[Leigh Medeiros, Part 1]: The power of figuring out your own Venn diagram of interests + some pretty awesome attention hacks Ep 1035
Manage episode 398173619 series 3378197
Lee Medeiros is an award-winning screenwriter, author, and all-around creative who, when she isn't making her own work, is helping others make theirs. Leigh is the author of the One Minute Writer, 396 Micro Prompts to Spark Creativity and Recharge Your Writing. She also writes a column for Script Magazine called The Climate Screenwriter, is the co-producer of the Writing Climate Pitch Fest, and founded the Linden Place Writer's Residency in Bristol, Rhode Island.
I am lucky enough to know Leigh in person, and every time I see her, I feel like my batteries get recharged and I just wanna give her a huge hug and take in every word that she says, like manna from heaven.
In this first part of her interview, we unpack:
How screenwriting is like a bad boyfriend
How her focus on writing screenplays with a climate angle is the perfect intersection of her personal Venn diagram
Using fellowships to spur new ideas (whether you actually get them or not)
The podcasts that lit a fire under Leigh’s butt to start writing about climate
How “merging your siloes” uplevels your work and your being
Leigh’s morning cacao ceremony and the unexpected beings she shares it with
The hacks she uses to stay focused when actually trying to, you know, write
Superheroes have capes–writers should have a talisman, too
