Introduce Yourself : Writer by Julia E. Antoine

Hi, I am new here to the group as well as the tv-film-print-writing world. Creativity runs in my blood; I'm now searching to get back to my first love. I also am searching for a very talented (satirical) 'FILM WRITER' who is familiar with the Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn stories. I think its long overdo for kids having a modern day hero like Sawyer & Huck. Kids love heroes esp with a little bit of a badboy edge since he never felt accepted, loved and appreciated. Parents were under alot more stress than usual during the Depression. Kids would endear such a character like my dad...he could always make people laugh...usually at him. He was quite nieve at the same time, with a tad of genius and curious mind. Always building, fixing things and performing scientific experiments. My dad just got his book on his Runnemede, southern NJ childhood finished in the knick of time written to his grandkids. Stanley Peterson now deceased (born 1928). He was a gifted, nievely funny kid living thru the Depression but living like a modern-day Tarzan...living in the woods and swimming in the ponds and making his own toys from the local dumpster trash. Had a very old but handsome Swedish farmer descent dad. Always serious, stern with childraising and often losing it with his typical: "JESUS CHRIST!" His mom was a total opposite, very satirically Irish descent, a very young girl who loved joking with the guys and shooting cans in the basement as well as a self-taught pianist and artsy but too immature to be a typical mom. He had 3 younger bratty brothers and and pretty but prissy scared older jealous sister.
