Calling out to all actors, actresses, writers, video editors, and musicians! I want to dedicate this upcoming Summer to creating YouTube videos (comedy skits, short films, whatever it may be!) simply because it is something I'm interested in, and I would love to develop the skill set for it. Ideally, I would like to meet and publish a video at least once a week. Just remember, you're working with someone who has had no prior experience in any of this!

And if you don't write, but would love to be an alpha reader and someone to bounce ideas off, you are welcome too. All are welcome, but me …

Simply put, Content Strategy is... "the practice of planning for the creation, delivery, and governance of useful usable content." - Kristina Halvorson You've heard it before - "Content is King". It's been burned into our collective conscious for the last 10 years. We get it. We need content. Why are we creating content though? Who is editing that content? Who is creating it? When are we creating the content? How often? Where is it going to publish and how is it going to be delivered? Mobile? …

This is a meetup group for anyone who is enthusiastically interested in the topics relevant to Technical Writing and Instructional Design.

This group is for people interested in writing character-driven screenplays with strong narrative values. A screenplay isn't a novel, and it's not a film. It's a tool to get a critical mass of professionals together to make a film. The stronger the story and the more human the characters, the better the screenplay. Classic narrative structure will be encouraged as a respectful basis for script critique, as will analysis of classic and current films and scripts for technique. All genres welcome!

Taos Tribe is a fabulous “soul family” made up of creatives, artists, writers, visionaries, healers, changemakers, and those who want to be any of those things but don't feel they are just yet. This group was inspired by several of my coaching clients who all mentioned how they wished they had a group of people in their lives who really understood them and spoke their language. They wanted to have a place to be heard, seen, understood, and appreciated. So often, we live our lives in a somewhat s …
