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

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
Quote of the Day – Jack Kerouac
I think what Jack meant to say was "It's not what you write, but how you write it." Jack should take some English classes if you ask me. Okay, enough bad jokes. This tiny little quote holds a lot of weight! If a story isn't working for you, it might not be what you're trying … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Jack Kerouac
QOTD
Why do we love our writing teachers so much? Why, years later, do we think of them with such gratitude? I think it’s because they come along when we need them most, when we are young and vulnerable and are tentatively approaching this craft that our culture doesn’t have much respect for, but which we … Continue reading QOTD
Quote of the Day – Edgar Wright
"Baby Driver" is out now! I'm so excited for this movie that I had to do another Edgar Wright post. He's most well known for "Shaun of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz," and "The World's End." I'll do a more in depth post on him soon, but for today let's discuss this quote. I believe it's … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Edgar Wright
Quote of the Day – Robert McKee
Research is very important in writing. Right now we live in a world where many people aren't checking their facts before speaking or writing. Fake news has become a major problem because of this, and makes it easier than ever to mistake fact for fiction. It's important to check facts, and make sure you're not a … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Robert McKee
Quote of the Day – Mary Oliver
Mary Oliver has a great point here. You might think if you have a good thought, that you'll hold onto it. Whether it's in the middle of the night, or the middle of the day it's probably a good idea to write that thought down. It may slip your mind, and could be a thought that … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Mary Oliver
Quote of the Day – Woody Allen
Yesterday was about comedies, and today is about drama. My personal goal as a writer of science fiction is not to show what the world will be, but what the world can be. I can show the best, and the worst of what's to come. That's an incredibly powerful thing. Writers have this tremendous power … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Woody Allen
Quote of the Day – Craig Borten
Today is World AIDS Day. Luckily, AIDS is no longer a death sentence, but it is still a major problem throughout the world. It seems like the medical community is optimistic about finding a cure. It would be wonderful thing, and to raise awareness I'm dedicating today's quote of the day to Craig Borten, co-writer … Continue reading Quote of the Day – Craig Borten
Quote of the Day – T. E. Lawrence
Believe it or not, the first time I heard this quote was in one my favorite video games, "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception." I still haven't seen "Lawrence of Arabia," which is where the quote came from, but I hear it's quite a classic. It sounds a little funny if you don't play video games, but … Continue reading Quote of the Day – T. E. Lawrence
