I posted this when I first joined a month ago, but since it's Introduce Yourself Weekend, figured I'd get into the spirit. My name is Jeff White and I've begun work on my first screenplay. I am an editor by trade, publishing government transcripts, so I have a great affinity for the written word. I have read a number of screenplays and have studied the craft of screenwriting a bit. Writing is a lonely job. It's easy to isolate yourself and doubt whether you have what it takes. I have no idea whether I am a good writer or not, and I decided the only way I can discover the truth is if I connect with other writers and show them what I have, take their advice on how to get better, or have a Simon Cowell moment where someone gives it to me straight and tells me that perhaps I'm not cut out for this. So I discovered this forum and I hope perhaps I can meet some fellow writers and exchange thoughts, ideas and suggestions. I am a creative person and I love movies, TV, books, etc. Anything that can help me on my journey as a writer, I am game for.
Hey, Jeff. Thanks for checking in again! You definitely have the right spirit. You should consider uploading some of your screenplays or loglines to your Stage 32 profile. You can do this by clicking Share at the top of the screen and selecting Loglines. Looking forward to connecting with you on Stage 32!
Good deal
Thank you. I am going to upload some stuff soon; definitely a logline.
Hello Jeff and Welcome! Since i love to collaborate with screenwriters, I believe it's the first step into the very sound of your idea, I would love to chat and discuss any of your ideas and possibly find a sound to it. Feel free to check my stuff out on my soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/matteo_ruperto). I am a creative person as well I am sure it would be interesting
