[Leigh Medeiros, practical matters]: The power of figuring out your own Venn diagram of interests + some pretty awesome focus hacks Ep1134
Leigh Medeiros is an award-winning screenwriter, author, and all-around creative who, when she isn't making her own work, is help others make theirs. Leigh is the author of "The One-Minute Writer: 396 Micro Prompts to Spark Creativity and Recharge Your Writing." She also write a column for Script Magazine called "The Climate Screenwriter," is the co-producer of the Writing Climate Pitch Fest, and founded the Linden Place Writer's Residency in Bristol, Rhode Island (where, full disclosure, I was a resident last year). Leigh is the kind of person who recharges your batteries--she's funny, feisty, thoughtful, and generous beyond measure.
In this first part of her interview, we unpack:
- How screenwriting is like a bad boyfriend
- How her focus on writing screenplays with a climate angle is the perfect intersection of her own personal Venn diagram
- Using fellowships to spur new ideas (whether you actually get them or not)
- The podcasts that list a fire under Leigh's butt to start writing about climate
- How "merging your siloes" uplevels your work and your being
- Leigh's morning cacao ceremony and the unexpected beings she shares it with
- The hacks she uses to stay focused when actually try to, you know, write
- Superheroes have capes--writers should have a talisman, too
