The 9 Things I Did Right in My Writing Career in 2019

December 25, 2019 by Amy Suto 1 Comment

Hello! It’s time for my 2019 wrap-up post, and I thought I’d go over the 9 things I did right this year in my writing and in life.

2019 was a good year, but it still had its ups and downs. I co-wrote my first episode of TV and got into the WGA, did all the freelancing and traveled a good amount, but I also worked myself into the ground and burned myself out a few times.

I’m still learning how to balance everything, but this year also marked the beginning of building some really amazing things I’m so proud to be a part of.

Without further ado, here’s the list!

#1. Learned How to Teach Yoga, Started Teaching Classes

I’ve written before on this blog on how teaching yoga has impacted my creativity and writing.

I completed my 200 hour Yoga Alliance Training in the spring, and since then have been teaching regular classes for a South LA school and for Gold’s Gym.

Learning how to teach yoga did a few things:

  • Reminded me how critical the mind/body connection is for creativity. Mindfulness and movement is critical to maintain our creativity. Sitting in a desk all day isn’t good for us, and I rediscovered how key curious movement is through yoga.
  • Taught me how to be more confident in my presence. When I’m teaching yoga, I have to talk for 60-90 minutes straight, gently guiding my students through the sequence I prepared for them. I learned how to speak calmly but with authority, and that practice is invaluable for every aspect of my life, from pitching to how I simply hold myself in a room.
  • Learned how to make bomb playlists. Does your yoga teacher’s playlist have an acoustic cover of safety dance on it? I think not.

I’m hopping into a new writers’ room this January, so I won’t be teaching group classes this spring.

However, I will be starting up my free yoga in the park again, so be sure to follow me on Instagram for more updates on that! IG: @YogaforTVWriters

#2. Created a Community with KingdomofPavement.com

In Los Angeles, all of the different art forms are scattered and siloed in their own fields. Our mission with Kingdom of Pavement is to not only highlight rising artists, but to create a community in LA where creatives can learn and gather for our open mic nights.

We’ll be doing some really incredible events in 2020, so I hope you’ll visit our website and sign up for our mailing list!

I also designed the supersoft Kingdom of Pavement t-shirts we have for sale in the store — these unisex tees fit like a dream and are my favor

#3. Traveled to New Places

I wrote a blog post earlier this year about how my ghostwriting and freelance work has allowed me to travel and work from anywhere.

Travel is critical for writers and creatives: we need to be able to experience the world in order to write about it.

I also took a lovely research trip for the new pilot I wrote this year, and wrote a blog post about how to go on a research trip for your work.

#4. Wrote to My Authentic Experiences

I’m so proud of the article I wrote for the Los Angeles Times about how pole dancing helped me come out as bisexual. If you haven’t already, check it out here!

Writing about my authentic experiences is so important to me. I’ve been on a journey to practice honesty and vulnerability in all aspects of my life, and this was a major step forward in that goal.

#5. Grew My Freelance Business — and Wrote a Book About it!

Freelancing has been a godsend, and I’m so grateful to be able to freelance when I’m not in a writers’ room.

I wanted to share my tips and tricks with others — so I wrote a short li’l book about it!

For the past few years, I’ve been meeting with fellow creatives who were trying to figure out how to make space in their life for their work without having to wait tables or take on a traditional “day job.” I’ve been sharing with friends and strangers tips and tricks, and thought I might as well write a book about the most valuable things I’ve learned, sans the fluff.

I have a bunch of posts on here about freelancing as well if you want to get a taste of some of the things I cover in the book! (Go to my popular post page and scroll to the “freelancing” category)

Freelancing has allowed me to meet some really incredible clients, travel all over the place, and sustain myself in-between writers’ rooms.

As creatives, we’re taught that the only way to succeed is to starve. But because we have such unique skills and crafts we’ve learned, we can leverage these things to create successful freelance businesses to give us the freedom we need to pursue our art.

I also have a whole chapter devoted to how I freelance on Upwork, which is how I made my first $10,000 back when I was a showrunner’s assistant.

You can purchase my book either on Amazon or in the brand new Kingdom of Pavement bookstore, where we’ll be rolling out some exclusive Kingdom of Pavement-only titles soon.

#6. Wrote for Multiple Forms and Mediums

I wrote so much this year — but not just for one form! I’m working on a novel, I wrote and published my freelance ebook, I wrote one pilot and revised two others and started on a new one, I helped to produce an interactive murder mystery for FourFront Media and wrote a piece of the experience, I ghostwrote several memoirs and nonfiction books and dozens of articles for the aforementioned LA Times and Kingdom of Pavement — it’s kind of a miracle I don’t have carpal tunnel (yet.)

I’m also still writing and releasing chapters of my millennial noir series that I’m posting here on the blog (let’s face it: I’m way behind but still having a blast writing this serialized story!)

I learned so much from writing for different forms and mediums, and highly recommend every writer try to write for a few different forms. It’s a great way to challenge yourself and get your work out there.

#7. Read Widely

I’m constantly trying to read and absorb as many new experiences, skills, and books as possible.

I read and loved Ronan Farrow’s new book as well as some odd books about crime and hypnosis and the history of burglary.

Audible was one of the major reasons why I was able to read so much this year, and I highly recommend — especially if you’re *over* all the LA traffic.

#8. I Helped My Friends Build Their Businesses

…which I can’t really talk about here, but there’s no one I’d rather work with than my friends.

In my opinion, everything we build should come from a place of altruism and friendship.

Together, we’re stronger than if we just tried to do everything by ourselves.

#9. I Embraced the Unknown.

