LA Homestead

Werkin.

I have a theory called Circles. Begin by drawing a circle around yourself and make sure everything inside your circle is going well. Is your work-life balance in sync? Are you staying healthy? Once you are confident in yourself, widen the circle to include your loved ones. Once they are thriving, start thinking about the bigger picture and do all you can to help others. If you have a small business, make a difference in your neighbourhood. Then as you grow, draw a bigger circle around your city. Next, try to have a positive impact across your country. Finally, draw a last circle around the world. Maybe even the universe one day…

Over here just waiting on tinder hooks for the debate!!!

THE WRITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE

For most of the 20th century, banks offered their customers something called a Christmas Club. You deposited a small amount every week, something that seemed completely doable. The bank's job was to hold your money and make sure that you didn't take it out. There were large fees for early withdrawal, or even for not making your deposit on time. Then, a few weeks before Christmas you had a nice nest egg to spend at the holidays.

Before credit cards this was a way to address a simple fact, i.e. it's really hard to save money. You know what's just as hard? Having the discipline to write every day!

No judgement, but how many of us have made a New Year's resolution to finish that script, or novel, or memoir, or book of poetry...and another year goes by without it getting done. I know it's happened to me.

So this year I am offering THE WRITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE. I see this a mix of a writing class, a networking opportunity, and a support group. Mainly, it's a way to stay motivated and a place to be accountable. We will begin the Challenge this month, February, and meet every week until December. By then we should all have a finished, proofread, submittable piece of writing.

Every week we will meet, read a few pages to each other, and get feedback. We will also have brief lessons on various aspects of storytelling. Occasionally we will have industry guest speakers, and meet-and-greets with agents, managers and other execs.

I'm thinking about Sunday afternoon, from 3 to 5pm, at my studio in Sherman Oaks but with a Zoom component for those who can't be physically present. I'm also open to changing that time if it doesn't seem workable for most people.

Because the point of this is to attend every week. To help with that motivation, the entire amount of the course is due by the first day. There is no return policy so if you drop out, you lose everything. (Obviously if you have a true emergency we can talk about it.) I would also like to implement a policy that if you miss a meeting, or come without your work, you would be liable to pay $5 in cash into a kitty for our end-of- year Christmas party. Hopefully there won't be much in there!

The price for an entire year of weekly classes, is the very reasonable amount of $1995. It works out to less than $25 an hour, and you know you can't even go to lunch for that amount.

If you are interested, please DM or email me IMMEDIATELY! I have a feeling this is going to fill up fast, and there is no late entry after February 25.

Join the challenge and write it before Christmas!
