AI fooled me. Then Jill Scott's social media AI music post made me ask a much bigger question: What happens when we stop caring whether our favorite music comes from a real person?

What do a breathtaking Malibu mansion, a terrifying mountain road, a recurring dream, and the streets of Skid Row have in common?  At first glance... absolutely nothing. But during one crazy day behind the wheel of my car, two Lyft rides took me on a journey I never saw coming. Along the way, I found myself laughing out loud, gripping the steering wheel a little tighter than usual, and asking questions about people, perspective, and the unexpected places where life's biggest lessons show up.   Some stories are too unbelievable to make up.   Good thing I didn't have to.   Hop in the back seat and come along for the ride!

One thing I learned recently is that every person carries a piece of home with them. Yesterday, home happened to be Egypt—and for fifteen minutes, my Lyft became the bridge between two worlds.

I pulled out an old pilot script I was working on a long time ago. I didn’t finish it because I was having a hard time coming up with the story engine. I can spot story engine problems easily in other people’s scripts, but it’s a struggle creating my own. I was given advice to check out the show Claws because it is similar to my script. So, I planned to check out the pilot episode to get an understanding of the story engine. The pilot hooked me in. The next thing I knew, I binged the entire first season. The show is hilarious and those people are crazy af! I tracked the engine for season 1 from beginning to end. Check out what I found!Follow WordyGirl Entertainment on Instagram and Twitter at @wordygirlent Follow WordyGirl Entertainment on Facebook at https://bit.ly/34NRtJu Visit our website at wordygirlent.com
