This isn’t just a story. It’s a lifeline.

Medium isn’t just a writing platform — it’s truly a community. Made of real, live people. We struggle, we have personal victories, and we strive to become better writers. When we come together, we do so much more than write. We help each other become better people.

It’s easy to think of Medium as a place to showcase our writing — and it is. However, it’s so much more than that. By commenting and engaging, we get to know one another. We do more than share stories. We change lives.

Would you be willing to save one?

Today, I’m humbly but desperately asking for your attention and your kindness. I’m asking you to help someone on Medium who is well known for both his writing talent and for helping others.

Someone who makes my experience writing for Medium a much more learned experience. He’s an amazing teacher, and he’s the author of The Craft of Scene Writing, the only scene writing book for screenwriters. He’s witty, and he’s one hell of a writer and teacher.

He’s my writing bestie, and he makes the jeetwincasinos.community brighter, wiser, and better off for knowing him. He’s got a lot of friends whom he’s met through his writing.
