What do you get when you cross a life coach with a screenwriter? That’s what we’re going to find out today, as we meet Jenna Avery!
Jenna Avery is a screenwriter who devoted the last year to redesigning her life to support her passion for writing. Her most recently completed project is a sci-fi action script called “Progeny.” She is also a life coach and the founder of the Writer’s Circle — an online “Just Do The Writing” accountability system — designed to help writers get the support, accountability, and inspiration they need to finish all their writing projects and get their work into the world. Jenna blogs about writing, creativity, and life purpose at JennaAvery.com.
Jenna and Gray talk at length about the many blocks that writers face, and what it takes to get our butts in the seat!
