Introducing the Writing Unblocked newsletter!

I’ll be sharing lessons learned on the path from writing 1 book in 20 years to 5 books in 4 years. After getting my master’s in creative writing and English literature, I studied 3 years in the Writer’s Boot Camp screenwriting program, and spent 30 years meeting deadlines on sets as an actor/producer/writer/director. I know how to get creative work done whether I feel inspired or “blocked.”

Between my 8 books and over 3 decades on sets and auditioning, I’ve literally developed and portrayed thousands of characters. I’ll be sharing some of my secrets for creating textured, individualized characters with unique voices.

If you’ve read Writing Unblocked, then you already know where I got the name for this newsletter, but I’ll also be sharing my process writing my 9th and 10th books, a 2-book fiction series called The Source. 

Whether you’re an author on a deadline, or an aspiring writer wondering how to get started, I know how to get from an idea to a draft of your book before sitting down to write a word. I’ve shared my process with my private coaching clients. Now I’ll be sharing with subscribers!  

I’m brand new to this platform so it’s taking me a moment to get everything set up and running. In the meantime, please let me know if you have a question you’d like me to address. I’ll be selecting some of these questions for future newsletter topics (with an emphasis on topics that can benefit more than just the single individual who asked). 

Actors and filmmakers, make sure you check out my Know Small Parts newsletter!
