My name is Jeff White, and I'm an aspiring screenwriter working on my first script. I've been on Stage 32 for almost a year (I think) and have connected with great people. These Introduce Yourself weekends are nice prompts to hopefully meet more. This time, however, I thought I would try to be more specific to a more immediate goal of mine. I'm very interested in talking and perhaps even collaborating with other screenwriters, perhaps either building or become part of a community where we can help each other, share stories, experience, tips, etc. I'm interested in all genres but I particularly enjoy the sci-fi/fantasy genre. I've been a long-time comic book fan and the script I'm currently working on is inspired by those stories I read growing up. I'm really in the process of learning as I go and I'm particularly interested in building my craft as a storyteller. Specifically, taking the idea that I have and fleshing it out into a fully-realized outlined story. I've always worked better in collaboration with others, and I have found this part to be somewhat challenging working in isolation. I've watched a number of Stage 32 webinars related to screenwriting and they have been very helpful, but I'm interested in gathering information from as many sources as I can, and of course any help or assistance I could provide in return, I would be more than happy to do. I'm an editor for a government publication and I would be happy to use my skills and experience in a more creative fashion. I hope everyone enjoying this weekend.

Hi Jeff, nice to meet you. I am actually looking for something similar. I have written some short scripts and longish ones. I have done some script exchange with other members and found that very helpful. The only hiccup could be that I don't write sci-fi. Anyways, you can have a look at some of my scripts on here and tell me what you think!
Hi Marcela, thanks for your offer. I am currently working on my first script and I hope soon to have it ready to be read by other screenwriters who can hopefully give me some useful information to improve my skills.... or at the very least, tell me if I have any potential to get better :) In the meantime, I will have a look at your scripts and give you whatever insight I can. Is there anything specific area(s) you'd like me to focus on? Plot? Pacing? Structure?
