Greetings From Wisconsin, USA
Hello to all and my name is Mike.
I'm a 49 year old tradesman who has had the nagging feeling for years that I just might be able to write something that others would pay to read/produce.
College professors encouraged me to write and I actually did get 60 pages of "my novel" written. I had no concept of plot, character arc or any of the other things you at least have to have a notion of. So I'm going to spend the next several months reading a couple of carefully chosen books, get a copy of Final Draft and have at a screenplay.
Wish me luck!
