Level up your writing - with holiday movies!
Why not make this holiday season a crash course in structureβ and maybe write the best book or script of your life so far in the New Year?
Happy Solstice!!!!! As we get down to the wire on these holidays it gets hard to find time to write. But you can get in some stealth craft work during family time - by watching holiday movies. #writingcommunity #amwriting #screenwriting #holidaymovies

Rose, I'd suggest you do the transcription yourself. It's far from wasted time - you won't just be transcribing, you'll be editing and brainstorming the whole time, and your subconscious will be working on other scenes from your book, too. I feel it's an essential part of the writing process.

I am grateful every day to be living in Scotland. For political reasons, definitely. And then thereβs this. Loch Lomond is half an hour away from us, but it feels like the edge of the world. And I love a getaway that doubles as a research trip! #Scotland #adventuretravel #writingcommunity

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride just flipped the script and left MAGA Rep. Keith Self speechless after he intentionally misgendered her. This is amazing.

No, they didn't. They're not even bothering with excuses, just going straight for subjugation.

International Women's Day: California Heroines
As ELON-FELON tries to eliminate all history involving anyone but white men, I want to shout out just a few of the powerhouse California women Iβve been researching in my deep dive into San Francisco ...
In response to the Sexual Predator-in-Chiefβs executive order banning diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, I am doubling down on Women's History Month on After the Gold Rush. For International Women's Day: California Heroines. #WomensHistory #DEI open.substack.com/pub/goldenga...

It really is appalling how this industry demands free labor, especially of young people. I hope it paid off for you eventually, but SO unfair and elitist.

THE WIZARD OF OZ is one of the greatest film examples of: 1)
The Heroineβs Journey story structure. 2) Jungian archetypes.
3: Anti-totalitarian movies from the last fascist swell of history AND - a great textbook for us writers to look at for how to fight the current one. #classicmovies #filmsky

Agree about Longlegs! One great opening scene is not a movie, it's a YouTube short horror film.
