When Val Kilmer passed away, the world remembered Top Gun, Tombstone, The Doors—his biggest, most iconic roles.
But the film that changed my life… wasn't one of those.
In this video, I’m sharing:
🔹 A personal story about grief, healing, and unexpected inspiration
🔹 4 powerful writing mindset lessons I learned from Val Kilmer’s career
🔹 Why your “flops” or forgotten pieces may be more important than you think
🔹 A weekly mission to reconnect you with your own writing legacy
This is a love letter to the creative misfits, the artists who don’t always get applause, and the writers wondering if their work really matters.
It does.
