Hi everyone, I'm Sophia. I am brand new to Stage32 and the screenwriting world in general, so I'm excited I get to start with the November write club! My main goal for this month is to finish the second draft of my first screenplay, which I am co-writing. I am actually going to be graduating from my Master's in Screenwriting at the end of this month, and this will be my final project submission, so technically, 2 goals in 1.
My side quest is to develop at least an outline for a horror/drama pilot. I don't know how realistic this is, as I'm also working full-time as a production intern on a feature this month, but who needs sleep, amirite?
Any words of advice or encouragement for a sleep-deprived fledgling are greatly appreciated.

Sleep is for the weak! Go get it! Ah, you'll be fine - I work an 8:30 - 5pm job, and squeeze writing in two hours before work, (go to the gym, then work) during my 1 hour lunch, and sometimes an hour in the evening. Have faith in yourself!!

You've got this, Sophia Pinto. Welcome to Stage 32 and NWC. The same thing happened to me two years ago. I arrived at Stage 32, which was NWC. Guess what? I won the 2023 edition one month after arriving here. We never know what life holds for us. But we pursue opportunities. I am rooting for you and your goals.
