Writing 101

You might never know it from this blog, but I would like to become a writer. I am 15 pages into my first screenplay. Applause please.

Since I was a little girl I have always wanted to write a movie. I tried to write a play a few years back but I had a lot of trouble getting the ideas on to paper. The structure always seemed scattered, the characters one dimensional and the story convoluted. A great idea in my head didn't transfer to the page.

For Christmas my husband bought me a MacBook and Final Draft. I also have started to use Marilyn Horowitz's book. It is awesome! My characters are now coming alive and my story is easily coming into place. I am really enjoying the process!

Happy Sunday!
