Hi All it's Andre' again, as we all know all 3 unions will be negotiating soon and we are all going to feel the bad and the good of these times.. Since I have no control over that or it's time to resolution what I can do is share with you some tools that might help you. I teach branding at a design college in LA (FIDM) and what I teach my students is branding is not only critical for your products/services but your personal brand as well.
You might have heard the term Brand Mantra or Brand Essence. It's a phrase that summarizes what is the core or essence of a brand. So my "homework" assignment for you is what is the " core or heart & soul"? of your personal brand. When someone sees your name on your twitter/instagram/facebook pages what do you want people to think? I suggest a 3 word format BrandMantra/Essence in this order, Adjective, Adjective, Noun. For example a group thought Madonna's essence would be " audacious sexual chameleon" What would yours be? " cool sophisticated writer" ? Happy Branding Yourself!
Your friend in the struggle.

Thanks for sharing with everyone, Andre' Barnwell. I started doing this a little while back. I can write in different genres, but I wanted producers, directors, etc. to see me as a Horror Thriller writer, so I put "Horror Thriller" on my profiles, focused on pitching Horror and Thriller scripts, and made my new profile picture (me in the woods scared -- like in a Horror movie).

I love this Andre' Barnwell ! Going to do some pondering on this one. At one point, I had a tagline on my website that said, "science fiction for the human condition" but rethought that because that's what all scifi really is. I like your formula.

Hi Maurice now that you have narrowed yourself to a Horror/Thriller writer what two adjectives and noun describe your style of Horror/Thriller? ie Shocking, Unapologetic, Truth-teller
