Hey, welcome to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lafour. And I'm L'Orian McKenna.

We are professional screenwriters. We've worked together as a team and separately.

We've worked on studio and indie films, live action, and animation, from my work on Inside Out and

Captain Marvel.

To my work in Pixar Story Department on Up, Brave, and Inside Out.

We are here to share our insights on the craft of screenwriting and also the lights, how to not only survive the ups and

downs but thrive. We want to help you become the best screenwriter you can be and to reassure

you that you are not alone on this journey.

Hey guys, welcome back to the screenwriting life.

Welcome to our hundredth episode. Woo!

So yeah, a hundred episodes all while going through a pandemic together and of course we owe this to you our listeners so thank you

So to celebrate we're going to do something different today. We're going to be sharing a hundred lessons that we've learned about writing.

So three of us, Meg, Jeff, and I have brainstorm 33 lessons and we're going to share them with you sort of like rapper, rapid, rapper, rapper, I'm going to wrap it, not a good idea. We're going to share them with you rapid fire style after

adventures and screenwriting and it will be an experiment and we'll see how it goes.

I expect to be perfect at this.

But before we get to that, we're going to talk about our first segment,

or what we like to call Adventures and Screenwriting.

I will also say, for the astute listeners, I sound drunk, but in fact I just came back from the dentist

So half my face is numb yeah so if I have a little weird list or whatever, I, you know, you can pretend I'm trying, that'll be more fun.

Lorian, how is your week?

I just got back from a family trip or as some people who do not go on family trips call a vacation.

So yeah, I am really tired, right?
