Hello everyone! My name's Bill and I just registered. Just wanted to say a warm hello and thanks for the registration! I haven't been screenwriting long; I'm a complete novice -- if that -- but looking forward to learning some things from you all. :D

I hate to be one of THOSE people, but the best way I can say it is I've "dabbled" in creative writing … not in any official sense, just in a way that means that I sometimes write for fun. But screenwriting is something entirely new to me, though the interest has always been there. It can be a drag sometimes because most of my hobbies include writing, so at the end of the day, my eyes can get a bit strained. But it's one of the few things I enjoy, anyway :)

Looking forward to "meet" you all!

Hey Bill, welcome aboard. :) Great place right here if screenwriting is what you're in'ta.

Anyways, if you plan on posting any of your work I'd suggest reading/reviewing other people's stuff, maybe start in the short section because there's an abundance of good ones to choose from. That way, when you do post something, you'll get some feedback!

Hope to see you around more!
