When writing, I follow my intuition over all else. When the script is yours, you should do what you feel is right. If you write with other intentions, it may not feel good. There's something to be said about that though. Writing in the industry isn't as simple as that. As much as I wish … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Ray Bradbury
Author: Jordan
Thanks for stopping by! A few things about me. I've been an L.A. local for my whole life, and I spend my days working here at front desk of theOffice. My number one goal here is to fill this blog feed full of things that will motivate and inspire writers, and to give you all an occasional laugh. I'm a lover of science and technology, geek culture, and video games. If anything inspires you as a writer, I'd love to hear about it!

Learning to Write a Great Antagonist with Batman
I found this great infographic on how to write a great antagonist. Many of you, I'm sure, understand that I myself am on the dark side. My daily goal is to get you to write, and only an evil person could truly want to do that. Innately I understand these principles, but I thought I … Continue reading Learning to Write a Great Antagonist with Batman
Emmy Winners 2017

I hope you've enjoyed the ride here at the blog as much as I have in writing the posts. I'm going … Continue reading Emmy Winners 2017
Friday Fun – Rest Well
This always seems to happen when I'm the most tired too. I'm ready to sleep, and then all of a sudden my mind starts racing! It's even worse when I get up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. I've tried writing those ones down, but they never make sense … Continue reading Friday Fun – Rest Well
Quote of the Day – Barbara Fine Clouse and Angela Booth
If you think about it, these quotes make a lot of sense. It's great to have a warm-up of sorts to get the brain going and the ideas flowing. I like editing the pages from my previous writing session. Keep in mind this isn't a full edit. It's mostly for a grammar check and a … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Barbara Fine Clouse and Angela Booth
Fall TV Preview
Fall TV preview? Don't I already have enough shows to watch? I still need to see "Ozark," I'm binge-watching "The Office" (not to be confused with my workplace, theOffice!), and just binged "Attack on Titan" and "Preacher." Gotta watch "Rick and Morty" too. Also... I just found out that there's a 24/7 live stream … Continue reading Fall TV Preview
Friday Fun – Plan Vs. Reality
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjJCdCXFslY Here's an understanding I have of how life works. Almost everything takes longer and is more difficult than you expect it to be. This should never be an excuse to quit. When obstacles come your way, and they will far more often than you will expect or like, your resilience is key to finishing … Continue reading Friday Fun – Plan Vs. Reality
Writing Tips – Positive Reinforcement
But you say you're not a dog? Dogs can't read. I know that, and I certainly know my audience... all one of you named Mom. Well that's no excuse! Shaggy wasn't a dog either, and positive reinforcement worked wonders on him. That guy would do anything for a Scooby Snack! What is positive reinforcement anyway? … Continue reading Writing Tips – Positive Reinforcement
In-Depth Look – Stephen King
Last October I posted an In-Depth Interview on Stephen King, which deals more about his life, and what has influenced him as a writer. It's hard to realize how much his stories have an influence on our culture. Really, did you know just within the span of several months he has 5 projects releasing? Three … Continue reading In-Depth Look – Stephen King
