What are some of the life changing experiences that have inspired your writing?
For me, it was helping a friend (Holocaust Survivor) find the place he was hidden in Paris as a child and taking him back to that location when he was in his 80's. This one experience changed me on a very profound level, and has inspired me more than any other experience.

God. Emotions. And money.

I've been motivated by a variety of reasons. First and foremost, my joy in typing those magic words "FADE TO BLACK".

My first script was inspired by life-changing events taken or pulled from my own life. It was challenging but a great experience too. Keeping it fictional really helped with objectivity. ;) Other than that I tend to be interested in stories that have a basis in truth or are inspired by true events. Then fictionalizing. Two I'm currently working on, well, maybe three, are based on true crimes -- they're certainly life-changing. Lol! ;)

What motivates me? Personal interest, I write for myself. And if more becomes of it well then that's just icing on the cake. ;)

Letting my imagination stretch it's legs and attempting to do something profound with it is what motivates me to keep on writing. I also tend to write from personal experiences that have left an impact on me - alcoholism, playing in a band and embarking on the most slapdash/cursed tour ever, losing a parent, losing friends, gaining friends, burning my dinner - they all leave their mark on my stories somewhere.

I love movies, television, and filmmaking and I want to be a part of it. If I can express myself and create something that will hopefully entertain my audience, well that's a bonus. And if I someday make money doing it, well that's just another bonus.

I have no choice. My muse puts me in a wrist lock, slams my head against the keyboard and forces me to write. The merciless SOB cares not about how hard writing is with one hand and a migraine.

Every other job I had never gave me the type of respect I gave myself. Writing became a norm, a way of me feeling normal at the end of the day that a job couldn't give me. Then, I became an excellent salesman and still love writing. What inspires me is me and the worlds i create from inside out.

Because I love storytelling. I love creating different worlds and characters and entertaining people with the stuff that comes out of my head. It's fun! :)

I have a crappy phone. I’m not buried into it, so I’m able to grasp mundane more than others and make it fun. I work with like minded creatives too and we bring out the best in each other. also, you just don’t stop. you can’t win every round.
