Welcome to January. It’s cold, there’s snow on the ground and you’re bombarded with messages about being a better person in 2025. You have our permission to screw that, go gently into the month, write and journal and sip many, many cups of tea.

The Gotham Writers Workshop (Gotham Writers) is offering three scholarships to aspiring POC scriptwriters who have an interest in writing scripts for movies, TV shows, or plays. You can apply here: v2.writingclasses.com/scholarships/s…
