Bri Castellini on Stowe Story Lab Semifinals, Patreon, cute pup & more! – @brisownworld
TVWriter™’s fave indie filmmaker, Bri Castellini, is here to wish us a “Happy Spring!” complete with a cute dog pic.
Well, actually what she wrote is, Happy Spring Larry! because the following is from an email Bri sent him. But we’re all family here, yeah?
CJ (Calamity Jane) is similarly happy about the change in weather, because it means we go to the park on weekends way more often!

Stephanie Bourbon on Doing What You Love For A Living
LB’S NOTE: One of our fave TV writers-illustrators-screenwriters-vloggers, Stephanie Bourbon, gives us the kind of advice we all need to believe in…especially creators.

Here’s a little reminder if you are stuck in a rut!
DO WHAT YOU LOVE and accept nothing less for your life and career.
TRUTH ~ when my mother was sick with lung cancer about two months before she died when she knew it was growing again and she would need at least one more surgery that would probably leave her paralyzed from the waist down she said to me
“if I make it out of this, I’m going back to painting. I hate graphic design.”
I knew she wasn’t making it out of it. I hoped, but I knew she wasn’t going to, and this crushed me. I thought, “I don’t want to be dying and have regrets like that.” It changed the course of my life.
You see, society tells us from the moment we are born that we need to do certain things. Get a college degree, get married, own property, pop out some kids, and have a steady career that makes money. Art and everything creative is fine for a hobby but not for a career.
Why is that?
EVERYONE enjoys art.
Yes even those who pretend that they are so above it all that they don’t own a TV, go to the movies, go to concerts, etc.. and yes all that POP CULTURE stuff? All the commercial films and TV shows, and books, etc.. all that is ART TOO.

Time Now For A General Writing Tip
While a particular story that I read today remind me of this particular writing problem, what I’m saying in this space is in fact a tip I give QUITE OFTEN.
Never make us ask “is that character a fricking moron?” Or anything similar.
I mean, it’s okay if you WANT your character to be a moron. But if you do, make sure your intention is blisteringly obvious. Don’t make us ask.
