How I can do that thing that no one’s ever done before, and do it over and over. How I write and make the industry say I’m original. One of a kind. A star. I don’t care much about that, though. And I don’t have much of an answer for how I do it. I just do it. I don’t even know what it is. All I am is a channel for whatever it is. Since I didn’t have

Hi there!
I’m Lauren,

and I'm a lifelong storytelling and literature enthusiast. That's literature as in books, film, TV shows, plays, and anything that begins as spoken or written words that tell a story.

I'm also a writer and filmmaker with a passion for picking up on the techniques of a film or written story while spotting reference points elsewhere in media for themes, techniques, and any other aspect of the piece. The connections I make are in each article of The Lit/Lens Review.
