New Member 🔥 Hot Seat/Orientation 🔥 - Thursday 10 a.m. PST - Drop Pages Here 👇

Great to have so many new people coming on board!

Before I forget, here's the actual link for this Thursday's New Member Hot Seat/Orientation at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.

If you haven't been in a coaching call yet, this is the place to start. You are welcome to come, hear me pontificate about my philosophy on writing/coaching and why I started this group about 9 months ago.

It's started at the urging of my daughter who is now at NYU, studying creative writing. And she told me how much our conversations about creativity and the writing life meant to her. As a father, you never really realize a lot of times that your children might actually be listening to what you're saying. Much less getting something from it.

But here we are now.

My goal here is to really teach writer's to lean into their own voices, and to be able to move through the ups and downs of what it takes to write a script. To realize that enthusiasm and inspiration ebbs and flows, and the real trick is riding those waves and just to keep getting in touch with that voice inside you, which only comes from consistently getting your ass in the chair.

When you frame the struggle as the central task of the creative, then those days when you're not feeling it take new meaning. Anyone can write when inspired. But when you learn to show up and be present for the work, no matter what you're feeling, then you really start learning what it is to be an instrument for your own characters. And not just some moody writer, who writes when they want for their own ego.

Yes, I will flat out pontificate in this coaching session. But the more I teach these things, the more important and foundational I realize they are. Because I"m seeing writers move through the process without so much mental drama and procrastination that plagues most of the writing world.

If you have pages, drop them here. We'll assign your cast and do a table read of 5-10 pages of your opening. Because nothing is more important for a new writer than the opening of your script. It lives or dies in the first 10 pages.

And if you don't want to bring pages, that's fine too. Just come. Find out what this place is all about, meet our cast of regulars who show up to welcome you.

And remember, you're here now. You don't have to face the blank page alone.

See you Thursday,

David
