[Marykay Mentzer]

Hi everyone ~ my name is Marykay and I'm really excited about this class! I have written exactly zero scripts, but lots of prose, short stories, and poems. I used to write a lot, but haven't written in recent years and I look forward to getting back to it.

In this class, I hope to rediscover my love of writing. Ideally I would love to transform a short story I wrote years ago into a screenplay. It's one of those stories that really stuck with me and my heart says it's neither finished nor in its final format.

The instructions suggested I share something unique, special, or strange about me and I had to chuckle a bit because I think there's a lot unique, special, and strange about me. Picking just one thing to start, I have a herd of rescue and adopted alpacas on an urban alpaca sanctuary just outside Atlanta. Mind you, as much as I love animals, I didn't actually set out to have a herd of rescue and adopted alpacas, so let's just say it all started with my son, his request we get chickens, and the story unfolds from there. It was a serendipitous progression and I have no regrets.

I look forward to meeting everyone!
