The Write Mindset

By: Thomas J Bellezza
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • Working Together In The Writing Community with Author Emma Bennet
    Nov 8 2024
    'Emma grew up and lived in London, before falling in love and moving to Wales to marry her own hero. Emma now lives with her husband and four children in a small Welsh market town. She can often be found in rivers attempting to control two overexcited chocolate Labradors, whose snoring features in many of her YouTube videos. Emma likes (in no particular order): cake, books, Cary Grant films, coffee, chocolate, guinea pigs, knitting, quilting, and happily ever afters!'

  • Bringing Magic To Your Life With Author Ash D. Collins (Awyn Dawn)
    Aug 14 2024
    I had a blast speaking with Author Ash D. Collins (Awyn Dawn) on this episode of The Write Mindset. What began as a conversation about her 111 Magic book naturally morphed into a conversation on the craft of writing. She really brought a lot of great energy, as there was laughter, knowledge, and magic! ~ May our efforts help the community work, grow, and rise together, and keep developing "The Write Mindset." Thomas J. Bellezza #ThomasJBellezza #TheWriteMindset #AuthorsAsOne ASH D. COLLINS / AWYN DAWN | https://linktr.ee/ashdcollins Writing under the name Awyn Dawn, Ash D. Collins wrote her first book in 2020. This work, Paganism for Prisoners, won the Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR) gold award in 2021. After publishing her second book the following year, Collins moved to London to earn her MFA in Creative Writing with an emphasis on fiction. She has since written her third book, 111 Magic, which is scheduled for release this year. She has contributed to two anthologies and written several magazine articles, most notably for Spirituality and Health Magazine and Witchology, and appeared briefly on the BBC. When she is not writing, Collins teaches creative writing classes, hosts workshops, and does media and public speaking engagements for audiences of all ages. Her free time is spent beekeeping and exploring historical sites throughout Europe. She can be booked for public appearances by visiting linktr.ee/ashdcollins or by contacting her through her social media @ashd_collins on IG/X.
