Every now and then, I feel called to share a few words of encouragement for the collective creative space, not only a screenwriter, but a mental health advocate.
Whether you’re on your first project or you’re a seasoned vet with representation and a deep resume, we all share the same spark: that unique energy to ideate and bring a vision from the mind to the paper, and eventually to the screen. We all took the leap and just began.
I wanted to hold space for us to pause and reflect on the journey. I’ll go first:
- My Biggest Achievement: Deciding to take this path three years ago and officially wrapping my first feature-length screenplay this year.
- My Next Goal: Writing and producing my first short film this year to enter into the festival circuit, networking naturally, and moving toward my first paid writing assignment.
- The Long-Term Dream: To see my stories on the big screen and move into TV. I want my work to be synonymous with healing—where the audience isn't just entertained, but they leave feeling a sense of impact and mental clarity.
Now, I’d love to hear from you:
What is your biggest win as a creative right now?
What is your next achievable goal for 2026?
What is the long-term "big screen" dream you’re working toward?
Let’s celebrate the progress, no matter what stage of the process you're in.
Hi! I don't write scripts or promote my projects because I don't believe in the possibility of implementing them. I'm not doing anything and I'm happy about it.

I am revising a draft and revisions keep rippling through the script thus demanding more revisions. I really don't think this is a page 1 rewrite (which I have done with another script) so I am pressing on. A recent flu didn't help.
