Hi everyone! Thought I'd pop in and introduce myself.
I'm a Registered Nurse. Hospice. All of my patients have 6 months or less to live, for various reasons, and I visit them in their homes every week. Try to keep their pain at bay and provide emotional support. Stuff like that. Lots of stories ideas there!
I'm 56 and the mother of 2 children, who I adopted at birth, that were born by two different women - 19 hours apart - in June of 2005. Now there's another wild story!! They just started Kindergarten 2 weeks ago and I'm enjoying the hell out of seeing life through their young eyes.
My passion is screenwriting. I've got a Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Screenwriting from UCLA. In my spare time, which isn't much, I'm either working on a screenplay or analyzing someone else's screenplay as a Script Reader. I spend the school year in Tennessee because it's close to my extended family, and because my children attend a 'killer' Magnet school there. But, the summers I spend in West Hollywood going to screenwriting workshops, conferences and networking with actors, producers and writers. You can't have enough friends in the 'Industry' if you write screenplays.
I also enjoy writing short fiction pieces, meeting other writers, and reading their work. Hence, the reason I joined this forum.
I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone here.
