Introduce Yourself : Introduction by Scot Blust

Hey, Scot Blust! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you! What an interesting twist, going from factory worker to writer! What made you take the plunge?

I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely reach out on the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) for insight into characters, dialogue, and even when you want to generate interest in a virtual table read!

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.

Hi, Kay! Actually, I've been writing for a long long time. In addition, I've had to learn my craft on my own. Circumstances prevented me from pursuing a screenwriting career until I could no longer work due to lung issues, which I view as a blessing in disguise. I have written and rewritten countless scripts in an effort to sharpen my skills. I've done well in the few contests that I've entered, but haven't really attempted to sell anything... yet. I'm currently finishing up my pet projects and preparing to move forward now that I have the time to commit myself wholeheartedly.

Nice story Scot....keep working and you will achieve your dream

Hi Scot! Fellow screenwriter and consultant here :) Nice to meet you!
