As we sat at tables arranged around the room and the Lecturer sat in the centre. I felt the nerves set in. You know, the dry mouth and sweaty palms. We had all taken a character each in a Shakespeare Play in my "A" level English Lit classes. The girls were natural and one girl performed with such gusto that my feeble delivery seemed all the more timid. I knew I would never be an actor but I did love stories.
The irony is I did in some ways become an actor. An "Actor with a pencil". I became a Lead Animator for Walt Disney Feature Animation. With a pencil I could hide behind I could become anyone or anything....................... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/art-acting-richard-bazley-fpbse%3Ftrackin...

Great article, Richard Mark Bazley! The part about you being an "Actor with a pencil." I feel like that as a screenwriter. I'm creating characters, scenes, etc. but I feel like I'm acting out those things, especially since I like to act out the dialogue and action.
