Ali Schouten-Seeks
Writing Coach

Don't just write it. Run it.

About

Having trouble getting started? Figuring out where to go? Staying motivated? I've been there, and had a 200-person crew that needed me to get back in the flow. As a showrunner, you don't get to tap out on a creative project. You hit your deadlines and keep going.That's the approach I use in my coaching. You aren't just writing a pilot. We're launching a TV show. You have a great idea for a novel. Let's make it a book. You're not playing around with a script. We are making a movie. I treat your passion project like my job, using the same methods for organization and creative generation I used while running three seasons of the iCarly revival. I'm juggling a movie, a novel, two pilots and a toddler, and they still work for me. I believe the key to staying inspired is to stay organized. That's why I take a 360-degree approach, personalizing your plan of action to your individual needs and goals. And while I'm using color-coded post-its to plan the next three months of your life, you're actually writing.
