Hi, I'm Zenais. I'm a single mom of 2 boys, living in a little town in Belgium. I'm new to the world of screenwriting but I always wrote. It's my way to express my feelings. I Love to write about Humanity in each of its aspects. After a burnout in 2017, I decided to finally realize my so old dream. I'm 50, now, but will never give up.
I love to write stories about women's journey and want to promote women in the industry, lead actresses, director etc...
I never sent any script and so neither won any awards for one of my scripts but...One day, I'm working on it.
I'm always between the blank page feeling and the night compulsive writing. And as a good ADHD writer I have at least 10 unfinished stories/screenwriting on my computer. :D
I am looking to connect with you, learn from you all and share.

I was diagnosed with Adult ADD almost 20 years ago, Which was my penance for being romantically involved with a psychologist. I've learned to make that work for me. When I have those bursts of non-stop energy, I channel that into my writing.

Thank you for your welcome messages :) Just read the article Maurice Vaughan It's very interesting, especially because I'm currently working on the adaptation of a French book and didn't know if it was a good idea but the story resonated with my soul and hooked me. Thank you :)

I was diagnosed 4 years ago and been on ritualize since. As you I try to channel my high energy in writing. But when it came at night when you're alone with 2 children, it can be difficult. So, I'm searching to discipline myself and be able to write whenever I want/need :)

Hi Natí Feliciano-Soto In a moment, I could maybe submit or show the adaptation I'm working on, right now. I'm not ready yet. I know that I'm to perfectionist and don't trust myself enough. Working on these 2 points too LOL I'll keep writing, it's a promise. I need it, it's vital, in my guts. ;) Would love to see your work too :) Thank you :)

Hello Zenais! I can feel your warmth coming through the page, or the phone screen I should say! I've only been here a couple weeks, and for me what I like the best is the kindness that people show. I love to write also. Words are fascinating. It's beautiful that we need each other to encourage and inspire. Creative people must be creative or we start to wither away!
