do you need writer therapy?

Um, if you're a writer the answer to this question is most probably a resounding Yes! Because while writers are awesome and amazing, brilliant and eloquent (ha!), they also tend to be a little . . . well, um . . . eccentric.

Don't try to deny it. You know it's true.

Last month a wonderful new resource hit the interwebz and just in case you missed the big ta da! I'm here to introduce you to Writer Therapy--and entertain you with my mad ninja skillz.

From their website . . .
Writer Therapy is a comedy/drama webseries (12 episodes, 4-10 mins per episode) about best friends, true love, and most of all: writing that first novel. The web series follows the life and laughs of a critique group as they (try to) finish their manuscripts and get published. 

The first season kicks off with Chersti, a recent college grad who has just finished her first manuscript. Fortunately, she has her critique group to help her through the querying process. Though the groups’ crazy antics—including everything from stalking famous authors to striking out on a personal quest—might deter them from actually writing, it is perfect research for their books, which will obviously be the BIGGEST thing since Harry Potter or Hunger Games. 

You can watch the videos either on youtube or our website.

Check out this webisode in which I try to teach this band of misfits how to write a proper fight scene:


Now get writing! Ai-yah!

  6. My favorite part is how you pull the swords out of nowhere! That was so funny to film because the swords kept getting stuck! :-D

  9. Being "knocked out" didn't hurt at all. It was you tripping over me for 15-bazillion takes that hurt! :)
