Pivoting Points

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!

Lessons Learned as a YouTube Sensation

                  
Pivoting on an idea for something better is one thing writers have to accept and be good at. Because when you're not and you don't let an initial idea go to make way for something that can (and probably will) make your story better, you're cheating yourself and your story. Pivoting and not being precious about your ideas are two of the most important things to make friends as a writer and guess what? It also applies to YouTube channels.

This is my story. *insert Law & Order dun dun sound here*

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 a YouTuber now.

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.
