13 Nights of Kindness starts tonight!

For Night 1, we’re keeping it simple: Send the text.

Reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Tell them you miss them, you’re thinking about them, or just ask how they’re doing.

It only takes a few seconds to remind someone they’re not forgotten.

Who are you texting tonight?

Something kind is coming… 🎃

Tomorrow, we’re kicking off "13 Nights of Kindness", a Halloween countdown with a little less trick and a lot more treat.

For 13 days leading up to Halloween, we’ll share one simple kindness challenge each day. Some will encourage you to show up for the people around you, some will help you connect with someone who might need it, and one or two might even challenge you to show a little more kindness to yourself.

Because you never know what someone else is carrying, and even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference.

Your first challenge drops tomorrow.

Are you in?

Before writing a scene, figure out what each character wants from it.

Maybe they want information, an apology, approval, or simply to get out of the room. When characters want different things, even an ordinary conversation can create conflict and become more interesting to watch.

QUICK TIP: Write each character’s goal at the top of the scene before you start. Then ask: What’s stopping them from getting it?

You don’t have to become someone else to be worthy of your own story.

One of the most powerful things we can teach young people is to embrace who they are, believe in what they bring to the table, and know that they don’t have to fit someone else’s definition of who they should be.

As Ralph says in Wreck-It Ralph, “There’s no one I’d rather be than me.”

At OK2BX, that’s a message we’ll always get behind. 💙
