In our latest episode, Jeannetta shares her thoughts on discovering the writers' room and why some artists may want to try a collaborative approach to their work.

Crime can be formulaic.

When it comes to some kinds of #storytelling, there's a formula in place. Crime, for instance, has the "whodunit" or "howdunit." A formulaic story can at first glance sound boring, but the magic is within playing with the beats.

We're excited to release Episode 4: Emotional Beats, part 1 of a 2 part series featuring screenwriter Kara Smith 😮

We discuss the cross-sections between #screenwriting & fiction/poetry including how screenwriters view emotions.

We discuss style in our latest episode. So we did an exercise to help try new styles in our own works. It was very illuminating! Give it a try.

“Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of job: It’s always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins.” - @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com ☕

Episode 3 is out now! We're discussing style, a highly personal element of the writing craft. Jeannetta and Brittany explore finding the "persona" in their own works and a practical exercise you can try to help you discover new styles.

We're excited to hear what you think! #writingcommunity

This has been everywhere, because it’s true. Every step of my writing journey has been owed to those around me, to people who have helped and supported that journey, believed in it when I couldn’t do so myself. You are all amazing.

Love the tactic described in this thread for getting yourself writing ❤️
