Posted by Richard "RB" Botto

Happy Sunday Creative Army!

I've got my coffee and hand and your weekly dose of content coming in hot - grab your coffee of choice and let's dive right in.

First up, Outstanding Screenplays has curated a collection of 10 screenwriting tips from Oscar-Winning writer, Taiki Waititi (Jojo Rabbit, What We Do in The Shadows). Taiki talks about how to make your characters relatable and funny, writing by hand first, and the importance of listening to your own voice and following your own career path. 

Next up, on the theme of getting advice from great leaders in their fields, Evan Carmichael has collected gems of wisdom from the queen of acting - Meryl Streep (Little Women, Big Little Lies, The Iron Lady). Meryl passionately speaks about the importance of empathy, learning from the rough times, working hard, and more.
