Hey, everyone. My name's Maurice. I'm a screenwriter, ghostwriter, commercial writer, pitch deck designer, and Stage 32 Lounge Moderator in the Screenwriting Lounge and Writers’ Room Lounge. What's one victory you've had? Big or small. It can be from years ago, this year, this week, or today.

Hi Maurice, in 2019, capital fund screenplay competition, my screenplay is a hot 100 winner #83. Not bad

Hi Maurice, one victory I had was my first ever award and it was through Stage 32. I received quarterfinalist in the New Voices In Animation Screenwriting competition last year. That gave me the confidence to keep going and since then I've won more awards and now have an agent interested.

Hola Maurice! My biggest victories are completing not one, not two, but three screenplay drafts this month!
I now 2 stage plays based around my family; 1 tv sitcom pilot; 1 biopic limited tv series pilot; and I just drafted a psychological thriller screenplay. I can finally say that writer's block is no longer allowed around these parts.

Hola, LaDonna Tutt. Congratulations on completing three drafts this month! And congratulations on all the projects you've finished! I'm glad you're not having writer's block anymore! "Now listen up, writer's block. Don't let me see your face around these parts anymore, ya hear me? Get on now." :D

Right now I am in a worldwide tour of film festivals for my short film, Forgiving Retribution. It is doing amazingly well, having won in many festivals in just the first two months of my completing the film. It has shown in Cannes, Rome and soon London and New York. I just got back from the Marina del Rey film festival where I was able to see it for the first time on the big screen. I plan on a year of festivals before finally releasing it to the public. I hope this gathers enough attention to get my feature produced, Jingle Bell Rock. That is the plan...
