Help me, help YOU. Help ME, help you!
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 on Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. You can pick up that script here.
