Hello everyone, I am glad I found this site. I've always had an interest in writing and in movie making and as you can tell by my user name, I enjoy songwriting as well. I'm just learning the ins and outs of script writing so I don't actually have a script to submit. Yet. So far I have read a couple of the unproduced scripts (enjoyed them a lot and learned a lot from them too) plus I have read just about every post on the first 3 pages of the "Screen Writing Class" trying to learn as much as I could about the whole process. I knew that at some point I had to stop reading what to do and get busy on the "doing" so I downloaded Celtx and started hacking away at my first screen play. Everything that I have learned from you guys so far is starting to sink in and is really helping me a lot. But I have a long way to go so needless to say I will be back with questions :) Outside of learning script writing I am a songwriter. One of my songs was published in a local magazine as the featured song and another song I co-wrote has received radio play in the United States. I also wrote a weekly newspaper column for a while (on recording and songwriting) and I am in the process of building a new recording studio. I've always enjoyed the whole movie making process - from framing the shots, to editing, sound design and so on but without a script I couldn't really persue it. When I first found the section on unpublished scripts I was hoping to find a short script to shoot but instead I found a place that helped me put my own ideas down in an organized way so I could actually write my own movie. And, for that, I thank you. Chat soon, Kenn

What kind of music do you write?
Mostly country/folk. Lots of Ballads. Some older style rock and roll.
I listen to just about everything, but my writing style is mostly country.

Welcome my Canadian brother. Good luck on your quest for writing that one great script.
Here is a link from the main page that may help you.
http://www.simplyscripts.com/WR_resource.html Thats a resource Don has put in place for various writing terms and or formats. Looks helpful for one not knowing a lot.
I wish you luck and say welcome...
