  • Summary

  • Hello, my name is Thomas J. Bellezza, and welcome to The Write Mindset. The short, short version: for ten years I've been a script doctor and story consultant, helping writers get their thoughts organized onto the page by outlining, writing, or guiding them. Since the 90's, I've been in the entertainment industry, writing my own scripts, novels, poetry, music, and lyrics for a living.

    Podcast Mission:

    To educate writers on the craft of writing through my knowledge of how I was taught, learned, and currently teach my clients. My focus is on narrative, outlining, brainstorming, and both character and plot development in general, which can be applied to novels or scripts.

    A secondary aspect of this channel will be analyzing (and reviewing) films (new and old), novels, and occasionally there will be interviews with writers to get their insight on the craft of writing.

    My tertiary goals will be to elaborate on the business of writing.

    Work, grow, and rise together! Peace in harmony as your develop The Write Mindset.

  • A Discussion About Writing And Substance In A Novel With Author Jody J Sperling

    A Discussion About Writing And Substance In A Novel With Author Jody J Sperling
    Dec 6 2024
    Jody J. Sperling and I excitedly go over the Brandon Sanderson record-breaking Kickstarter campaign news. We explore the value of giving knowledge away for free to build a community. The more our community of authors and this industry have, the greater the community can become. The conversation dives into the "me perspective" vs. the "we perspective" when individuals help others for the benefit of themselves or to better the community. Jody dives into his passion for his desire to want success as a writer since a young age. The question is how a writer should or could prep their pitch to bring it to publishers, agents, and the overall effort to option (shop) their projects to people. It's all about working, growing, and rising together, to keep the creative flow growing as we develop "The Write Mindset."
