Actor, Screenwriter, & Comedian
I write comedy for television.
My writing process starts with walking aimlessly around a park or mall. Then I'll sit and write the scene to warm up my brain. It'll be simple and formatted as a screenplay on my writing software. It puts me in a creative headspace and keeps me sharp and observant of the world around me. I may talk to my manager about upcoming meetings with production companies who are interested in my work. I may do a podcast. I'll also write a few pages of a comic book I've been asked to do for Marvel Comics.
Here's the first step for everyone
The path to do what I do is so vastly different for everyone. There are TV writers who went to school for it and some who went to school for literally anything else. I've actively sought mentorship from artists and writers that I respect and admire. I ask questions while also being respectful of their time. Regardless of what you're passionate about, the big thing is to always strive to hone your craft.
