Working with writers reminds me, every day, of why I return to this craft and this occupation.

For me, storytelling and crafting stories/poems/films/essays is a "preoccupation" more than anything else. To engage with you is a genuine joy.

That being said, this craft is as complex as building a world, a reality, an argument, a life. We'll work on everything from plot structure, to delivery of information, characterization, connotation/messaging, alignment, intentional/motivated delivery, pacing...essentials of show vs tell, process, revision, etc.
