Hello, my name is Thomas J. Bellezza, and welcome to The Write Mindset. The short, short version: for ten years I've been a script doctor and story consultant, helping writers get their thoughts organized onto the page by outlining, writing, or guiding them. Since the 90's, I've been in the entertainment industry, writing my own scripts, novels, poetry, music, and lyrics for a living.

Podcast Mission:

To educate writers on the craft of writing through my knowledge of how I was taught, learned, and currently teach my clients. My focus is on narrative, outlining, brainstorming, and both character and plot development in general, which can be applied to novels or scripts.

A secondary aspect of this channel will be analyzing (and reviewing) films (new and old), novels, and occasionally there will be interviews with writers to get their insight on the craft of writing.

My tertiary goals will be to elaborate on the business of writing.

Work, grow, and rise together! Peace in harmony as your develop The Write Mindset.
