I'm relatively new here and trying to get out of my introverted comfort zone! I'm a screenwriter. My feature Weightless has just been named a Semifinalist in this year's Nicholl Fellowship, and I also have a drama pilot, and I have a few other projects in the works. I'm working towards representation and just getting more of my work out there. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Welcome to the family. The Writer's Room has much to offer. You're ahead of the game with that Nicholl placement. Congrats!

Welcome, fellow introvert! Despite it, you seem to be doing quite well. Well done. What do you find is the hardest thing you do as a screenwriter? Pitching? I see you are also a Counsellor. Are you happy with that more intimate of spaces? Anyway, I wish you well and hope you find what you need, here on Stage 32.

Thanks Geoff Hall too - and yes, I prefer smaller settings, but I have done public speaking as part of my work too - I'm usually ok if I have something to say, and know exactly what that is, but I'm sure its difficult for everyone! Practice is the only way

You're welcome, Eliesha Steel. Did working as a therapist help you write your story characters?

Maurice Vaughan Yes, I believe so. It helps me add layers, exploring the impact and reactions they might have...but also, and probably most importantly has really helped me view them with curiosity and without judgement. Or in therapist-speak, 'unconditional positive regard' haha.

It probably helps you write therapist scenes also, Eliesha Steel. I struggle with those sometimes.
