inspiration

Out of all of the challenges that I’ve done over the past couple of years, I can say that BGC has inspired my current project the most. Not that Buffy or Battlestar Galactica or Star Wars don’t play a role, because they 100% do, but it’s more in the spirit of things than anything else.

With each one of these challenges, it gets harder and harder to say what inspires me about whatever series/movie/comic book/podcast/etc. I have chosen for the month because … well, a lot of it is the same. I’m inspired by the character creation, the world building, the themes, the social commentary, the dialogue, what I don’t

I really can’t think of any other piece of cinema or literature that has influenced me in the way that Star Wars has. It was my first love and remains a comfort for me. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been able to look at it more critically than I did when I first saw it,

Parks and Recreation will always hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life. It has such a dedication to its persistent sunny optimism that it will always bring a smile to my face, even on my worst days. But the show is so much more than just cheerful characters having

I just started writing the reboot of my own series, The Legion, and it’s A Process. Like … seriously. I think I have put so much more work into this go-round than I did the first time, and I was in no way slacking on that front. And while I’m still proud of the original novellas

If there was any show that has inspired me more than any other, it is 100% Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can’t even deny it; many shows have inspired me as a writer afterward (Parks and Recreation, Battlestar Galactica, and Orphan Black, just to name a few), but none of those even hold a candle to how much
