Hi everyone, I'm sure some of you are wondering why I post new Log Lines from time-to-time and don't immediately followup with screenplays to go along with them. The Main Reason: Multiple Sclerosis, I was diagnosed approx. 13 years ago. It is an insidious condition, trust me. Fortunately I'm in much better shape than I thought I'd be by now. Truth to tell I thought I'd be wheel-chair bound, but I only have to use a cane instead. I was lucky to get onto a Clinical Trial of a new MS Medicine that worked for me. I still take it, 1 little blue pill/day. The downside of MS is the fact I get tired really easily, both physically and mentally. After about one hour on the computer my feet swell up to about twice normal size. It's painful. Really painful! Coming up with Dialogue is easy and fun, in fact that's the part of writing I enjoy most. But my handwriting has always been terrible as well. So that eliminates that as a possibility. I really don't mean to complain. I know for a fact there are people out there in much, much worse shape than me and if I were religious (I'm NOT!!!) I'd thank God every day for what I have.
And for you folks who think, to use an old expression, "I'm all Hat and no Cattle," I assure you I'm not. I've accomplished a great many things in my 67 years and I intend to do much more in the years I have remaining. I even plan to surprise myself occasionally.

Hey, William Gunn! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you! Wow, such an inspiring post! What are you working on right now?
Would you be interested in participating in the “Monday Motivation" challenge I posted in the Producing Lounge? It's just a fun way to get to know people through their favorite quotes: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing/Monday-Motivation-No-one-can-ac...
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time.
Thanks Kay. My Neverending Project is MARS GENERAL! I've been working on that in one form or another for well over a decade or longer. Some of the Dialogue was written at least 15-16 years ago in fact It's been my Albatross. My ultimate goal is to see it Produced in one form or another. It's not about the Money....It's now a matter of Pride and Honor! And perhaps a little Insanity! Maybe a lot of Insanity! But it's my Insanity and I have to live with it every Bloody Damned Day!!!
