(Insert funny smart-ass title here without appearing like humour is a self-defense mechanism)

Hi there! I find you all so inspiring with your projects, your ideas, and how you promote yourselves. Many of you have so many accomplishments to show for, books written, awards... I've held back from introducing myself since the first (of many) email(s) I received from Stage 32 about this lounge and I guess, now that I have written a few scripts and started to learn about screenwriting for real, I feel a bit less intimated to try and create a network. I consider myself a permanent student in this ever-evolving world and would be thrilled to connect with y'all. I live in Canada (near Montreal) and am looking forward to our future interconnections.

Welcome. Nice to meet you!

Martin Blais

Thanks Jeffrey! Nice meeting you also!

Maurice Vaughan

Glad you decided to introduce yourself, Martin Blais. Did you get the chance to check out the Screenwriting Lounge (www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting)? It has some great screenwriting resources and advice.

Sam Sokolow

Hi Martin Blais - it's great to meet you here during IYW. I'm the director of education here at Stage 32. If I can ever be of any service on your Stage 32 education journey or if you need any recommendations of courses to take please email me at edu@stage32.com. Have a great and creative weekend!

Jelica Zdravković

Do not worry, I think that I have the least experience here. Nobody from my family does not even know I am writing, but somehow this all community makes me feel welcome, I hope you will have the same felling soon!

Martin Blais

Thank you all for your kind welcome! I have looked at the lounge a few times but never interacted yet… I’ll try and do it regularly from now on.

@Jelica Zdravkovic you're not alone in your experience too. We have similar experiences and yes, we feel welcomed here. Let's learn and explore.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Martin Blais. Sounds great. Being active in the Screenwriting Lounge (and the other Lounges -- www.stage32.com/lounge) will definitely help you grow your network and find opportunities.

Welcome Martin ! Bienvenue - there's a lot of very cool people to work with and learn from here.

I had the same feeling. I bit the bullet a few months ago and it was great to meet others. Glad to see you here :)

Martin Blais

Thanks so much everyone!

Amanda Toney
