Screenwriting : Book manuscript by David Donahue

I sent off my manuscript to a publisher but unfortunately had to put up some money to get it into print but I feel it was worth it. The process of writing it was overwhelming but the editing was the toughest. I know the topic is somewhat depressing however on a lighter note it is something that I felt at this time in my life was necessary to do. I have lost a few friends in the past few years to alcohol, cancer and then my own mortality was in the balance. The ironic thing is now I am probably physically healthier than I have been in years, my time working as an electrician and a Marine probably helped and the fact Im Irish and stubborn didnt hurt either. I would like to consider myself as a cochroach but it hasnt been easy. My days of surfing were definitly a benefit as you can see in my dated pic of me surfing in the mid eighties..my weak side was women and it bit me in the end. However I am glad to share my story and who knows maybe someone will be interested in it...I appreciate all the feedback and connects Ive gotten here and I can see there are some talented individuals in the mix. Glad to be here.
