Changing careers

Good morning! I have decided to come back into the field of writing. I was Living in Northern CA & decided to move to a less expensive state, so I could Restart my writing career. I moved To Spokane, WA. Beautiful and more affordable. Currently in rewrite on a Rom-Com and also taking a course for script reader. I can Concentrate more now that I do Not have to work so much to live. Lol. Early 2008-10 I was Doing lots of LA bound classes and pitches. I did Have lots of interest in a concept by Lifetime. But some life happened and I had to leave this part. But now I am Back!!! I did Loose lots of contacts, but that is ok. Any ideas much appreciated! Have a wonderful day!

Hey, Cheri Nelson! Welcome back! ;-) I was looking over your profile, but you don't have much there. Tell me about yourself!

DUDE, you need to get on that RomCom! Stage32 has hosted several free Q&As of late with executives who are all saying that productions companies want comedies. Definitely join us in the Screenwriting Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting but also consider joining the Writer's Room to brush up your pitch for those executives: https://www.stage32.com/writersroom

Enjoy exploring, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too!

Hello Cheri and I did the same! I moved from Nor Cal to Vancouver, WA. I love it here and find it much easier to live and thrive. I want to support and encourage you!

Thank You Rebecca. I appreciate That. We should keep in touch. I have Never been to Vancouver, but heard it is real nice there. I am Working in a romcom. I started It years ago and had a script analysis done in it. Tore it apart. Lol. So I have Not picked it back up and giving it another go. Also have an idea, which I outlined All ready, on another. Plus—-I am taking some classes. Thank you!!

Welcome back, Cheri! I'm in Seattle, but definitely think Spokane (and nearby Couer D'Alene) are pretty charming places. It's tough when we have to put aside our creative selves when life intervenes (had a bit of experience myself recently) but it's so great when we get it back, right? Wishing you the best!

Cheri Nelson

Thank you for you encouragement Brian. I was going to head over to Seattle for a visit next week, but decided against it. Lol. I agree with this being a nice area. I have been here a year. I am trying to stay focused and not be discouraged with these trying times. But I am pretty much a positive person, so I will prevail!! Lol. Again thank you for your words. Cheri

Hi, Cheri! I never did make it to L.A. because of the cost. I'm in Denver and it's getting pretty expensive here, too. That's awesome that you've had interest in your work before. Keep on writing!!
