Congrats! I just finished my 90 page supernatural screenplay as well. Are you opting into any completions?

Darlene here! First, thank you for your service. I am an Army mom and Ranger Reg mother-in-law, both honorably discharged with disabilities. I'm a screenwriter also who has written a script about a single mom Navy Reservist medic who died in Iraq from a roadside blast, and her mother's struggle to raise her orphaned granddaughter. Wishing you much success!

"How can someone who participated in a war that destroyed a civilization and the future of an entire people write about 'horror'? Does the fictional horror you write about even compare to the real-life horror that Iraqi civilians endured because of that war you were a part of?". Welcome to the Stage 32 community."

My Fiction Horror screenplays have nothing to do with the War; my screenplays are about my experience with supernatural and paranormal experiences. Thanks for the welcome Wael.

I don't have a desire to ever write about my War time experience, IRAQ, or any other War that has happened in this world. I was just being polite by letting everyone know that I'm a Desert Storm War Veteran, & a former US Army Reservists, THAT'S IT. My horror screenplays are strictly fiction mixed with my personal supernatural and paranormal experiences in my life, it's as simple as that. Again, thanks for the welcome Wael.
