"5AM StoryTalk means I never stop constructing sentences that matter to me, which is great for my creative muscles." I found this a compelling way of describing creative practice.

Writing for me is a daily practice, one I can never skip, so I can't help but describe it this way.

“I get excited about an idea and can’t stop myself.” So great to feel Cole’s passion for the arts and his unwavering desire to pursue topics that light him up. Very inspiring interview!

My Substack is, if anything, a passion project. It's something I'm compelled to do, but I try to overlap that passion for the arts with what I wish I'd been told when I was in the early days of my career as a screenwriter and, eventually, graphic novel writer and author.
