Hello! New Guy Here.......

Hello all, how's it goin'? Good I hope. I'm pretty new to writing so this looks like the place I need to be. I've been writing poetry off and on for years. Aside from that I haven't done a whole lot of writing. After doing some soul searching awhile back I began to think maybe I could have a real career with screenwriting. I have an extremely vivid imagination and unbelievable creativity and I can't think of a better career to utilize these gifts than screenwriting.

I've read some about screenwriting in "Screenplay" by Syd Field and "Writing A Great Movie" by Jeff Kitchen, but I wasn't able to finish either. I kept getting distracting by doing other things, surfing the 'Net (my biggest problem and what I waste so much time doing) and watching television. I'm really lacking in the motivation department so I'm hoping these forums might help me with that. I've got a great story (I think so anyway) in the works and I know if I stick with it and stay focused I will surely be successful. So I thank you all in advance for the knowledge you share. I look forward to learning all that I can about screenwriting from you. Thanks and take care......

Hey Prodigy, welcome to SS! It's give and take here. Read some scripts from others, they'll return the favour on your's. That's how it works.

I've been on the site more than five years now, it's a terrific environment for young writers. Enjoy it here!
