The One About Pressure

Every writer wants the secret to career success. It's not technique. It's not connections. Those are important, but it's really about what's INSIDE YOU. How do you navigate the INTERNAL joys and challenges of living as a writer in TV and Film? On The Secret Writer Podcast, Nick Jobe and Steve Harper, writers, and script consultants/coaches, examine the "secret" inner world of the writing process for TV, film, and theater - as a way to prepare you for a long and fruitful writing career.

In this episode, we discuss the PRESSURE of working with well-known talent, and how best to comport yourself in a high-stakes pitch. Looking back on our own experiences we tackle the idea of PROJECTING ZEN in the face of high-status entertainment folks, dig into how new DAD LIFE is teaching Nick about creativity, and reflect on the evolution of our show's MESSAGE two years in.
