Hello to everyone new and no-so-new. I'm in the latter category myself, having been a member of Stage 32 for more than a few years now. I started back when I had little more than an idea in mind for a script, and now I've completed a first draft of my original genre story, "Max White and the Nuclear Men".
I've begun working on a second draft, but I have been working in my own silo for a long time and haven't had any feedback from anyone - particularly other screenwriters. Truthfully, I'm a bit of an introvert and I could happily toil away on my own, but I want to learn and get better at this thing, and no one can do that alone. And, at this point in my travels, I really feel the need to be part of a community.
One thing I've heard many veteran writers stress is the importance of being part of a community of writers so that you can share your work to get and give feedback. I'm hoping I can build some connections with other writers who would be willing to share their work and ideas with each other, and perhaps build some professional as well and personal relationships in the process. My primary interests are sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure, but I enjoy all genres and at the end of the day, we're all trying to do the same thing: Tell a good story.
If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out. Thanks.

Welcome!
Great to meet you, Jeff White. Welcome to the community. Yeah, being part of a writers' community is helpful. Your script sounds interesting from the title.
