#76 With Daniel John Carey

Were You Still Talking?

Episode #76

On this episode I talk to Daniel Carey author of “Screenwriting Tribe,” "Dream Another Dream," "Dream Your World," and “Plant-based Regenerative Nutrition.” He is the founder of Screenwriting Tribe script incubation workshop in Los Angeles.

We talk about weird Hollywood, script writing, childhood trauma, someone we both know (small world) and much much more.

From the author:

When the pandemic caused the screenwriting workshop, I had been running for four years to be shut down, I got busy working on my books about life recovery, life redesign, and motivation.

The pandemic started just after the second edition of my screenwriting book was published, which is used as a text in film schools.

In March 2023, a screenplay I wrote about a religious cult made a list of the top unproduced screenplays in Hollywood. It's one of many screenplays I've written.

My book "Dream Another Dream: Recover and Reimagine Your Life" was published in June 2022. "Dream Your World: Fathom a New Life in which You can Thrive" was published in February 2023.

In "Dream Another Dream," I cover many topics about life intermixed with quotations of many people from throughout history. I also write of my childhood growing up in a household of many misfortunes and saturated with poverty, alcoholism, brutality, and depression. At age 16, I hitchhiked across country to escape the brutality.

Completely unprepared for life, as a troubled young adult I ended up homeless. I had to build my life from the ground up.

"Dream Your World" is a continuation of what I wrote of in "Dream Another Dream." In both books, I mixed the texts with philosophical and inspiring quotations from hundreds of people throughout history, all with the goal of inspiring life improvement.

For many years, I had worked as a ghost writer, helping a variety of writers with their manuscripts, and getting their books ready for publishing. Mostly, I worked on health and nutrition books. I decided that from now on I will only work on my own books.

In February 2023, my book "Plant-Based Regenerative Nutrition" was published. It is 400 pages, and includes claims backed by medical and science studies.

I live in Los Angeles, where I run Screenwriting Tribe script incubation workshop.

In 2020, I took the workshop virtual, on Zoom. Since November 2022, I also have an in-person workshop, and continue also holding the workshop on Zoom. Both workshops are for up to 17 members. I help writers polish their film and TV screenplays. I also polish screenplays for film producers.
