Pretty cool to see Skool including The Writer's Forge in their Meta ads.

I’m in Clarksville, TN for my niece’s wedding. Wandered into this restaurant. Packed. Waiting list. I don’t do waiting lists. I was ready to bail. Then I walked past someone’s table and saw this. God-level. Stuffed. Blueberry. French. Toast. Hell yes. This place does one thing ridiculously well — and it jumps off the plate at you. It knows what it is. Owns its lane. Closes at 2:30. You want dinner? I don’t care. You want breakfast? Get your ass in here. But you’ll have to stand in line first. Fine. You win. Most scripts die because they try to be everything. A little horror. Some comedy. A love story stapled on the side. Maybe some mystery for good measure. They become a lukewarm buffet nobody crosses the street for. But the script that knows its one thing? That makes a stranger stop and say: Who tf wrote this? Know your genre. Break down films that nailed it. Then get honest with yourself and ask: What’s the stuffed French toast of your screenplay? A story is not a series of events. It’s a seduction. You want my time? Invite me in. Make me want you. What is the God-level scene, character, relationship, world, or feeling you’re swinging for the fences on? That’s what I want to pull out of you. That’s what I preach when coaching. Stop mucking around with chives and garnishes. Learn to make your star fucking shine. People will wait in line for that good shit. That’s what we’re doing in Premium and VIP. (<-- Upgrade here) If you want to be part of that, sign up for the coaching calls. That’s where the magic happens. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have fat stores to build before the next ice age.

I’ve been working on a pilot that is near and dear to my heart . This is based on a character and story my dad created in the 60’s! I’m an artist and voice actor so writing is new to me and I’m excited!!!

Ian brought in pages from Kilo, his new dive/cartel/family-business thriller. He walked us through how the idea started as messy notes from a real diving story, became a scriptment, and is now turning into actual pages. Then the group jumped in and read it out loud. Chad read Kyle. Elliot Moss read Becks. David Hinnebusch narrated. Pia, Lena, Chris, Thia, and others stepped into roles and helped bring the pages to life. We also heard from Tim Elliott about Son of the 11th Hour, the faith-based independent film he’s executive producing, and then read from his JFK/Lee Harvey Oswald script-in-progress. That’s what Premium is. Real writers, pages and project. Not theory or vague encouragement or "writers" talking about "writing"... some day. Members are bringing in scripts, testing scenes, hearing their work out loud, getting feedback, and helping each other make the pages better while the work is still alive.
