Hello Stage32 community. I am an aspiring writer from the Eastern Panhandle of the beautiful mountain state of West Virginia, not far from the metro D.C. area. I have been writing for quite some time, but as most I have only been writing for myself as a hobby and creative outlet. Over the past couple of years I have decided to start publishing my writing where I can, with the hopes of being able to follow this passion on a more regular, full-time basis. I was excited to find out about Stage32 and the potential it provides. I obviously don't expect a magic bullet, in that all my professional writing aspirations will come true overnight, but I am excited about the idea of learning and collaborating with like-minded people. My writing has become an obsession, to the point that I'm writing from my iPhone while on my breaks at work or in bed at night before I go to sleep. The plan is to ride that wave of obsession and pursue my passion full-time. I'm excited to be here and look forward to virtually meeting you all! -James
Hi James, good to meet you here. I have no magic bullet, but I strongly believe you're on the right track. Writing every day is the key to success. And if it becomes your routine, ney, obsession as you said it, that means you got past that point already. You can find support here via the screenwriting lounge, and access via Happy Writers, but most of all, there's thousands of people here, so if there's something you need, or something you can offer back, don't forget to connect with other creatives and start the conversation.
Thanks for the kind words Tomasz, much appreciated. I am really looking forward to communicating and collaborating with people here.
