I am 45, married and have 3 children ( 1 adult and 2 teenagers not children anymore ). Self learning to screenwrite as a hobby and a little project for me to do. I have been trying to get a story out of my head for two years and I finally managed to get started on it. I just written the logline ( rubbish - know it needs work ) and posted it on here for review. There is so much to learn. Hopefully, this site will come in useful and who knows maybe my project may take off.

Hi Zoe, welcome!

A couple of links to get you started:

The Beginner's Guide to Simply Scripts
https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-cc/m-1124159895/

Screenwriting Class
https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-screenwrite/

Lots of friendly helpful people here on the boards. Read and review other people's scripts ( you don't need to be an expert) and you'll get return reads.

And, we have a writing challenge coming up in October.
Check out past challenges here:
