I saw Enable Labels in college. Can't believe how big they've gotten.

I was just telling an actor friend that 2025 is the year of following “Hell Yes’s”. I’m surrounding myself with people that genuinely want to collaborate and create, even if it isn’t the “right thing” for my career.

“Bottle of red. Bottle of orange.
Waiter swinging the kitchen door hinge.
He’ll bring you a mango White Claw if you want.
In his Italian Restaurant.”

I did my improv 101 class in 2006 before I became a writer so improv always informed my writing process. Then when I moved to LA in 2012, I did 101 again at UCB and Diarra Kilpatrick was in my class!

Yes, and… Congratulations!!!

When I teach storytelling classes I have to remind students that what was normal to them in their family/life, may be wildly different than every other family/life. We need to find those unique experiences that shaped the writer and mine them.

My first read of this post said Pokemon village and I got excited. :)

My 10 year old daughter LOVED it. My 7 year old son was a little scared and running out of the room at times, or asking to sit in my lap. I was worried it was too much for him. Then the next day he had 100 questions about SM33. He was so interested. Like he was excited to confront his fears. A+

I would love to see the story of a strike team of ex-Jedi who go world to world freeing slaves. They’re tired of the Jedi bureaucracy and take matters into their own hands.

Don’t go in through the cellar! It’s haunted! (Ghosts = Fake Open Writing Assignments)

With no constraints, they can’t put together a cohesive scene. When I give them the constraints of location, relationship, and the game of what they know they can talk about, the scenes are AMAZING. It takes experience to improvise all the details on the fly. But a person can CRUSH when supported.

There is definitely magic in giving students the tools to create universes on the page from nothing. It trickles out into their real lives. It gets energy moving. Well done!

I totally feel you. Coming from an improv/live theater background I’m used to having an idea and it existing on stage, in front of an audience, immediately. The longer I pursued screenwriting in Hollywood, I saw all my colleagues doing great work that never existed outside of our table reads.
