Leesa Dean: Adventures of a Web Series Newbie – Chapter 12

Adventures of a Web Series Newbie - Chapter 12: Busy!Busy
by Leesa Dean

Another really exciting week. Working simultaneously on four different shows (will be able to write more about some of them soon) plus continuing with Chilltown and theLele show. Thought I was busy before, but man….Sometimes I feel so stretched out I don’t know how I’m gonna come up with new ideas, but luckily, I haven’t had writer’s block.  Yet. I know a few people going through it right now and it ain’t pretty!  So some odds and ends:

First, HNS Mag, which caters to up-and-coming hip-hop artists, loves both Chilltown and Lele’s Ratchet Advice Show. They did article about the shows, thought it would be a cool idea to have Lele pose, pin-up style and asked if I’d be into putting something together. I’m very protective about my brand and didn’t want to do something that was really salacious–Lele’s just not that type of girl. I mean, literally. Her character would never pose naked in Playboy or do something really vulgar. The premise of her show is to make fun of stuff like that.

Ended up doing a draft of her posing a la Marilyn Monroe, wearing a halter top and cut-offs. They loved it! And they’re putting it on the COVER (will post when it’s out!!) Needless to say, very excited about it. They have a fair-sized circulation and I’m hoping it brings more brand awareness. read article

Have you ever thought about making your own webseries? Got a great idea you really want to bring to fruition? Of course you do, you’re a writer. So do it. Nowadays, anyone can make a webseries or a short – yes, even you.

Many people believe that they aren’t able to do what they want because they lack money and they don’t know anyone who will do what they need for free. At this point I say, well, then just do it yourself. read article