I never really know “what’s next.” I kind of just… do things. And the puzzle pieces fall into place from there.

I have strategies based on my goals, of course. My whiteboard is covered in steps to achieve my annual goals.

But even if you create elaborate plans, it’s not always up to you.

So embrace the unknown, and let’s go running into these roaring 20’s together 🙂

-Amy

What would you change in yourself and the world around you? In reading this book about how different cultures around the world treat death so much differently than us, I also think our fear of death harms us. In thinking that we’re going to live forever, America pretends very real viruses don’t exist, and we don’t make the changes today that would lead to a better tomorrow. The fact that death is an inevitability is both freeing and a call to make the most of the time that we do have. Here’s to 2021 and the way in which we can make the most of it ✨

I’ve spent most of 2020 in cozy spaces reading w I’ve spent most of 2020 in cozy spaces reading with my cat, and there’s something satisfying in the simplicity of sifting through all these good books. My current read is “Women Who Run With Wolves,” a book analyzing mythology and feminine nature that’s deeply fascinating and a life-changing read. We don’t think about the wisdom we need to protect our creative nature and inner worlds, and this book goes into how to find restoration and strength even in our chaotic environment. A full list of all my favorite books from this year coming to my blog soon!
This is been a year of climbing mountains. Whether This is been a year of climbing mountains. Whether we’re forming a fictional folk band and need to get our album cover or creating new systems and structures from scratch, I couldn’t be more grateful for the people beside me as we build a kingdom that can pave a new road into Hollywood and storytelling. Every day I get to wake up and work on projects I love, help fascinating folks tell their stories, and try to make my corner of this world a little brighter. In 2021 I’m planning to keep upholding the standards and values I want in our work, and to bring some really special art to life. Even as things are burning, we can find a way to use the flames to show us the way to what’s next.
Enjoying the last few days of working remotely in Enjoying the last few days of working remotely in Palm Springs. It’s been a lovely month soaking up the last of the summer (fall?) sun while writing by the pool and transitioning to fire pit days. Working in inspiring places has helped me focus on the top-secret writing work I’m doing for really inspiring people, and think deeply about the right way to tell a story from all angles. Soon, back to LA, home for the holidays, and onto the next adventure as we try to make the most of our quarantine world with really exceptional people.

Spent all of the past month living and working rem Spent all of the past month living and working remotely in the Colorado Rockies, and here’s what I learned:

1) Fresh air and long hikes can fix a lot
2) What can’t be fixed by 1 can be remedied with good friends and long conversations 
3) What can’t be fixed by 1 and 2 can be solved by renouncing all material possessions and just moving to the woods permanently and taking up whittling 
4) While I’m not quite at 3 just yet, I’m working on trying to carve out a place in the world that feels full of life and heart and community. It’s going to take a long time to build everything we’re working on, with a lot of hard decisions along the road. But I’m excited to keep making progress and creating stories I care about with talented folks.

Stay safe and here’s to hoping we’ll get our blue skies back in LA sometime soon 💙

Understanding how trauma affects the core of us on a cellular level is critical to understanding how the mental affects the physical. This book is also an important glimpse into why people behave badly: usually, there’s unresolved trauma at the heart of someone acting out. If everyone was more trauma-informed, we’d be able to make strides to solving the public health crisis at the heart of these traumatic incidents, and be in a better place to help provide healing modalities like yoga, therapy, and EMDR.

When I started writing @thelaststationpodcast thre When I started writing @thelaststationpodcast three months ago, I wasn’t just writing a post-apocalyptic sci-fi radio drama about an indie music radio host and a cowboy braving the end of the world. I was — and still am! — using this scripted podcast as a way to explore the themes we’re all experiencing in quarantine: loss, missed connections, grieving the way the world once was, facing evils that feel so much greater than ourselves — and trying to find great music to carry us through. Not only do I get to play in this sandbox of finding hope at the end of the world, but I get to do it with the best people. The caliber of incredible talent on this project from our actors to our writing team to our guest musicians to our stellar editors and composers — it’s unreal. And it’s the beginning of an incredible journey: we’ve got 8 more episodes for you, and I can’t wait for you to experience each one.

The incomparable @portiajamas brings her energy and charisma as Marina, trying to help Holden escape from her side of the airwaves. @linabean113 and @the_other_keanu are our amazing guest stars and bring the intrigue ✨ @mr_dejas and @it_groovy absolutely crushed it when it came to the sound design, editing, and mix/mastering of the episode and have heard from several friends already that they felt like the SFX was in the same room. Stephen Ptacek and Anthony Al-Rifi kill it with the original compositions and atmospheric music.

the only secret of the universe that I discovered the only secret of the universe that I discovered at the top of that mountain is that the universe is only a secret if you believe it is hiding something from you. otherwise, it’s just a new frontier waiting to be explored
When I started writing @thelaststationpodcast thre When I started writing @thelaststationpodcast three months ago, I wasn’t just writing a post-apocalyptic sci-fi radio drama about an indie music radio host and a cowboy braving the end of the world. I was — and still am! — using this scripted podcast as a way to explore the themes we’re all experiencing in quarantine: loss, missed connections, grieving the way the world once was, facing evils that feel so much greater than ourselves — and trying to find great music to carry us through. Not only do I get to play in this sandbox of finding hope at the end of the world, but I get to do it with the best people. The caliber of incredible talent on this project from our actors to our writing team to our guest musicians to our stellar editors and composers — it’s unreal. And it’s the beginning of an incredible journey: we’ve got 8 more episodes for you, and I can’t wait for you to experience each one. We’ll get through this together, and I can’t wait to introduce you to your new favorite creatives every step of the way through this story.
