Day Off Today? Here’s How to Use It…


Hi Reader,

What better way to spend Labor Day than by taking a break from the 9-5 grind… and finally pursuing something you’ve always wanted to try?

If you’ve ever thought about writing a screenplay, now’s the perfect time. Because for a limited time only, I’m offering $100 off enrollment in Zero to Hero: Screenwriting for Beginners.

Zero to Hero is a 12-week, live online program where I’ll guide you step by step through writing your very first screenplay. By the end, you’ll have:

✅ A finished 10–15 page short script you can actually be proud of.

✅ The confidence to call yourself a screenwriter.

✅ A system you can use again and again to write more scripts.

✅ Support and feedback from me and a small group of fellow writers.

Think about it: movies don’t start with cameras or actors or budgets. They start with a script. And if you’ve ever sat in a theater and thought, “I could write something better than this” - then this is your moment to prove it!

But don’t wait too long - because the course is filling up fast.

Just use my special code: NEIL100 and get $100 off (for a limited time only)!

Take this Labor Day as your first step toward the stories you’ve always wanted to tell.

See you inside!

Neil

Hi Reader, Fear is sneaky. It whispers: “You’re not ready.” Or worse: “What if you fail?” But here’s the truth: sooner or later, if you want to accomplish anything, especially writing - a screenplay, a novel, a short story, a poem - you have to stop dreaming about it and start doing it. Almost everyone I meet tells me they’ve got a movie idea. A story they’ve been carrying around for years. But most people never put it on the page. They would rather tell me the idea in the far-fetched hope...

Hi Reader, Let’s talk about experience. The dictionary definition is "practical contact with and observation of facts or events" - which is another way of saying "familiarity with something from learning about it or doing it". Now, everyone knows experience makes you better. But what does that actually mean for writers? How do you get experience as a writer? How do you get better? Here are the top three ways: Every time you write, you gain experience. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s bad....

Hi Reader, Be honest with me for a second — how many times have you said: “I’ve got a great idea for a movie… I just haven’t started writing it yet.” Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Almost every new writer hits the same roadblocks before they even type “FADE IN.” I should know - it happened to me too! I was nervous to start writing, and when I tried, I quickly gave up. It all seemed beyond me! But I didn't give up. I'll be honest, I think I was just too stubborn to quit. So I read a ton of...
