Eat. Write. Roam.
Notes from a life lived well — with curiosity, craft,
and San Miguel de Allende as muse.
Stories, sparks, ingredients, scenes, memories, and
the odd bit of magic that sneaks into a writer’s day.
Part travelogue. Part creative lab.
Always simmering.
Eat Write Roam began the way many creative ventures do: as a simple idea between two seasoned screenwriters who wanted to share what they’d learned with anyone hungry to break in. The plan was straightforward — teach the craft, demystify the industry, host workshops in one of the most inspiring towns in the world.
And then life, with its impeccable timing, intervened.
A broken arm.
A run-in with a speeding truck on ancient cobblestones.
Months of recovery.
A forced stillness that turned into something else: clarity.
Somewhere between the bone-healing and the soul-recalibrating, Eat Write Roam shifted. It stopped being “a program” and became a living archive — part travelogue, part creative practice, part love letter to San Miguel de Allende. A place to wander through memory, food, film, and the small sparks that turn into stories.
Today, Eat Write Roam is for writers, travelers, dreamers, and anyone who believes reinvention is an art form. It’s a reminder that inspiration rarely arrives on schedule — it hides in a bowl of pozole, in a cobblestone shadow at dusk, in a sudden memory triggered by something as ordinary as a soufflé.
You’ll find screenwriting insights here, yes. But also observations from a life being rewritten in real time: the magic, the absurdity, the unexpected beauty of starting over in a place where folklore is ingrained in the bones of the city.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about curiosity.
It’s about the moments when craft and living collapse into each other.
It’s about the stories we create — and the ones that create us.
Welcome. Wander. Take what you need.
