Description

In E1 of my fourth season, I officially start with my pitch critique segments. First, I cover the essential parts of a pitch, then I break down the trailer and premise for the movie YESTERDAY (which was really fun!) and create a Twitter-sized pitch out of the trailer version. Then, I critique two pitches sent in by two writers. After, I chat with author, coach, motivational speaker, and mother of four, Rachael Amarante. We talk about:

society’s expectations of women and mothers
how our successes in all facets of life stem from how we view ourselves and the world from the inside out
choosing to move forward instead of always looking back to what was “normal”
collaborating with other authors on a project
working on her memoir
not pigeonholing yourself into any one genre
allowing yourself to “winter” to figure out what your goals are and make a plan to reach them
how “me time” is a necessity
looking for and recognizing joy in your everyday life
advice for mom writers who struggle to stay on course with their writing goals
using writing sprints and writing prompts to help your creativity
the bs part of motherhood
book recommendations
