A WRITER WHO DOESN'T WRITE

Do I have to join a Writers Group? I don’t like people. And I don’t want them in my business.

What John Ridley did right…but it doesn’t mean I like it.

​Ok… so I wasn’t like a super fan of American Crime like the rest of the world was. I actually didn’t watch it until a few weeks ago. I know, I know. How can I be a TV fanatic and not be up to date on what’s trending…crucify me later. Anywho, I only took the time out to watch for three reasons: 1. John Ridley extending his deal with ABC (must’ve impressed someone) 2. Regina King wining an Emmy for her guest star role (which should’ve been a supporting role because she was on EVERY episode once introduced. Lol) 3. A friend of mine has a small role in the first episode of Season 2 and I felt like I had to watch Season 1 first (yep, I’m that kind of TV person).

​Alright, soooo… I talk about diversity a lot. BECAUSE IT MATTERS. But I don’t really know where I stand on the #OscarssoWhite issue. I’m really only writing about it because it’s trending and I should have an opinion. So, I’ll make it up as I go. Here goes nothing.

What Pen Pals Are Saying

 As a growing writer, the feedback from The Professional Pen has been crucial in developing my project. The straight forward feedback opened my mind beyond my script. I was given advice about the genre, the world I created, raising the stakes, and character decisions, etc. It urged me to go back, rethink about those gray areas in which I already felt were weak to tackle them for a stronger, focused, and reassured execution. Over all, I like that I wasn't given solutions to my writing, but solid questions that challenged me. I most definitely recommend the services provided. Thank you! - Justin F.
