Josh Ahearne: Screenwriter in Bristol, United Kingdom.

Praise the maker, finally finished my first feature script. Now to chill out and let it percolate before redrafting.

To all those who've added me recently, much thanks. Sorry for not getting back to you but I'm neck deep in writing and don't want to lose my focus. I'm sure many of you can relate.

Hi, Josh!Thank you for your connection, much appreciated. I hope life is treating you well?

Only a week away from shooting my first short. This should be fun, and a hell of a learning experience.

I use a couple of sites to get names from such as Surname Database. Obviously other times I just take names from friends and family. I was just wondering if any of you have other ways of coming up names that fit your characters.

Finally finished planning out a feature script. I was having trouble getting an old story I wrote to work but then looked at some other short stories I'd plotted out that were in the same 'universe' and realised they all worked well together as one full story. So here goes something, all week I'll be breaking my back hunkering over an action/horror script.

Have been a huge Joe Hill fan since a friend saw the cover of Horns and thought I'd like it. Lately I've re-read NOS4A2 and remembered why I loved it so much. The characters draw you in, the big bad is an interesting take on supernatural evil and his henchman was truly skin crawling.

Groovy, just uploaded Everlasting.

I think my short Everlasting may be as good as I can make it. Will hopefully be posting it in the next day.

New to here and relatively new to screen writing in general. Thought I'd do as the site suggest and show my mug. I'm Welsh, now living in Bristol, spent the last few years writing short stories and most of a novel. Not long ago I tried my hand at a short film script to break up the monotonous rut I'd fallen into. I found the screenplay format and style of writing so much more fluid, fun and easy in comparison. Since then I've been writing like crazy and looking to starting a career in the field.
