Daydreaming leads to vibrant scripts. It just does. In this episode, we talk about why an easeful way into your screenwriting process is so valuable, how really authentic scripts come from people using structured daydreaming as part of their process, how you can relearn the daydreaming muscle (if it was trained out of you by school like it was for many of us), and how it's a great time to pursue screenwriting and filmmaking in the world, in general.  

By the way, I now have a Daydreaming Workshop on Saturdays @ 12pm EST where we gather on zoom for an hour to get to know our own sustainable screenwriting process through daydreaming! It's a fun and oh-so-relaxing time so please come join us. Check this podcast's insta (link below) for how to join this weekly daydreaming workshop. Start your weekend off with easeful inspiration!

In this episode we're going to talk about the show NEW GIRL, but what show or movie do you find comforting and awesome? You can use that show or movie to learn about screenwriting and see if that show/movie also does these five things. NEW GIRL is for sure one of my comfort shows that I find entertaining as heck but also a safe, cozy place (which is super valuable). Enjoy these 5 reasons why this show is so amazingly written and made. Also, (because who doesn't love a list?) here are those five reasons written out...

5 reasons NEW GIRL is an amazing show

1. Character history

Book rec of the week: FINDING ME by Viola Davis (it's a memoir and it's SO GOOD)

If you're someone who's wanting to write a script, this episode might be very interesting to you! In this episode, I get specific, I get vulnerable, and I get celebratory about the pilot script that I'm finishing up this week. The script, GOD HELP US that I'm so proud of writing, all started with this simple 5-minute writing exercise that really did revolutionize my writing process. So if you're curious, I'd encourage you to give this 5-minute writing exercise a try.
