Meeting other writers from the Bay Area
I went to a thing…in Oakland… for screenwriters… yeah lol.
Repost from @rafaelcasal • Hey Bay Area screenwriters! A lot of us don’t know each other, and it makes it hard to feel like there is a community of storytellers who want to make tv/film in the bay. Not just want, but are actively pursuing it. I’d love to help change that, so Daveed and I are hosting a screenwriters Salon. Which is a fancy way to say stand around like nerds and talk about storytelling, discuss our obstacles, and see that we are not alone in the place we call home.. Big love, Bay Area. #localsonly #linkinbio

I thought graduate school was for me until I was in graduate school. If I would’ve known what I did now, I might have possibly not have gone OR would’ve stayed to get my Ph.D.

New Headshots - New Me
Friday I took new headshots. I wanted to show a new me. I’ve been working out since April and lost 20 pounds. With that, I’ve been shedding a lot of dead weight, mental shifts of how I perceive myself, and who and what I surround myself around. Most of it has been in solitude writing and reading… basically living in peace, quiet and solitude. Alone in my own thoughts. In which at times can be dangerous.
