I’m really loving these videos and interviews. I’m using RUclips to practice my storytelling and hoping to take it further in 2023 with some short films and writing scripts myself. I have so much to learn but I’ve never felt so… “alive”.
Creative writing takes place in solitude which is the foundation. Our inner world thoughts are formed only after seeing the outer world Without outer world events, no inner world thinking comes up. Sheila's body language, talk, words,expressions , explosions, presentation are well synchronised and her conversation is interesting to watch.
As a mental health professional and as a "writer," I commend this wonderful lady who during her interview has imparted fantastic knowledge to me. Also, I'm a big horror junkie but I'm struggling with the last 5% of my feature script right now. I wish her nothing but happiness and success 🙌 ✨️
I love these videos because you can actually learn a lot, especially being a writer of a sort. It's a good way to know the do's and don'ts in creative writing.
LOVED the comparison between writing and sociopathy... "You develop these interesting and beautiful people and then put them into terrible situations." Reminds me of D&D, where each Player creates an entire profile, filling out a "Character Sheet" with stat's and full-on numerically valued abilities, from strength, endurance, or dexterity, down to the skills at things like acrobatics, archery, tracking, or geology... A backstory is almost always a requisite, developing how in the actual f*** someone grows up going to the good schools to get technical skills like Computer Operations, a specialization in Robotic Engineering, and somehow just happens to have a passion for firearms and a black belt in Ju-jitsu... even that he weighs 90 pounds soaking wet... OR what coincided for the obscenely large bruiser, complete with battle scars from a lifetime in gang violence and professional soldiering is also an expert at knitting... AND then between these Players and their FRIENDLY Game Master, they get these characters together to go after World Destroying villains because nobody else is willing to face such things... One of my Characters actually STARTED A REVOLUTION AND TOOK DOWN AN EMPEROR, all beginning with his inability to have garlic toasted rolls with his spaghetti!!! It's a weird and winding tale, a LONG and slow burn building up to the thing... BUT from one little wheat-shortage (for the rolls) to a budding industrialized brewing business for BEER... to funding the Empire... to the conclusion... "Welp, I guess I'm gonna have to go kill this Emperor motherf*cker"... just a lot more convoluted and intertwined with the other Character's side quests, backstory hooks and misadventures along the way... It was hilarious when we tracked everything back and realized the whole revolution started... 100% on account of the meal where we couldn't have those garlic rolls... haha... SO yeah.. creative story-craft.. whether for a novelist, a screen-writer or playwright... or as a GM and Player of RPG's... We ALL take weird, wild, and wonderful people, often firmly rooted in the human condition of struggling against our weaknesses and flaws with sub-optimal beginnings and less than stellar dreams and aims... AND then we chuck 'em into the fray... We drag them down to the darkest of places and present them with IMPOSSIBLE decisions to make and horrific dilemmas... all for our entertainment. We can truly be THE WORST kinds of human beings, if you look at it that way... haha ;o)
This might be stupid or cheesy, but in the beginning when she said she knows what her stories can do for people reminded me of the final scene of "The Unbeatable Kimmy Schmidt". Where a little kid tells the main character ",I love your book Ms. Schmidt! It makes me feel safe." And yeah it's a comedy show but I swear to God I still tear up just thinking about it cause that's what I hope I hope what I write will touch people who needed the story as much as I need to write it, and to feel better.
Like the STAR TREK episode with black on the right side, it allows us to convey questions and posit ideas that would be rejected out of hand otherwise.
Being able to create my own universe. When I write, it's like cooking food, make building and invent science. Before I write those projects, I like to be able to be in that character's shoes and be able to write that character. So I can see what it's like to be that character.
That I write. That I carry pen-and-paper everywhere, even when in front of laptop. That I generate ideas. That I have a point-of-view. That I express myself authentically. That - some days, or some years - I add something meaningful-to-monumental to the discourse, to the culture. That I translate experience and ideas. That I entertain, and sometimes enrapture. That I point in all those directions.
Funny thing about stories. When you look at it top down, like a blue print it's not very interesting. It's not very original, either. It's kind of boring. But when you start to write it, things happen that you don't expect. Things seem to come alive in the subtle details. There's something about that that really can't be expressed in words about what it means to write. It's a feeling that these ideas, though they are kind of an illusion, they're almost more real than the world we live in. Like a dream. There's something more real about it than reality. And you can't help but come back again and again to tickle it, just to see what's really there...
I don’t know if I’m right but I don’t think others like us learning from them because they don’t keep the credit or name if someone else does it at the same level and not have anything authentic of their to give back from their book we see what others can’t see about themselves and what they write or produce that can be greater than great
