3 Big Takeaways

1. It's important to write the stories that stick with you
2. Don't always rush something into publication. It's often worth it for you to wait until it's fully fleshed out.
3. Character is vital to telling a great story.

Favorite Quote
"...when I started discovering other movies like dramas that I really really really enjoyed. I started finding the whole character arcs and seeing how filmmakers and writers like develop the plot points and characters when I started falling in love with that more. So, I do love the thriller.

I just think it's such a great genre to help build tension and kind of feel a little claustrophobic and who hasn't ever felt like they just have the world on their shoulders and, yeah, you know what I mean I think that a lot of people can relate, even if it is like wild circumstances."
