So if you haven’t heard, the Jupmode Here for Good T-shirt sale started this week. If you are a screenwriter, or just want to support our group that works with local writers and filmmakers, you can buy a shirt. The modest amount we make will be used locally for our meetups and maybe a cake for our 10th Anniversary year (News on that later). While you are on the site check out the other cool shirts from local artists and nonprofits. The FilmToledo one is so cool, check it out. You’ve only got until March 22nd to order so don’t miss out!
On to screenwriting. What do you do to keep yourself motivated in this distracting world? I have to turn everything off and lock myself in my office. Lately the WGF (Writers Guild Foundation) library has been hosting online work sessions. This has helped me refocus on my new script development. Basically it’s a zoom call where you can ask questions in the chat but everyone is there to just work quietly.
What do you think about Glass City Screenwriters doing this on a weekly basis? At the next meetup we will talk about it and set the times and “rules”. Think of it as an accountability group. Like office hours to work on stuff and ask questions of the group.
The next meetup is March 21st 12:30 pm at the Oregon Branch Library. We are back in our normal Meeting room near the entrance, see you soon!
Momentum
Life has so many twists and turns, redirection, delays, explosions. Maybe not actual explosions, but you feel the boom!
What may feel like a setback should never totally derail your plans to move in the direction of your dreams. Forward Momentum Always!
This month our meetup is Saturday February 21st 12:30pm at Oregon Library. We are in the smaller interior room this time. Come share and get feedback on your work in progress or general questions, you know we love to bring positivity and motivation, we’re in this together!
The Jupmode Here for Good program will be kicking off in March. This is the chance to support your local businesses and nonprofit organizations (especially the art related ones) simply by buying a really cool Jupmode t-shirt. It’s only a short window for purchase so we will share it multiple times on social media. We have a new design this year and we can’t wait to reveal it soon!
