Chapter V: How to Live in LA w/ Queency Luvry

In the fifth chapter of Screenwriter Survival Guide, we're doing something a little bit different: we're talking about your life outside of writing. You're never going to thrive as a writer if you're entirely focused on work all the time. So it's important to remember to find a balance of work and "not-work" that's healthy for you. To help me with the "not-work" part, I'm chatting with my friend Queency Luvry, an Indonesian/Canadian sound editor who also happens to be my oldest friend in LA. 

Connect with Queency on Instagram (@qluvry), by Email (qluvry@gmail.com), or Facebook (facebook.com/queencyluvry).
