After growing up near China Lake Naval Weapons Center in the middle of the Mojave Desert, Niceole escaped to the bright lights of Los Angeles. While studying acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, she realized her true love was writing stories, not playing them out. She worked as a police dispatcher to pay her way through USC undergrad and then completed the Master of Professional Writing program, also at USC. An alum of the CBS Writers Mentoring Program, NBC's Writers on the Verge, and the WGAW Showrunner Training Program, Niceole has written on “Ironside,” “Allegiance,” “The Mysteries of Laura,” “Shades of Blue,” "Cloak & Dagger," “Fate: the Winx Saga,” “S.W.A.T,” and “Graymail.” She also co-wrote a feature, "The Banker," with former “Allegiance” showrunner and director George Nolfi, available on AppleTV+, and is now writing “Spark,” a film inspired by the life of Claudette Colvin. Niceole is currently a co-executive producer on an upcoming Netflix series and has several TV and feature projects in development. Her first book, “The Writers’ Room Survival Guide,” will be released in October of this year.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

It shows how vital every detail is.
Instinctively, I don't see no reason why this methodology won't work on writing a novel. Thanks film courage, the host and the guest. I will take this and store in the abstracts of my creative writing mind. This just made writing my debut novel easier.
Love to hear it!
It absolutely works. It's what I did, I just didn't use this name for it. Happy writing!
Indeed. Figuring and breaking down Your story is important.
Super useful!
Love this content. It is awesome
Figuring out what you’re characters are doing is also important as well.
I loved this explanation, and I am so excited about Niceole’s upcoming book, The Writers’ Room Survival Guide.
Note cards is good!
These Rock!
Great insight thanks film courage
Glad you enjoyed it
Nicole is amazing! Good stuff!
Agreed! We look forward to sharing more!
Good to be the first one to break the ice on the comments.

Is this applicable to film writing?
yeah... but its leaning more to tv writing that is episodic and group driven.
the main difference is that a script is generally finished before the pitch to the movie. so thats the key difference.
but this reveals something really important: being able to see how your writing needs to be brought onto the screen.
it talks about the set up and pacing for each episode. it would be very valuable to keep in mind as a writer and also writer directors.
