going 27-24 Pats. Vrabel's got this team dialed in. I could be wrong, but even if I am, with the mentality Brady set down for that organization, even a loss will be a learning experience on their way back to greatness IMHO. Then again, I'm the same guy who was at a huge Super Bowl party years ago and everybody was making fun of me when the Pats were down 28-3. And I said, we've got them right where we want them. Then I might have turned around and flipped them all a double bird when the Pats won. I'm not saying I did. But I'm not saying I didn't either. Go Pats!

Huge turnout today! This was our biggest yet. Every one of these is a learning experience for me. Especially seeing how the pages play out now that we're doing table reads and seeing how other writers respond. Curious what came out of today for you guys. @Temycka Carpenter Carlton @Jason Byrley @Jason Smith @Chad Desrochers @Anna Fermin @Pia Crawford @Shauna G @Iii Party @Krystel Biasotti @Chris Dyer @Ian Campbell @Lena Lieuvin @Piter Marek @David Hinnebusch @Godfrey Virgile We couldn't get to everyone and will get you in future sessions. Meanwhile, I need to create a sign up sheet of sorts here, so we can schedule more than one session out. But this platform doesn't allow me to do that, so any suggestions on how to do so would be appreciated!

Looking forward to seeing more great work from the Writer's Forge crew! You guys are leading the way and setting the standard for writers who are willing to show up and be accountable and really build themselves, one day, one session at a time. That's where the magic happens. Zoom Link: Premier Coaching, Friday, Feb 6, 12 p.m. Pacific Time. If you haven't experienced these coaching sessions, jump in, with pages or without. And just see what's happening here, that you just can't find anywhere else!

I just thought I’d share what I’ve been up to other than just working my day job 🤣 I’m catching up on posts that i have missed as we speak. Firstly - How is everyone doing? I thought I’d share something different today. I’ve felt a little slump of writing my cyberpunk movie/feature project over the last few days. I’m not sure if it’s whether I’m just stuck. Or not sure how to add my next steps. ( as I’ve written and introduced my main character Billy ). Or if it’s just self doubt. BUT. I have still a lot of creative writing energy. That I want to get out. This morning I heard a song, that was on my playlist for the first ever story I had wrote down. Nearly 2 years ago. I started that at a time of knowing…NOTHING. So, I actually wrote it as a book format. Chapters. Each chapter in my head was an episode. Over the course of the two years I’ve learnt more and more- and started my first draft pilot episode. Now, I LOVE this story. As it came From mostly random thoughts I had and conversations I had with people. Inspired and reimagined by shows I love. Eg. Supernatural and lucifer. Mixed with glitz and glam of Hollywood. As someone who isn’t religious personally. But LOVE when shows explore the cosmic world and supernatural worlds. And well as military style Shows . I always had questions. And imagining “what if’s”. And this is where “ I did it for the devil” came from. So today. I was kind of drawn to this project. A spark. ( I still LOVE LOVE LOVE the cyberpunk project - but today just something in me made me pick my first story back up) So here is a treatment/ outline and also the opening scene of the pilot. ( which I edited and added more of today. ). I still need to expand on places. And figure out the B- line story as currently it’s just an A line story A while ago along side my music playlist for this story. I created a make shift visual trailer using stock videos, to help get the vibe in my head. Honestly this group - I have learnt so so much in such a short time. But even more - I have felt so inspired by all of you guys in this group. So thank you so much 🖤
