“Everyone is capable of putting words down
Or telling a story
But not everyone will actually do it
This class is about the doing
And getting better
feels professional
Not like a normal college class
Where you learn things you’ll never apply”

“Create diverse characters because you can. Especially ones that aren’t easy to write. A character that scares you is worth exploring.

Think hard about where your inspiration is coming from.”
