Hello creatives,
Happy Week 4 of the NWC.
First, I’d like to thank Anglin for his excellent article—so much hope, clarity, and information to help everyone prepare better pitch sessions and increase their chances of hearing “yes.”
My main project right now is The Silent PFC War.
I talk about it constantly because I truly believe it brings something new, with a powerful message to share.
I want to share the inspiration behind it.
It all comes from neuroscience—the dream I never got to pursue, but maybe one day.
I’ve always been fascinated by the human brain and mind: how we think, how we create ideas, what makes us intelligent, and what makes us different.
I was reading medical books out of curiosity and love for the subject.
All of that led me to a new question:
What would happen if we lost access to the PFC?
The PFC—the prefrontal cortex—is the part of the brain responsible for critical thinking, decision-making, developing complex ideas, and many more functions.
My story is also a celebration of what makes us human.
We often think intelligence belongs only to scientists, engineers, or philosophers.
But every small act that shapes our daily life is an act of intelligence:
A mother doing her daughter’s hair and helping her get ready for school.
A baker creating a birthday cake.
A child helping a blind person cross the street.
Every form of intelligence matters. Every action is meaningful.
I remember when I first started developing this story.
I was walking in the street, watching people living their normal lives.
Suddenly I felt something different—a deep appreciation for their humanity, their intelligence.
I felt grateful that my nightmare was only a story, and that they were living peacefully.
When we see The Silent PFC War,
we understand what makes us human,
we celebrate every act of intelligence,
we celebrate science and technology,
and we work together to protect all of it.

Meriem Bouziani I love this Meriem, and I feel this is the vibe, that unique, authentic vibe, you bring with your voice, in your pitches. Definitely would want to know more if I were on the other side of you.

Happy Week 4 of November Write Club, Meriem Bouziani! I definitely think you should put the inspiration for The Silent PFC War in your pitch. I would request the script just from that if I was a producer, executive, etc.

thank you very much Juliana Philippi
I'm so happy to hear
at least my bigger dream of being neuroscientist never dies it becomes my sci-fi unique voice

I see we share a keen interest! I'm fascinated by the human mind and brain. I bend more toward the psychological side than the biological and chemical side.
Those interests are what makes you the expert on your story. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that blog post was talking about.
Way to bring it!

Thank you very much, Maurice Vaughan.
I’m truly happy to hear that.
This is genuinely the story behind The Silent PFC War.
I was prepared to explain it to my first executive, but I ran out of time because I talked too much about the story itself.
Next time, I’ll do better.

Thank you very much for your encouragement Elle Bolan
Psychology is also incredibly important — it actually completes neuroscience, especially when we study human behavior and how our thoughts and memories shape our personalities.

I'm on page 18 and I can’t wait to continue it…and see what will happen next.

I forgot something here.
We also celebrate art.
We celebrate human history.
And we work together to protect all of it.

You have a great grasp on your story. That passion is what will let people be interested. You have this, Meriem Bouziani. I know it's difficult when you're tackling such a rich subjet that most people never considered. Considering you can't live without it, the concept of it being so highly damaged, what happens and when is a huge thing- childhood, adulthood, and what was done to help support the neuro-growth in other parts of the brain to help support the functions which remain. Definitely has one thinking on the daily deeds we do and how it can highly impact us. Thanks for this insight.

Thank you very much for your encouragement. I’m truly happy you like my story’s topic Cynna Ael
This is such an important point about the PFC and the brain. The PFC doesn’t work in isolation — it functions in full synchronization with other regions, and any disruption to it will inevitably affect the rest of the brain and even the entire body.
That’s why the stakes keep escalating in the story.
I’ve been trying to contact real neuroscientists to fact-check the long-term symptoms, alongside my own research and the questions I ask ChatGPT.
I really feel everything in this story.
It keeps challenging me to think about things and focus on details I never noticed before.
And I hope I can share all of that with everyone—the same way I feel it, and the same way I’m learning from it myself.

Well, this crazy world won’t stop growing.
I’ve just added some new twists that turned it into a full 5D disaster.
