We recently connected with Linda Wright and have shared our conversation below.
Linda, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
I would say the most meaningful project is YOU AND ME, a pilot I wrote. There are many stories out there about a man leaving prison and having to start over but very few on women. Women truly are the underdog in these societal circumstances and I love to write stories that show faith and victory.
Linda, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My colleagues call me “the writer with a heart.” Following after the late Michael Landon, I write stories that depict real-life conflicts and issues. Stories that change lives and share hope. I’m also passionate about writing stories that keep a family entertained together. There is power in the “family hour.” After working many years on television crews, and running the production company for one of WB’s most prolific producers, I realized writing and directing is my calling.
However, I have used my writing skills to help other writers achieve their dreams. Whether that is script writing/consulting or pitch decks or treatments. I have experience in all and partner with their dreams.
I truly believe in living your dream – fulfilling your destiny and inspiring other writers to do the same.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
There is. When Michael Landon died, after leaving us a legacy of great family shows, I decided someone needed to do the same. As a single mother of 3, I left the East Coast and headed to Los Angeles and have never looked back. It is the daily driving factor for me
Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?
This is a very good question. When I decided to pursue my childhood dream of going to Hollywood and pursuing making movies, I was laughed at, scolded, unfriended and accused of ruining my children’s lives. Well, I decided I’m going anyway and none of else have ever looked back!
