Outside the Loop

If you're reading this it's a good bet you have Final Draft or Movie Magic minimized on your other screen and you're wondering: What moon is she writing from, and am I on a similar revolving satellite? If you've ever asked the question "Is it possible (or even advisable) to be in the business of screenwriting when I don't live in Los Angeles?" Then you, my friend, have landed on the right rock.

Since "blog" is the combo of "blather" and "log" (I'm guessing), that is what I'll be doing. Rambling about writing screenplays and trying to get them read by industry professionals, sold, and on the screen. And since of this date you won't find me on IMDB ... you know I'm still in the trenches. There's no one way to break in, and I can only talk about my attempts and perhaps help you avoid my mistakes to save valuable time. I've taught a few screenwriting classes, and there's always a great interest in what tools or resources are the best in the scrum of websites devoted to the art. Hopefully along the way I can impart some wisdom in that regard. Or this blog just might be my way of steering away from my Final Draft screen whenever I get stuck...we'll see.
