Action, Self-Love and Focus for 2021

Posted on December 31, 2020 by alithewriter • Leave a comment

What a year. Obviously there’s no need for me to recap 2020. We’re still in this pandemic, but at least there’s been encouraging news about vaccines so we’re not totally doomed. My resolution for 2020 was all about optimism, specifically to be more positive and to let go of negative thinking. My resolution for 2021 … Continue reading →

Grappling with Meaning: A Reflection on the Final Season of BoJack Horseman

Posted on November 18, 2020 by alithewriter • Leave a comment

Spoilers through the BoJack Horseman series finale ahead. I think each and every BoJack Horseman fan would agree that when we sat down to watch the first episode, we didn’t have the slightest idea what we’d be getting ourselves into with this show. An insightful look into the human condition is one way to put it. … Continue reading →

Over the summer, I signed up for Comic Book Writing with Ron Marz, a brand new class offered by Jacob Krueger Studio. Earlier this year, they began offering free Quarantini classes, where writers get together virtually each week and do writing exercises led by Jake and various special guests. One week, the guest was renowned … Continue reading →

The Infectious Joy of Watching Schitt’s Creek Sweep the 2020 Emmys

Schitt’s Creek made history at the 2020 Emmy Awards this past Sunday when it became the first show, comedy or drama, to win every single category for which it was nominated. It had been nominated in recent years but had never won until now, and with the series having concluded earlier this year, it made … Continue reading →

Black Lives Matter: How Empathy Begins with Education

Posted on June 29, 2020 by alithewriter • Leave a comment

As a white woman, I can’t relate to the racial bias that people of color experience in their everyday lives. Whether that bias is in the form of a microaggression, like being asked a seemingly innocuous question rooted in ignorance, or something intentionally racist and derogatory, like being the target of discrimination based on one’s … Continue reading →

Self-Care in the Coronavirus Quarantine

Posted on May 29, 2020 by alithewriter • Leave a comment

A lot has changed since I first wrote about the coronavirus outbreak in March. We’ve all been social distancing and working from home these past few months, and everyone is required to wear masks and maintain six feet apart when out in public. Now, as business slowly start to reopen in phases and more and more … Continue reading →

The coronavirus has been at the forefront of the news cycle over the past few weeks, and sadly the widespread disease shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. It’s a pandemic affecting everyone around the world to the point where it feels like we’re in the midst of a real-life apocalypse akin to the … Continue reading →

Green with Envy: A Look at Jealousy

Posted on February 27, 2020 by alithewriter • Leave a comment

Jealousy, at its core, is an ugly feeling. It’s anger and resentment wrapped up in unhappiness, a prickling and selfish, quietly seething rage. It ultimately makes us feel bad about ourselves because we want something someone else has, whether it’s success or a relationship or a skill. Yet, it’s also an extremely honest emotion. Just … Continue reading →

My Immersive Experience Trying Improv

Posted on February 12, 2020 by alithewriter • Leave a comment

For years I’ve contemplated taking an improv course for a number of reasons—namely, to step outside my comfort zone—and over the weekend, I finally tried it by taking a free two-hour intro to improv class. It both was and wasn’t what I was expecting, and I mean each of those in a good way. When … Continue reading →

Write What You Love: Finding Inspiration

Posted on February 5, 2020 by alithewriter • 2 Comments

If you listen to my podcast, Storytelling Saga, you know that my sign-off for every episode is “remember, write what you love.” It’s similar to the well-known phrase, “write what you know,” since personal is universal, and there’s no better way to write something authentically than to have experienced it yourself firsthand. When I bring … Continue reading →
