My writing journey and the biggest milestones of my pilot script. From the awkward start until the final push.
Unleash the big sister!
In my family, I am the firstborn. The one that would need to go through all the strict parenting because your parents don't have any clue yet. You're their first try. The experiment. The desperate "let's not fuck this up!". How strict is "too strict"? And how fast does this first kid need to learn … Continue reading Unleash the big sister!
Reflection Time: How did I become a writer?
Lately, I've been seeing questions like these: What tv show/movie did want you to become a screenwriter? Which book inspired you to become a writer? Who inspired you to be a writer? And I'm sure most writers can easily answer them. They can tell you the exact moment, movie, book, or show that made them … Continue reading Reflection Time: How did I become a writer?
The Independent Woman – A Rage Letter
I remember the day like it was yesterday. I remember how my drunk uncle grinned at me at a family's dinner with his blurry eyes as the rest of my family sat around us and didn't say anything. They avoided looking at me as if that would make the statement he just made not real. … Continue reading The Independent Woman – A Rage Letter

Normally, I don't write … Continue reading Sarah Survived

Comic: Working in Sales during a pandemic
For about five months I've been working in sales during a pandemic and it's been challenging, but also kind of fun. Everyone who works in sales knows that customers are the spice during work. They can be awesome and kind, but they can also be a pain in the ass. No matter what, you can … Continue reading Comic: Working in Sales during a pandemic

Well, well, well, here we are! Finally it's 2021! A new year with new hopes, new dreams, and a "WTF, is happening in the US!?" ... We can't get a break, can we?

Red Is For Revenge
"Red Is For Revenge" is an adaption of "Red Riding Hood", a Brothers Grimm fairytale that I wrote for an assignment at Vancouver Film School. I chose this fairytale because I've always had a big love for fairytales, mythology, and legends. Maybe it's because I grew up with brutal and crazy German tales? German (Fairy)Tales … Continue reading Red Is For Revenge
