Welcome to Gena in General

Talking story, Writing story
Writer • Producer

Welcome to my multiple medium platform where my storytelling forms are gathered like a family around the kitchen table. Gig, for short. I am a journalist, screenwriter, producer and author. Award winning. I am a daughter of Appalachia where storytelling is as old as the West Virginia hills I grew up in. The lake town of Summersville. I have alternated between rural and city dwellings. Chicago to St. Louis to East Coast places and Southern spaces, where stories form on concrete foundations and leap tall buildings, skim through the salt marshes, rivers and lakes and then swiftly sweep over the mountains and across the plains, landing on the page or screen. Sometimes both. 

I Am Marshall and an alum of the University of Oklahoma. Being a Thundering Herd and a Sooner makes perfect sense. All instilled a love of seeking story. Getting lost in research of people and places is my thing, for both fiction and non-fiction, while overcoming challenges to do so. I discover new worlds through writing. Sometimes people inspire story. Sometimes just looking down and picking up an object from the ground. And saying, what if? Recently, story led me to tea farms in Mississippi and Hawai’i and to applebutter making back home. All roads have led to Gig. My acronym, my life. Let’s talk story, let’s write story. 

I'm Gena

Creative writer,
seeking the story

Talk Story, as I learned in Hawai’i. Sounds like my Appalachian storytelling roots. Fiction. Non-fiction. A hybrid of both. A Rise Business conference dubbed me an Entrepreneur also. Gena in General grew out of a percolation period of filtering ideas and stories and my desire to keep growing, learning and setting goals. This is my multiple medium platform.

I am using my own viewfinder to compose and focus in on the Stories important to me and then share those reels in multiple forms with you to inspire, educate or simply entertain. Including some of my behind-the-scenes stories of writing, film, travel and life in general. I hope you glean some nuggets for your own story or your Gigs. That’s with a capital G.

The joys. The tears. The triumphs. The fears. The mundane. The monumental.



Journey

Everyone has a story. You’re diving into a bit of mine. I love crossing paths with those who share theirs. Story is in what is not said, too. Especially on the screen. In screenwriting we have white space. That space is the potential of the story, a wise young woman told me. It’s true I’m a journalist, turned screenwriter, claiming entrepreneur. This platform is personal, too. It’s me in my white space, pushing past the fear, the pain and living the joys and the small things. I hope I inspire or help just one person on their own journey. Welcome to my story. Gena in General. My Gig.
