Introduce Yourself to the Group

[shira marin]

Hello Everyone. My name is Shira Marin.
I’ve written 1 screenplay and, though I’m halfway through my first revision, I decided to jump into this class to see if I can up-level again from what I’ve already done.
I’d like to write a really excellent revision that could be ready for a table read.
I wrote this screenplay because a dream I had clearly directed me to do so. I started out in the Writing Incredible Movies course, and just as I was turning up the heat on my writing, my heart started failing. I noticed this pretty quickly, had major surgery, and wasn’t able to finish my course! (Cheryl and Hal, I didn’t just flake out on you! LOL). The screenplay is now complete; I began revising it, and then, I learned of the Rewrite …. class and thought it would deepen my process. Oddly, I see a true path forward. With each step, a little fog lifts, which allows me to keep on keepin' on, like the tortoise––slow and steady as she goes😉. I look forward to hearing about and reading everyone’s work, to creating a mutually supportive community, and to honing my skills and understanding in the process.

I have a beagle, who is 14. He likes parties too. Did they post the first class yet?

Hi My name is Octavia Pugh. I have written 5 scripts. They are all shorts. Currently I am working on a feature comedy/drama script and want to learn how to punch it up to make it marketable hence the reason for taking this class.

I am ready to learn and elevate my writing.
