Consistency is key when it comes to pretty much everything because it can get you places. 

However, my version of consistency when it comes to writing is not egalitarian, but far more serious. 

I call it The Julian Agenda and as your soon to be favorite storyteller, I hope that you'll stand with me as push this agenda on the world.  

About two months ago, I made the decision to start reading books for fun again. I'm always reading but more often than not, I'm reading to learn and gain information about some sort of craft. I love reading but I wasn't reading enough just for the sheer joy of reading like I used to do growing up and it was time to change that. 

Updated on 11/10/2021:

Spoiler alert! I 've changed my mind on all of this. I'm still going to write both drama and comedy because I can do both and so I am going to do both. People may disagree with that and say pick one or the other but, no. I'm going to do both anyway, so there's no point in changing anything now. 

But please do continue on reading this post because it's heartwarming and such.

After a bunch of years, because I don't really actually remember when I decided to be a screenwriter off hand, I've decided to 100% call myself a comedy writer. I am no longer straddling the line and saying I write both comedy and drama and will instead focus on comedy. 

Please clap. 

 

My initial draft of this post in my head was to have some flowery beginning talking about pivoting and new things and something else or another but I was so bored by the third line I just decided trash it and  get straight to the point on writing it on here. 

I'm throwing away most of what I initially wanted for this blog and starting (mostly) over. Things are changing around here, y'all!

 *Looks at the date of the last post*

*Smiles awkwardly at my audience*

Let's just ignore that small, insignificant detail and discuss more pressing details, shall we. 

So there you are minding your business and enjoying life and all the sudden, this grand stroke of genius hits you and you're like "holy hell that would be a great idea for a movie or tv show!"

But then you realize, you don't know how to turn the idea in your head into a functional reality on the page. Listen, I get it. Once upon a time, the same thing happened to me. But I'm here to help and give you the practical steps in getting your idea written on the page.

I'm not gonna hold y'all up. Just wanted to let y'all know what's new.

You read that post title correctly. Your soon to be favorite storyteller is now on YouTube. Quite honestly, I still can't believe it. But here I am. I also left a link on the sidebar because I'm thoughtful like that.

I'll be on YouTube providing advice and tips that have helped me so far in writing screenplays. I hope that my advice is able to help you or anyone else who comes across this blog or the channel with enough information and inspiration to write more efficiently and effectively. Sometimes, it can be a challenge to get warmed up and really start knocking out pages, so I hope that my advice helps you knock out pages more quickly when you sit down to write.

Screenwriting is a community effort. Seriously, no screenwriter truly ever writes alone. It is my sincere hope that this blog and the YouTube channel provides a supportive community to the writers that find it encourages them to continue to nurture their talents. I'm seriously thrilled to grow and learn with you.

Please drop by the channel and Like, Subscribe and Share with your fellow screenwriters.

It's quite crazy to see how drastically life has changed since the last time I wrote here.

We were happy to get out of 2019 and onto a brighter 2020. And so far, 2020 has been one avalanche after another. This is not what we had in mind, please hold the power button for 5 seconds to initiate a hard reset, Universe.

The Corona virus (or COVID-19) has impacted every aspect of life and it is very hard not to experience several emotions throughout the day as we try to cope with our new way of life. On social media, I've seen people say to take full advantage of the down time and work on forgotten projects, start new projects or pick up a new skill. I've also seen people say don't feel obligated to start, finish or learn anything new if you don't feel up to it because *gestures wildly at the world falling apart outside*.
