Hello, I've been on here for a while, but this is my first time posting. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I'm Joretta and am an emerging television writer though I plan to write a feature soon. Before this, I was writing articles online about television shows, movies, fashion, and diversity. I look forward to networking with you all, and I thank you for this space!

Great to meet you, Joretta Morris, and welcome to the community! So glad you decided to post! Congrats on your feature - what will you be writing about? Is there a genre you prefer writing?
Wow, I hope you're writing something that includes growing up homeless - I'd be interested to see more about that story! When I worked at a community college, I was surprised to find out that some of our students were homeless. Mind-blowing. There is a film out right now called "Flag Day" that includes some aspects of teen homelessness.

Thank you everyone! My favorite genres for tv are drama and dramedy. I'm still torn on which idea I want to start with in regard to my first feature.

You don't have to decide that ahead of time. Just dive into whatever interests you, and as you get feedback, you'll whittle it down to what it needs to be. Do you have a group of writers that keep you active and accountable?

Joretta Morris, Drama and Dramedy are fun to write. They can be cheap to film (micro-budget and low-budget), which is attractive to producers, directors, and production companies.

No worries, Joretta Morris! Stage 32 is a great place to meet people to build those accountability groups. If you're interested in joining the Writer's Room, definitely reach out to our Director of Script Services, Jason Mirch, who can send you a link for your first month free: J.Mirch@stage32.com The Writer's Room members host several "Writer's Cafes" where members can log on to a Zoom call for a block of writing time. It's been super helpful for accountability!
Then again, you can also start your own ;-) Gather your tribe here, and have fun!
Where can I read your reviews Jorettta
I meant no disrespect with my last comment
