No Perfect Moments: The Art of Showing Up for Your Story

It's been months since my last newsletter, a testament to how easily life can derail our creative intentions. Between work, family, and countless responsibilities, I began to lose sight of my writing.

I've learned a critical lesson: if you don't intentionally create time for your writing, your most cherished ideas will gradually fade away. Creativity isn't about waiting for the perfect moment—it's about making moments perfect through dedication. Small, consistent efforts are the lifeblood of your story. Whether it's fifteen minutes scribbling a scene or a focused hour during the weekend, these moments accumulate into something profound.

I used to be an early morning writer, dedicating 1-2 hours before the world awoke. Now, I've adapted. During winter, when early mornings feel impossible, I've found my writing rhythm on train rides to New York City and during lunch breaks.

The secret isn't finding the perfect time—it's about making the time you have work for you.

So maybe after reading this, you'll feel compelled to start writing the idea for your next film. You'll never know how your story can come to life if you don't dedicate time. I really want everyone to know that my path is just as messy as every other writer's, and I'll be sharing my own process so hopefully you can learn from it. This isn't about perfection—it's about progress, persistence, and believing in your creative journey.
