    Ep 75: (LIVE) I'm presenting at my first online summit!
    2026/03/21

    What is author voice—and why is it the #1 thing agents and editors look for?

    In my first Substack live video, I share why I'm presenting at the Perfect Your Process Summit 2026, how my Hollywood acting career taught me what makes a writer's voice unforgettable, and how you can join me for free.

    3 or 4 years ago I fell down the online writing summit rabbit hole. As a disabled writer, it was my only way to connect with other authors. I discovered some British guy named Daniel David Wallace and followed everything he did.

    Now in 2026, I'm certified in his Character-First teaching method, I work with him, I've hired him to coach my own novels—and I'm finally presenting at one of these summits I used to watch from the sidelines.

    My 2018 phone couldn’t handle the 97 degree heat so some of the sync is off in the recording.


    IN THIS VIDEO:

    • How I booked my second audition ever—and what casting directors taught me about snap judgments

    • What got me full manuscript requests on every novel I queried

    • Why Hollywood was easier than traditional publishing (!!)

    • What happened when I built an AI bot to replicate my voice

    • Why author voice is the one thing that AI-proofs your writing

    • What you get with the free summit pass vs. the All Access Pass


    🎟️ The summit is FREE to watch live (March 21–24, 2026). Talks lock after 24 hours. The All Access Pass ($87) gives you lifetime replays, transcripts, a private podcast feed, and speaker bonuses. Price goes up after March 21!

    👉 Grab the All Access Pass through my link: https://summit.yourwritingprocess.com/?sc=aXR7SFnR&ac=Ad77WPKY

    It costs you nothing extra and supports my work. And I will love you forever.

    👉 My talk goes live: Tuesday, March 24 at 2 PM Pacific

    0:30 How I fell down the online summit rabbit hole

    1:07 Discovering Daniel David Wallace

    1:46 The All Access Pass — what you get and why it's worth it

    3:09 My talk: 3 Hollywood Secrets to Unforgettable Author Voice

    3:16 Why I'm really good at pitching (and what that has to do with acting)

    4:02 Booking my second audition ever — and what casting taught me

    5:05 Why Hollywood was actually easier than traditional publishing

    6:06 Why AI can never replicate your voice

  • Ep 73: I’m a Failure: The Real Reason I Started a Podcast

    Ep 73: I’m a Failure: The Real Reason I Started a Podcast
    2026/02/03

    I started a podcast because I'm a loser.

    This episode is the origin story I've never told: going blind, ending up in a wheelchair, and the freedom that comes with nothing left to lose. (Any Janis Joplin fans here?)

    It's about the almost-but-not-quite Hollywood successes, my dad's mountain range philosophy, and why Navy SEALs know something about drowning the rest of us need to hear.

    But really, it’s about this:

    The more I owned my loser status, the more people related to me. And I hope it gives you courage to own your failures too.

    Best Quotes:

    "Everyone is performing success all the time, even when we're drowning. Especially when we're drowning."

    "I was the silent Asian. To this day, we still play this game. We watch TV and we see an Asian, we're like, oh, silent Asian. That Asian never gets to speak."

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • Elijah Wood was my dream prom date
    • How to be on TV and still feel like a failure
    • The $1 million conversation that set me free
    • Why my life is one long Navy SEAL drown-proofing drill
    • What my dad would say about Beck's "Loser" hitting #10 on Billboard 100


    TIMESTAMPS:

    00:00 Why I Started My Podcast

    00:34 Blind and Paralyzed

    00:57 Beck & My Hollywood Dreams

    03:37 Failure & the Asian Dad

    04:30 The $1 Million Story

    05:24 The Bottom Bounce: Navy SEALs Know How to Sink

    06:54 Owning Failure Publicly

    09:21 The Loser's Anthem
