BE BOSSY. Don’t be afraid to stand up and make your voice heard, ladies. If you have a solution for a problem, say it. Fix it. Make your project better, even if all the men around you are floundering. Be the rock star I know you to be. Quiet women rarely change the world, my […]
COSPLAY. Lord have mercy, y’all. I’m spending my weekend with a bunch of nerds, and I couldn’t be happier. However, I have one little gripe: I hear people saying that if you’re a cute girl and your cosplay is in any way inaccurate, there’s some negativity coming your way. Why? Probably because people assume that […]
EMBRACING YOUR FEMININITY. Yeah, I said it. Be who you are, whoever that is. If you’re going into a situation where you know you’ll accomplish your goal by presenting yourself (and therefore your project) in a certain way, there is no shame in doing so. So go out there, be who you are and who […]
PERSPECTIVE. I know, it feels like the world is crushing you. And you feel like maybe you should just walk away from it all. But remember these two things: 1. You are still here, after all the bad things that have happened in your past, so this bad thing won’t break you. 2. This […]
CREDIT. It’s hard, sometimes, to ask for the credit you deserve, especially when you’re not the sole provider of inspiration, writing, designing, etc. But when you give your time, effort, and love to a project, you should never, EVER be left feeling left out or not given the same credit as someone else. So fight […]
EX-RELATIONSHIPS. Not ex-partners, that’s way too much to talk about in half an hour. But ex-relationships, the baggage they create, mourning their deaths, the lessons you learn from them, and the pieces of them you carry with you in the future…yeah, there’s something to talk about. Maybe the key isn’t to avoid having baggage, or […]
HUSTLE. Not the hustle to make ends meet, we all know about that. I’m talking about the hustle to make your movie. The days when you’d rather pray for death than think about the eighty million things that need to go right in order for you to get that one important shot, the moments when […]
ADVENTURE. I’ve discovered, over the course of my varied and often turbulent dating life, that learning and growing together is imperative to building a healthy and long-lasting relationship. But this isn’t just about romantic love. The need for adventure and shared experiences extends to other types of relationships, and that has never been more apparent […]
FOCUS. You. Yes, you. Stop trying to do every job on your project. Build a team that will stick by you, do their jobs, and let you do yours. When you don’t give up control over something you can’t handle, the thing you actually are good at will suffer. I’ve seen it firsthand. I’ve made […]
