Happy Friday! Things are moving at a snail’s pace here. Not much to report on the three original projects I’ve been telling you about. I think the HALF-LIGHT TV spec is going to a list of studios this weekend. My feature spec, ROAR, is out to a handful of directors. No word on the novel. I’ve been checking out material sent to me by my team, I’ll be throwing my hat in the ring for something soon. No staffing meetings to speak of.
Thank you for yet another fantastic recommendation regarding music. The storytelling and sure-handed direction in that 3 minute music video is something we all could learn from.
Cal Newport's book "So Good They Can't Ignore You" has some incredible information about deliberate practice. Highly recommend checking it out. According to Cal, deliberate practice is one of the best ways to improve your skills.
Congrats on the health journey! I love hearing about your organic, character-based writing process. It feels so alien to me. Most of my work has been so premise-based, something producers can get excited about, but sometimes feels like my little own IP-factory.
I love Atomic Habits. Once I put my systems in place life got so much better. Thank you for this reminder on character. I was staring at the Scrivener curser when your newsletter dropped. This was just the inspiration I needed. Thank you! And Kudos on the progress. You’re winning.

Great to hear about your progress with your health. Live, dammit, live!
And who knew Matthew McConaughey was in a music video? You buried the lede there, buddy. 😳
“Habits plus deliberate practice equal mastery.”
