New Season; New Direction

It is now time to kick my screenwriting into gear because I am officially done with school!  I now have a BA in Social Science.  I'm just waiting to receive my diploma and get official word on any honors I've been awarded.  In my previous post I mentioned that I was going to college in order to become a teacher.  Well, that has changed.  In my journey to become a teacher I realized that my real passion is screenwriting.  It's what I've always wanted to do.  I also realized I already like what I do, working for KCRA 3 as a broadcast operations technician.  So, I decided that since school got me so used to managing my time wisely in order to balance family, work, and school, I'm going to keep up the momentum and replace school with screenwriting.  I already have a file loaded with ideas that are waiting to be developed.  And I just purchased Final Draft professional screenwriting software with a gift card my step mom gave me for Christmas.  (Thanks Becky!)  So I'm ready and eager to get cracking! 


Now that my journey into screenwriting has begun I'll be posting here more often so you can ride along with me on this road.  I'm certain their will be plenty of challenges ahead, but the cool thing is I'm not doing this just to get rich.  I'm doing this because I love movies and I love writing them!  I've got a creative itch I simply MUST scratch or I'll go psycho.  I've heard it said that the most valuable land on Earth is the cemetery because of all the dreams that are buried there.  I don't want my dream to go with me to the grave like a song that was never sung.  I simply must write!  I am compelled to do so! 


I'm starting a screenplay right now...stay tuned!
