The Write Mindset
by Thomas J Bellezza
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.<br /

Bellezza was born in 1978 on Long Island, New York, and is a successful consultant in the entertainment industry. He is known for his speaking engagements, mentoring, and unwavering desire to help others with their creative endeavors and succeed in their careers. He is a student of human behavior and the process of becoming successful. For more than twenty years, he has been an important figure in his field, opening doors and giving people places to learn. His journey began in the 90’s as an illustrator. From there, his career turned into a ten-year venture with his band TENEbRAE. Since 2007, he has developed multiple paths in his industry: from his music project, Altayon, to performing stand-up comedy, acting, and his career as a writer/author. As a writing consultant, he helps write, outline, and brainstorm story development and narrative fluidity. As a script doctor and story consultant, he works on scripts, books, and novels. His mission to help educate people has led him to open up a nonprofit venture, Team Rise Together, with the motto of "work together, grow together, and rise together." This mission gives entertainers the chance to work together with other people who share their interests. As a team, these people will help each other improve their skills, learn about the industry, and understand their craft in the field so that they can move up in their careers together. His debut poetry book, "SHE," was published in 2018 and is holding strong with 4.8 stars on Amazon. Currently, his next two books are in progress. His self-help book is in the hands of fantastic alpha readers, and his first three book fantasy series, "The Maven Wars," is in the outlining stage. In addition to writing, Thomas currently has a number of TV and film scripts in the works at BBR Productions. These projects will be made as part of the Team Rise Together mission. #TheWriteMindset, #AlexKazam, #Storytelling

ABOUT THIS SHOW
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.<br /
