@Dan -- Thanks, Dan! That puts me at ease a lot more. So, it's nice to hear, especially from someone the same age Thanks for the welcome, and yea Thistles was a very good read! I love "movies" like that, with gritty, urban indie feels to them so I enjoyed it a lot.
And, hahahahaha, glad choo like all 'dem nicknames then! You seem awesome!
@Mark -- Agh! Oh my God! Another Irish?! Say what?! Well mate, what about c'ye? You seem like good craic like, Markkkk! Hahahaha, it's comforting to see someone use Belfast slang, so thanks for the warm welcome! And hey! In Belfast we hardly made the ice-berg, did we "ni"
Yea, it so far seems like a really great site with considerate and nice users, I think I'll stick around!
"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story..."
@Stevie: Ha, Curtster. Another nickname to add to the pile I'm not big on Aussie's at the moment, 'cause my Aunt is out living there at the moment and she cannot find a job. Damn you Down Undah, give her a job, hahaha. Either way, you seem awesome! Thanks for the welcome!
And agh, Mark! That is my other dream! Dream 1) Become a professional screen-writer. Dream 2) Live in NYC.
Cannot believe you went from Derry to NY, good for you! And excitement! I am going on holiday to New York City on March 28th, and will be staying on a 7th Avenue Apartment/Hotel thing for six days!
I'll be sure to give it a look also, if you say it's dah craic like!

That's because all the jobs are going to the Kiwis who get sick of New Zealand and move to the "better" country instead
Good to see you meeting people you can relate to. You'll be just fine over here...
Woo-boy. There, you went and did it! For the record, both Dogglebe (Phil) and I live in NYC. Bronx, to be exact (the part of NY with the toughest reputation.)
Honestly, wouldn't live anywhere else! Although I'd really love to travel more, if the budget were available for such things...
For what it's worth - visited Ireland about twenty years ago, and really enjoyed it. Scotland, too....
But - if you've got any NYC questions, feel free to ask.
New York City is somewhere I have always wanted to live in.
Hopefully I love it when I finally visit in March! Yea, Ireland is fun. It's just boring at times. Not where I want my life to be. The weather sucks also. I haven't had a warm day in five months. Snow, rain, wind... Yea. Lol.
And I will, I'm sure my Aunt and Cousin whom I will be travelling with will have lots, so I shall note them and make sure to ask you! Thanks
"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story..."
Great! Feel free to pick our brains. Just to start off... You've probably already done alot of research on NYC already. But - IMHO - DON'T miss out out on the following trips:
* Chinatown * A HUGE trip to the East Village, and all the restaurants and shops! (This will probably take an entire day) * Then a walk through Times Square, just to see all the neon... (With glimpses of the Empire State Building, Grand Central, and 5th avenue, and maybe the Museum of Natural History - if you're into such things.)
@Janet -- I deffo want to visit Chinatown, apparently the atmosphere is amazing. And I'm staying somewhere on 7th Avenue so tackling Times Square will be a breeze! I wanna ride a subway, I wanna go to Trinity Church, do a tour, so many things!
@Mark -- And what?! Mark, that is amazing! That is such a fairytale! Right on, muckarrr!
And I noticed a typo. You said Derry. Clearly you mean Belfast, right?
"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story..."
Janet brings up some good things, but there are plenty more.
Saint Patrick's Cathedral is pretty incredible, whether or not you are Catholic, or even religious;
While the Statue of Liberty is very difficult (if not impossible) to get into now, you can always see it from the Staten Island Ferry. It's a very impressive ride and it's free.
The Museum of Natural History is awesome. Two words for ya: dinosaur. bones.
The Intrepid Air Sea and Space Museum should still have the Challenger space shuttle.
The East Village is something you want to do at night, particularly Saint Mark's Place.
If you were of drinking age, I could've told you where to go for drinking. Too bad.
Wow, Phil all of that sounds great! Gah, I wish I could fit it all in! I'll only be in NYC for six days, and knowing my cousin and Aunt they'll wanna go shopping mad!
"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story..."
I, for one, look forward to reading your script and as mentioned by several people here, age makes no mind. You're getting a great head start on your writing.
I didn't even think about writing until a few years ago and I'm now 50.
Have fun, write a lot and by all means...
If you see a fight brewing on a thread, let me know about it, so we can get into it together.
Shawn, you seem like my 'kinda guy! Yes, I would say I am a people person for sure! I love meeting new people, I already feel like this is an awesome community of clearly talented writers!
I am glad people on here do not seem to think age matters. It is so nice to see such open-minded, likable people!
And, hahahahaha @ the fight thing! You're awesome, man! I am totally against violence, but I will watch at the sidelines and cheer you on with a pitch fork for sure!
