People Helping People

Thank you to the Rouge Waver who stepped up to my request to mentor a young writer from Romania. This is unbelievably good karma; there are so many aspiring writers out there who just don't have the resources to get where they need to go. The Wave-inatrix is a big believer in encouragement - as you all know by now. Sometimes it just takes that ONE person to help someone realize their dreams with their belief and elbow grease. What an incredible opportunity to be that person who makes a difference. I have had many mentors in my life and continue to benefit from their support and wisdom. So many have believed in the Wave-inatrix, through thick and thin and thin and thin. It's something I'll never forget.

Many of us in the US are a bit spoiled; we all have computers and internet access and relationships and money to spend on screenwriting publications and competitions. But this is not true for everybody. What goes around comes around; if there is someone you know who needs a mentor - offer up your services. It goes a long way toward building a better world. Even in something as seemingly esoteric as writing. Without art, who are we, really? It's what makes us human.
