Well, it's been a whirlwind for me ever since Day One of this New Year. I am, of course, still working on my screenplay diligently and am about halfway through with it, but balancing client projects and recent events has definitely had me busy.
On Monday 1/16/2023, Martin Luther King Day, I was featured in the New York Times, and since have had a few other network producers and reporters reach out to me for more information regarding the topic that I discussed. This could never have been predicted by me, and the experience could shape into another screenplay being written from my own experience pertinent to this wild tale.
Nevertheless, I wanted to drop in to say hello and introduce myself while touching base with everyone to wish the platform a Happy 2023!
My name is Sai Marie, and I'm a screenplay writer and author who enjoys metal music, camping, and creating immersive and illustrious worlds. I love connecting with others and welcome you to take a look at my profile to learn more about me, or if you want you're welcome to visit Amazon and check out my works under my pen name, Sai Marie Johnson, or head over to my profile here to read over my loglines and see a book trailer from one of my works!

Thank you Christopher Thomas, I hope so. I lost a friend from an unexpected brain aneurysm the first and then this story with Susan Meachen exploded the third. It's been a whirlwind, like I said - a change in the wind is welcome because I am not too impressed with the start to this year and the subject matter in the NY Times article is harrowing and upsetting, naturally.

Greg Lyon for some of us giving up is simply not an option. I've been well past that stage for a long time, but thank you for the pep talk. :)

Thank you, Maurice Vaughan for both the congrats and the condolences. Yes, I am also talking to someone from Good Morning America and a production company regarding a possible docu-series relevant to that NY Times article. Wasn't expected but seems to be generating a lot of attention. Like all stories, I am just tuned in here to see where it leads.
You're welcome, Sai Marie (Sarah) Johnson. Good Morning America and a possible docu-series!? That's great! Congratulations on the attention and interest! I'm excited for you, and I'm looking forward to seeing where all of this goes.

Thanks again Maurice Vaughan ; it's a whirlwind presently and not at all where I foresaw life going this quickly into 2023 but it's made things interesting and I am also curious about what will come next. Though, my objective focus is mostly on my screenplay, I am open to any creative opportunity to move forward in life from here as well.

For clarification, I am not the journalist who wrote this article. I am featured as quoted from my interview with the reporter, but thank you for the support. :)