O man I love horror! I wish I could watch movies! I go way back to the crazy stuff too like terrorVision, puppet masters the original childs play with the character Andy. I was a Chainsaw times 10 by high school (movie summer school Cristy Ally! Epic for ever❤)
Please don’t write anything based on the happiness you get from another author but believe within that what you produce as a writing draft just words or ideas then form the best thinking you can possible write each time go higher thoughts and think about what will make the entire universe want to buy your books 📕 bigger books
Thanks for sharing🎉 It is always a lesson Everytime I discover One Of your guests. Good luck and all the best. That is the spirit❤ Life is a process😊✨🤞🔔👍👩🎨🐎Keep the creation we need more stories from Female perspective 😊
* Can I request more video's where writers do a breakdown of the structure of their favourite movie? That would be so informative. (not story guru's or structure guru's but more working screenwriters?).
Question?Should everyone have their own writing style or do they have to write a book based on their personal preferences based upon what they’re reading or what they’re into on a insightful level of reality or realism
I’ve had to I had one guy id have to explain but.. I know a lot of stories that are real life characters I know they’re real people but I’d have to explain a proses of telling their stories and tragic and they all somehow I would be put in the position to i never really asked to have a lot of people in my life I had a guy call me (one story) really late one night and it was a really bad conversation but I thought by the last call he was good but he killed him self right after and I was pretty sure he was good. But it’s the details/this guy thought way more of me than I thought I could’ve stopped all this way before but I had no idea how other people saw me back then including him I’m the biggest fool on earth 🌍 and my old buddy who lived with me off and on since high school finally OD’d same story as another one no body knows what happened (drug-buddies Hard-Drug) (they couldn’t call 911 and get busted at the same time). When I was younger I had no idea how my peers saw me until I took myself out of the picture a long time ago really long time ago. All these people were constantly looking to me I always have the answer they all could’ve been deferint right now. I can see the healthier even a little built healthy version of that guy i could’ve made them act right. They needed me to be somebody and take them in the right direction but I didn’t make that move when I should have i can explain it down to the details. These two guys even knew each other and one was with me the night the other called me. It’s like a Time Machine story to explain what would’ve happened. Anybody reading this take the time to slow down and really take the time to simply pay attention there’s a whole world happening in “real” time all around you be curious to take the time to act. All these people billions and probably more billions of individual books/people maybe if everyone had the realization of living a real life story written or unwritten. Maybe Heaven or Hell is your life rushing by being an audience member of the story you’ve just been a part of. Maybe if more people felt okay with pulling for the protagonist (themselves) and seeing themselves being something and developing becoming who they like believing in that character/themselves. I could’ve saved a few people if at that time for each of them I believed in me. But yea. I didn’t mean to type all this LOL Y’all’re gonna run off. Let me know when I’m too much down here in the comments and I’ll bow out gracefully (The Spinners-I’ll be around🎶)
I’m always surprised to find out who have been relevant and influential or important to and I definitely was devastated a couple of times I have realized that I was just NOT even an extra they would recognize in the movie of their lives and I was reckless enough to give them almost equal billing in the movie of my own life.
@@RadioPsychicAstrologyByPepper I’ve cut people out of my life I call it cutting strings sometimes it’s lonely but at least I’m Free…I got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown….I’ve got no strings on me🎶 Hay but they’re just some extras in your life now 😎🙌🏼 they should’ve worked harder to make a few scenes happen with you they could’ve had a better role…..they could’ve been a star. I’ve heard here (film courage) that actors have to give more to end up on the final reel. They must not have wanted it bad enough.
@@nickybjammin7629 Your initial post is thoughtful, thanks. The last line of this post misfires; take another listen to the actors you're referring to. Filmmaking and motion media is collaborative; an actor could give all and more and still be iced from final cut, or "final reel." There are lots of reasons for editing decisions, most having to do with narrative flow, reveals and conceals, & hewing to the thrust of the action, only a small shred of which is the actor's commitment or effort level, "want[ing] it bad enough" etc.

So true. This is exactly why rejection is taken so personally.
There’s nothing like creative writing. It’s breathtaking when you come up with a brilliant story all by yourself.
I felt it when you wrote “breathtaking” ❤

I could listen to this woman all day… and the interviewer’s questions were masterful in bringing out her beautiful mind 🙏

My problem with so much TV and movie writing is that I believe I heard it all already
So many interesting videos. I’m very happy I found this channel. I like to put it on in background while I write. Great work
Glad you enjoy it!

Putting women in charge of writing, cinemtography, and directing, that is why most Hollywood films are garbage!
"when you need it" yeh, ok champ, go to the gym.
Wow, such an insightful and relevant comment! You're clearly a wonderful person.
