Confessions: I know very little about screenwriters, or screenwriting. Before you start, you might try reading scripts and make notes about what you like. I do know that people who work with others, networking, workshops, and concentrated effort: people do get their work published. What does it take? Look at the bios of some of the best. Also go to www.wrtiersinthesky.com for more tips.

I am curious what you thought of the Oscars tonight? Have you seen the films? One film that really impressed me with the screenplay was Doubt with Meryl Streep. One liners throughout: rather simple but poignant and provided amazing foreshadowing. Leave comments and tips please.

If you have the talent, can write, and the imagination: then pursue the dream. Look at all the films being produced: they each have screenwriters. Hard working people whom never relented, and somehow reached their iniatial goal. Some have repeated their success often.
