About this listen

 Hello, my name is Thomas J. Bellezza, and welcome to The Write Mindset. The short, short version: for ten years I've been a script doctor and story consultant, helping writers get their thoughts organized onto the page by outlining, writing, or guiding them. Since the 90's, I've been in the entertainment industry, writing my own scripts, novels, poetry, music, and lyrics for a living.

Podcast Mission:

To educate writers on the craft of writing through my knowledge of how I was taught, learned, and currently teach my clients. My focus is on narrative, outlining, brainstorming, and both character and plot development in general, which can be applied to novels or scripts.

A secondary aspect of this channel will be analyzing (and reviewing) films (new and old), novels, and occasionally there will be interviews with writers to get their insight on the craft of writing.

My tertiary goals will be to elaborate on the business of writing.

Work, grow, and rise together! Peace in harmony as your develop The Write Mindset.Copyright Thomas J Bellezza Art Literary History & Criticism

    Wendy Dale on Dodging Bombs, Guerrilla Soldiers, and Writing Memoirs. In this unforgettable interview, author Wendy Dale joins Thomas J. Bellezza on The Write Mindset to share her incredible journey: from traveling the world and dodging bombs and bullets to partying with guerrilla soldiers and eventually becoming a celebrated memoirist.

    We dive into her latest release, The Memoir Engineering System, a practical and transformative guide to writing memoirs with structure and soul. Wendy opens up about how her wild past shaped her approach to storytelling—and why your life doesn’t need to be extreme to be worth writing about.

    If you're a writer looking for memoir guidance, creative inspiration, or just a great story, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Let’s work, grow, and rise together as we develop The Write Mindset.
