Today is a very simple, but very effective post. We're going to share a writing method called "Don't Break the Chain." The idea is simple as can be. Write every day, and make sure to make your progress very visible. Jerry uses a big calendar that goes right on his wall, and marks a big … Continue reading Jerry Seinfeld’s Unbeatable Writing Method – Don’t Break The Chain

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!
Sam Catlin On Writing
I'm really surprised I haven't written about Sam Catlin, or the show "Preacher" yet, because it's one of my favorite shows on TV. It's got great drama, crazy action, interesting characters, and it's a bit supernatural. It's very well made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHcj-xjJNxM Outside of "Preacher," Sam is most well-known for having written "Breaking Bad," "Rake," and … Continue reading Sam Catlin On Writing
Friday Fun – It’s Not Ready Yet
Happy Friday everybody! Hope you have a great weekend! Maybe you should try to set up some good writing goals today before taking off for the weekend. Yesterday's post can definitely help you with that.
Setting Good Writing Goals
Setting the proper writing goals can be incredibly challenging, especially if you don't know what works for you. What works for some writers very well may not work for you at all, leaving you scratching your head. Some writers say it's best to count words, others say it's best to count pages, and other writers … Continue reading Setting Good Writing Goals
Friday Fun – Write What You Know
They say you're supposed to write what you know. If Jon Snow were a writer he'd write nothing... because "you know nothing, Jon Snow." Terrible jokes aside, I hope you all have a great weekend! Writing what you know is a great way to start, but don't limit yourself to that. Reach into the beyond, … Continue reading Friday Fun – Write What You Know
How To Write An Action Movie
It's summer, and that means one thing, we're in action movie season. This is the time of the year all the big budget Hollywood movies come out to kick you in the face with a good time. Car chases, superheroes, martial arts, explosions, and to end it all there's always one person who can save … Continue reading How To Write An Action Movie
Christopher McQuarrie On Writing
I love the "Mission: Impossible" movies. Every single one I've seen has been great, and the most recent continues on with that trend. Christopher McQuarrie is a special case with the series as he's the first person to come back and direct a second movie. It's amazing how he's been able to keep the series … Continue reading Christopher McQuarrie On Writing
Friday Fun – Like Twitter, But Longer
What is the world coming to??? Bookstores are going the way of Blockbuster, and this is what happens. I can only see the English Lit. classes of the future... "Okay kids. Last night J.K. Rowling tweeted the first sentence of her newest Twook (Twitter book). Let's discuss. What does it mean?"
How To Write A Musical
Do you have your jazz hands ready? Since we’re already on the topic of musicals this week, I thought tips on writing them would be a perfect segue. While they’re certainly making a comeback after a long recess, musicals have been a part of Hollywood filmmaking for a very long time. I think we have … Continue reading How To Write A Musical
Ol Parker On Writing
I don't think I've posted up about writing a musical before, so here's something new for you. If you're a fan, great, but if not next week I'll likely be posting about "Mission Impossible"... because every single one of those films is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcSMdhfKga4 "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" was a wonderful musical with … Continue reading Ol Parker On Writing
