Hi Friend,

This week I made a huge decision to get started on funding my short film sooner than I'd anticipated because Kickstarter will be highlighting all short films in March.


I've rewritten the script and later today my team and I will talk about next steps. So exciting.


Follow me on Kickstarter to get notified when we go live. 


I'll announce all the details in my newsletter too.


I have lots of educational resources and upcoming trainings for you below to enjoy and take advantage of.


And for inspiration, I want to share with you my favorite Star Trek concert. From 2018, Film Music Prague Festival produced this STAR TREK CONCERT which was a celebration of 50th Anniversary of this franchise.

Now on to this week's podcast!


🎧

In this week's episode, I continue my chat with Vanessa Sage, a trained mindfulness-based coach, teacher, writer, conscious leadership and business mentor, and friend.


We talked about:

  • the Barbie movie and how that sparked this episode

  • what the term "bad-good girls" means

  • listening to the negative opinions of others

  • the Wild Woman Archetype

  • letting women be wild with their own voices

To listen or read this episode's transcript, go here (Writer's Fun Zone):




The How To Write The Future podcast is for science fiction and fantasy writers who want to write positive futures and successfully bring those stories out into the marketplace.




Enjoy!


Next week's episode: Stay tuned for the upcoming 2024 events in the futurists and foresight world I'm excited about.

About


“Beth is able to “zoom in” on an individual writer’s blocks, at the same time providing a group process that allows everyone to benefit. Beth’s ability to support and gently challenge her authors is wonderful and led me–as I’m sure it has led many others–to uncover layers of character motivation that I had not been aware of in my novel.”

— Rachael Pruitt

All with no extra expense by…

  • Assessing your strengths and weaknesses.

  • Focusing on genre.

  • Centering your character.

  • Aligning language.
