Thank you for the intel Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Kim Monroe. You could post your scripts on your profile. Producers search profiles for projects. That and networking are how I sold four short scripts to a producer. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your scripts on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Thank you all for your support.

You're welcome, Ernest Pick. Are you working on any other scripts?

Best wishes !

LUCK!

Keeping everything crossed for you, Ernest Pick

Haley Mary hello! yes, I can write music to existing lyrics. I used to do it all the time with my sister who lives in Wisconsin!

Sam, that's awesome! Would you be willing to write some lyrics to my friend and mine's lyrics? I can pass my friend's email along to you in a message if you're interested in helping.

Haley Mary you mean music to your friend and your lyrics? I can definitely do that! the only problem is, is until Dec 17, I am a bit swamped. finishing my masters in conducting. but after Dec 17, I will be all free to help.

Sorry. Yeah, I meant music. Darn auto correct. That's okay. It can wait a little while. We've been waiting for years to find serious musicians to help out.

Haley Mary no worries! thanks for being flexible in that regard. once I am done with my semester, I will message you. looking forward to it!

"Hi Maurice, thank you so much for this extremely helpful and kind message!

I really appreciate you pointing me toward the Success Team and Geoff—I will reach out to success@stage32.com right away about my projects, especially THE VENICE GLASS HOUSE.

I'm also going to check out the November Writer Club and the blog post. That's fantastic advice for connecting and improving my craft.

Hi, J'Nae! I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my aunt to leukemia in 2013. I love writing poetry, too. Are there any specific genres of poetry that you write?

My condolences, Haley Mary.

Thanks, Maurice. She passed the week before Christmas, so that time of year is always tough.

You're welcome, Haley Mary. I hope it's not as tough this year.

Powerful message! Breaking free from 'normal' expectations is essential for authentic storytelling. Your journey inspires!

Such great wisdom....I am on a similar path of personal enlightenment I suppose you could say. Such wisdom is earned, not given - I, like you I am sure, am so appreciative of the experiences and people that have reinforced this idea for me and allowed me to get comfortable with discarding the idea of 'normal' being a goal and destination.

Thank you, Phuc

Thank you, Darrell

Thank you Ashley

“Maurice, I love the discipline you’re bringing into November. That ‘outline + rewrite’ rhythm?

That’s how writers sharpen steel.

Keep pushing — the pages always reward the ones who show up for them.”

“Brandy, thank you — and you’re so right. Low and slow is where the magic tenderizes. I’ll definitely reach out to the Success Team as I move into this next chapter.”

“Cyrus, thank you — I’m excited too. I’ll keep the community posted as new doors open. Appreciate the welcome!”

“Adelaide, thank you — that means more than you know. If I lifted you even a little, then the work is already doing its job. Keep climbing — the next chapter is always waiting.”

Charmane Wedderburn those 3 things really resonate with me , thank you for sharing and I love the sound of your thanksgiving script !

Thanks, Doug Kayne. A tropical detective series sounds interesting. Catchy title! What's it about, or are you keeping the plot under wraps?

Maurice Vaughan It's still in the outlining, pre-writing stage (although I have written the first few scenes). Couple of resort detectives solving the murder of their partner.

Happy Introduce Yourself Weekend, Doug Kayne!

Thanks, Ashley Renee Smith!

This one seemed to be a bit challenging... The theme for this post: John Candy!

It's 6am in England, and I read that as a 'feral employee' which, funnily enough, describes me... haha! Good luck with your writing!

Liz, that is incredibly frustrating when you can't remember an idea. My short term memory is bad, so if I don't write something down right away, it's just lost to the void. During the summer when I was cycling, I'd often make notes on my phone so that I could look at the title or line when I got home, so I'd remember what I wanted to write.

Welcome to the club. :)

Welcome!! Love that you turned to writing, especially that Hallmark space. It's an area of the marketplace that tends to be more receptive to new writers breaking in.

Laura Notarianni Thank you! I'm happy to be here - I think there are many opportunities to learn and collaborate. I seem to be on a writing role after almost ten years of nothing...happy Thursday!

Haha Ashley Renee Smith!

James Lagrimas, thank you for such generous words. It’s been a joy watching you step deeper into your new role on the Education Team. The care and clarity you bring to every class and event truly elevates the experience for our members. And thank you for the kind words about my own creative growth. It means a lot. One of my favorite parts of this job is getting to grow alongside the people who make this space so special.

Also, Rupert appreciates the shout-out, he’s convinced he’s the real Head of Community.

Brandy Camille, I’m going to be smiling about this comment for the rest of the week. Thank you. You bring such heart, humor, and integrity to everything you do, and having you as a partner in this work has been one of the best parts of my year.

Cyrus Sales, you made me laugh with that double take, thank you for that and for the incredibly kind words. I’m so grateful for you and the energy you bring to this community. You show up with curiosity, generosity, and a genuine desire to grow, and it makes a real difference here.

Awe so cute

Great to see you and Happy Introduce Yourself Weekend, Bill! I have to say… the line “The good news is you’ve created something unique. The bad news is you’ve created something unique” absolutely made me laugh. That’s the eternal curse and blessing of bold sci-fi worldbuilding — and clearly your universe in The Brittle Riders takes that to a whole other level.

Also, as someone who loves Chicago, I appreciate the hometown pride! I went to Columbia College Chicago, and it will always have a special place in my heart.

Ashley Renee Smith A guy I played in bands with is a teacher there. He's the one standing in the back. I'm on the far left in leather.

big budget unless AI

Jon Shallit Yep. Although a mixture of both has been bandied about. We shall see. I hope you enjoyed the PR materials.

That's so wild, Bill McCormick!
