One of my biggest issues that I currently have with writing more is the question of, is it worth continuing to write more.

VS..That's some pretty bold stuff you have in the launch tube (gud luk with it) ...and thanks for your service..best, GS
It was my privilege to serve! You're very welcome! I love history, particularly my history. It's a story that needs to be heard and seen that for many years has not. It's my hope to get it either in the right hands or make it myself.
Victor, thanks for reaching out. I'm quite familiar with the Tulsa "Black Wall Street" history. What happened was nothing short of a riot police-led riot, with air assaults—the works. In fact, as you know, the GAP Band's name is an acronym taken from the intersection of Greenwood, Archer and Pine st...

Thanks for the comment! It was very much a tragic part of history that had been left untold. My book is self published but not marketed and I am trying to sell my script!!!!

You have to be a screenwriter for the long haul because you love doing it. And a backup gig is advisable. That's why I'm a realtor again.

Expand commentVictor - you have a script, find out if it's any good. Polish it to a bright shinny object and take it wide. It sounds like a period docu-drama. Period pieces are a hard sell today but there are a few production companies out there - do your research. Make sure your script is not preachy. It's the market that will tell you if you're a good writer - not you. You're a military guy? - just go do it (you know how)! All the best to you.

Thank you for your service. You mention that you are taken care of financially so make sure that whatever you do, you do what you love.
