Hello gang! I'm happy to join Stage 32. I penned novels for years until a very kind entertainment lawyer (they do exist,) who read all my books, reached out and encouraged me to adapt them into screenplays. Several years ago I took the plunge. The adapting/writing is a blast. Two of my screenplays are currently optioned but don't yet have permanent homes. Another book I ghost-wrote was recently optioned, and I'm helping the director adapt for a series. Anyway, I'm happy to be here. I hope to make friends and key contacts. If I can help you in any way, please just ask. Thank you - Chuck

Thank you for your service, Chuck Driskell. My dad was in the Army, which is why Army is one of my college football teams. Air Force and Navy are my college football teams too. And Alabama and Oregon. Haha
Cool that you've been to ECU. I took my SAT test there. Did you know Sandra Bullock went to ECU?

Yeah, Sandra Bullock came back and did a speech, Chuck Driskell. I think it was a few years ago. She's a talented actress. She can do funny movies and serious movies (like "The Unforgivable").

Hey, Chuck! I'd love to hear more about your novels. What genre(s) of books have you written? Are you working on anything new in the book space, or focusing more on screenwriting currently?
