One piece of advice I have heard about writing is to make yourself uncomfortable. Don't restrict yourself to what you are comfortable with. Push yourself and try to write something out of your comfort zone. You may surprise yourself! #writing #screenwriting #scriptwriting

This year will mark another year since I was the ghostwriter for Peter Buckley's autobiography. Happy I wrote it, but it was published nearly five years ago. I'd like to ghostwrite another sports autobiography in the near future. #autobiography #sport #sports

Over the next few weeks, I will be posting interviews with independent directors, writers and fans of the silver screen film. Each interview will be varied and interesting. Stay tuned for more details! #film #movie #independentfilm #sciencefiction #horror
