As actors, we sometimes feel like we’re at the centre of an entire film production but we need to remind ourselves that we’re there to bring a vision to life and that vision is the script. So on this episode of the Second Act Actors podcast, I’m talking to screenwriter Courtney Harrell about where her ideas come from and how she translates them into words.

Courtney lays out her journey and tells me how she got into writing. We dive into her ‘Snuggles and Horror’ genre and where she gets her inspiration from. Courtney gives a lot of practical advice about the discipline of writing, telling me her technique to avoid writers’ block. We also celebrate the journey of finding yourself and finding success in a creative profession, where too often we applaud the people who’ve made it without supporting them along their journey.   

If you’re looking for your place in the film industry and have the germ of an idea that you want to bring to life, this episode of Second Act Actors is for you. Listen all the way through to hear Courtney’s advice for aspiring writers and actors and make sure to rate and review the podcast to help other people to find it.
