I studied acting in NYC from 1998-2001 and have an inclination to work in English ever since. I guess my subconscious established that my "workmode" is in English and this keeps manifesting. I have no correct spelling or grammar, but that´s true for my German writing also. I think in pictures. I have directed some short films, taught myself editing and draw cartoons sometimes. If there is a story, I see pictures. I have also worked with actors (paid as casting director and language coach) and enjoy that a lot. So far that has been mutual. I´m in the process of founding a website for German scriptwriters, were writers can work on their craft and bring the best, most polished pieces forward. So stay tuned for more on this, if you´re interested. (Maybe that way I can get my subconscious reprogrammed to set "workmode" in my native tounge...) There are children in my life and a garden full of stinging nettle that need my care. So weekends I´m offline. Cheers to all and everyone out there who is dedicated to creating beauty, wisdom, laughter, tears and a deep experience of life! Paula

Hi Paula - I just joined too. Coincidentally, I live in NYC and am heading to Berlin next Thursday! Looking forward to checking out your city. My husband too was an actor in NYC (around your time) and is now a screenwriter and filmmaker. Lots in common. Who knows. Maybe our paths will cross one day!
Beautiful Introduce Yourself post, Paula. You had me at "I think in pictures". Very much look forward to your contributions here!
Hi Paula, we have a screenwriting group on Meetup. You should join us and meet other Berlin screenwriters!
