Hi Everyone!
I've been offline for a bit while producing a show to pay the bills, and today felt like a good time to say hello and reintroduce myself.
I joined all of you last year as a result of winning the S32 Feature Screenplay Fellowship contest with SHERMAN OF SHERWOOD. The screenplay also went on to the semifinals at The PAGE Awards, and was a winner or quarterfinalist at several others. As many of you have experienced, I learned that a placement or win does not guarantee success. However, I've continued working hard on getting Sherman (and 4 other market-ready scripts) out into the world, writing my face off on the next screenplay, and quite frankly...keeping my head up in what was a challenging year for our industry. Thank you to all the S32 staff who have remained my cheerleaders (big props to Pat Alexander!) and continue to get my scripts seen through OWAs and additional opportunities.
I'd also like to thank all of you in the S32 community who have connected and welcomed me, but most importantly those who have shared your ups & downs. Please continue to share your successes & disappointments along your journey...they really help us all keep the faith while also reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles. Best of luck to you all with your writing, your meetings, and being the best versions of yourselves.
Write hard.
Ian
PS. I tend to lock into writing and go MIA at times, but I hope to be more active here going forward.

Welcome back, Ian Milne. Congratulations on the success with SHERMAN OF SHERWOOD! Congratulations on producing the show!
I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Writers' Room Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're reintroducing yourself. Let me know if you have any questions.
You're right. Sharing our successes and disappointments really help us all keep the faith while also reminding us that we're not alone in our struggles. I'm rooting for you to sell your scripts!

Ian Milne, welcome back to the wonderful world of Stage 32. Congratulations and tell Sherman I say hello. As for my ups and downs, I do not have many these days. I had many more when I was an elevator operator. Best wishes from an American in Germany.

Bliss Nchelem, your profile says that you are an actor, author, composer, editor, producer, screenwriter, musician, singer, songwriter, voice actor and story analyst. You seem to do everything. You even offer everything people need for Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, 2D and 3D animation work. Is there anything you cannot do?
