Did I use too many adjectives jsut now?

This is such a treasure of information and inspiration! As an aspiring screenwriter/director this is my go to to keep me accountable and to keep writing when I’m lazy or overwhelmed and feeling insecure. The amount of successful professional guests on this show makes this podcast top notch!

I like this podcast, although there are times when techniques simply don’t work for me. The one example I can remember was the recent episode on “lazy storytelling.” The method of brainstorming, outlining — I couldn’t get anything going even though it was designed to be easy.

Honestly, my favorite part of the podcast is the theme song. So if it’s a topic that piques my interest even a little, I’ll download and listen at least for the music. :)
