I've been meaning to post something on here about how amazing the MFA workshop was in LA, but in addition to feeling like I hadn't yet found the right words, time is also something that's been a bit lacking lately. Therefore, I've decided to post my favorite quotes from the lectures.
Some of the best scenes are silent. - Jane Anderson
Conflict is not inherently dramatic – a tennis match is a conflict. You have to care for there to be drama. – Paul Gulino
Writing is telling lies that speak the truth. – Deborah Starr Seibel
If the story doesn’t end when a character gets what they want/need, then the story wasn’t ever about them. – Jon Vandergriff
Get yourself in the room – invite yourself to the meeting. - Laura Brennan (good advice for life in general!)
Happy to help, not eager to please. - Alex Fernandez
We need to push ourselves to show our vulnerability to the point of writing something that makes us want to puke. - Meg Lefauve.
