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

Had a not only survived the ups and downs, but thrives.

We want to help you become the best screenwriter you can be

and to reassure you that you are not alone on this journey. What is up, TSL family?

Welcome back to the show.

We are so excited about this show.

Again, I mean, we're excited every week, but we have another live special for you guys.

This week, we were very excited to see that Savannah Morgan

from the London Screenwriters Festival

reached out to us to see if we could kind of fill in a last minute slot.

And of course, we eagerly said yes.

We love that festival. We love the conversations that that

festival facilitates. And this week is no exception. Megan Lorian talked with Chris Jones,

who moderated a beautiful conversation about sort of why we write,

and what are the deeper emotional and even spiritual reasons that we feel in need to write.

And I thought it to be just an incredibly motivating and inspiring conversation

in a time when I really needed it.

So it feels like a very quintessential TSL classic conversation.
