Oh good, another writer. I bet she'll have something interesting to say.
Look, I understand the market is absolutely saturated with blogs, but I can tell you are just dying to see which of my thoughtsicles are melting in the hot summer sun.
With Birch, Anne and Andi having agreed to come along on this ride, I decided we needed to have a kickoff meeting, similar to what I do when starting a new web project at work.
I decided to invite them over for brunch to celebrate the launch of the project and discuss the vision, characters and ideas. With Anne being gluten-free and my vegan diet, I think I put some undue pressure on myself there, but whether they liked the food or not, we got some great work done at that first meeting.
When Andi and I first met about doing the web series, she gave me some recommended reading, “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert. Kevin’s reaction was, “You mean that Eat Pray Love lady?” and Andi replied that it was an interesting exploration of creativity.
This has been a long time coming.
