Hello Everyone... I live in Toronto, Canada. I write Features, mostly in the crime/suspense/mystery/thriller genre. If you've just joined Stage 32, it's a great place to be. 2015 was a banner year for me. For the first time, I entered and placed in contests. I was invited to the Bahamas Screenwriter's Residency Program.... which was amazing.... only 12 writers were invited. All the mentors were from L.A. It was totally awesome. My goal for 2016, finish the novel I started and then adapt it into a screenplay... and hopefully get a writing assignment in my genre. Best to all, -Sylvia

Aawww Jorge, muchas gracias. I'm already booked for the Nashville Writer's Conference in April. Since the Bahamas experience, I'm now really keen to meet decision makers face-to-face and have one-on-ones again. You're a serious writer, you should come. How's it going with you? Any goals set for this year?

Thank you RB. I watched your Oscars webinar with Alex Ferrari just this afternoon. Enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for posting it. I was there 'live'... but kept losing the connection. So I was thrilled to get a second chance. You and Alex are so damn brilliant with your critiques. It's great to hear opinions from folks that live down there in the trenches. Thank you again. I'm going to send a note to Alex as well. XOXO

Sylvia, I'm writing a romance, with my usual dark twist, my 7 screenplay, hope to have 9 by the end of 2016. Gotta write them as they come or else I lose them. Cheers!

Hey Sylvia. Congrats on your residency. Glad it went so well. I remember how excited you were to get it. I'm still working on my script from the NWC, hoping to finish this month. Better late then never - lol

Thanks for watching the webcast, Sylvia, and for all the kind words! Alex and I had a blast putting it together. We'll see if any of our handicapping pays off on Oscar night!

I feel you, Robert, but like RB, just told me: Take it one day at a time. You got this, brother.

Hey all, I voted for my Oscar picks here on Stage 32. A great benefit?... you still have time to change your mind/vote before the deadline. Hmmm... I'm already having second thoughts about a couple of them. Darn! Have fun everyone!!

Tough sledding this year, Sylvia! Some truly wide open categories!
That's what makes it even more exciting. No shoe-ins. So looking forward to it. I even sent ballots over to my restaurant for all my customers to partake. My staff think I'm weird. LOL

@Aray... it's a suspense/thriller, based on a true story... set in San Francisco... about a young runaway that moves into a rooming house and soon discovers that the new guy in the room next to hers has just been released from a psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. I have 15 chapters written and plan to adapt it into a screenplay when it's done. Hopefully finish it this year.

The Canada-to-Bahamas trip must have felt incredible, I'm from the North as well and can barely make it through these winters!

@Samuel... Welcome to Stage 32 !! Thank you, yes the trip was fantastic, apart from the mentorship, I got to fly in a WWII plane from one island to the next. We were lucky this year, pretty mild until the last 3 weeks. The last 2 years were brutal so I'm not complaining. How's it going? What are you working on?

Hi Jeff.... no I don't... haven't tried... they tend to do period pieces I think. But if you have an agent have him/her contact them... because they don't accept unsolicited scripts. Sounds like Templar Odyssey is something they might like. All their contact info is on www.imdbpro.com if you can't access it... let me know. I'm a member.
