Introduce Yourself : Hi All. I am a new screenwriter. I used to call myself a wannabe screenwriter, but after six shorts, one feature and a podcast script, I am simply - a screenwriter. I have not placed in contests or sold anything - yet, but I am improving day by day. by Don McHaney

Hi All. I am a new screenwriter. I used to call myself a wannabe screenwriter, but after six shorts, one feature and a podcast script, I am simply - a screenwriter. I have not placed in contests or sold anything - yet, but I am improving day by day.

Hey, Don McHaney! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and welcome! Congrats on knocking out so many scripts, that's fantastic! Hey, progress is the name of the game - keep at it! Are you participating in the Nov. Write Club? It's not too late, and it's free! https://www.stage32.com/blog/The-Stage-32-November-Write-Club-is-Back-When-Its-Needed-Most

If you've got a logline for any of your scripts, you can post it to your profile so visiting members can inquire about them: https://www.stage32.com/loglines There's actually an upcoming webinar that I think you'd enjoy since the leap from short to feature can be daunting, but knowing how to build your structure in an outline can really help with that: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/Outline-Your-Screenplay-and-Nail-Your-S...

I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely reach out on the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) for insight into characters, dialogue, and even when you want to generate interest in a virtual table read!

Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time.
