Introduce Yourself : Newbie lookin' for a new home to toss things around... by Mark DaSilva

Newbie lookin' for a new home to toss things around...

Allow me to clarify. Newbie here, but not to writing. Written over a dozen screenplays over the years (thrillers mostly), was once under contract for writing on spec, even had a B-level actor hip-pocketing another one (which obviously went nowhere). After kids, took a hiatus with that and my day job and now I'm back to punching my keyboard once more. Anyway, looking forward to joining a new community. Been around awhile on another site that was similar (Zoetrope) but that spot has seen better days. A few of my scripts placed in their Top Three a few times, back when they had 150+ submissions. I, myself, was a Top 10% reviewer there as well. I am also converting one of my scripts into a novel, which had been both euphoric and frustrating at times. Just completed my 2nd rewrite. Surprisingly, I still have hair. Cheers!

You're in great company here, Mark. Over 90,000 screenwriters in the community and, as mentioned when you joined, over a half million creatives worldwide. Don't be afraid to jump right in. Definitely upload a headshot when you have a moment. It will certainly help with your networking.
