1. How old are you?

21...and a half. Yesterday.

2. How long have you been writing? Or what age did you start?

I've been writing crappy poems and silly short-stories since I was 15. Scripts since last year.

3. In your experience, is good writing a natural talent or something that people learn to do?

Both. I believe storytelling is a natural gift, and turning it into a script is craftmanship you learn along the way. Or don't.

4. What is your current profession? You know, the one that pays the bills...

I do freelance subtitle translation for movies from English to Danish when I'm not studying.

5. Have you had any scripts produced? If so, how many?

Nope. Never tried.

6. Are you only interested in writing or also producing, directing, or something else related to this craft?

Only writing as of right now.

7. What writer(s) inspires you to write?

Different people at different times. Right now Joseph Conrad and Graham Greene.

8. What music inspires you to write?

Regina Spektor. Definitely. Every one of her songs is a short story.

9. What is your all time favorite tv show? Just one.

Just one, huh? I was gonna go for The Simpsons, but haven't watched that show since season 10. So...I'm gonna go with Freaks and Geeks.

10. What is your all time favorite movie? Just one.

Probably Leon.

1. How old are you?...30
2. How long have you been writing? or what age did you start?...I started at about 10 give or take a few years.
3. In your experience, is good writing a natural talent or something that people learn to do?...Both, I feel it takes both. You know the old adage, to write what you know? Well living a life similar to your characters helps but you could always use your research and observation skills to write a believable character. The feeling behind their emotions is a different story though IMO
4. What is your current profession? You know, the one that pays the bills...?...Writing
5. Have you had any scripts produced? If so, how many?...Yes, as cowriter and in projects in the process of being filmed
6. Are you only interested in writing or also producing, directing, or something else related to this craft?...Interested in all aspects
7. What writer(s) inspires you to write?...My Mother
8. What music inspires you to write?...My own and anything that catches my ear that excentuates the mood of the piece.
9. What is your all time favorite tv show? Just one...X-Files
10. What is your all time favorite movie? Just one...Amistad
