Howdy!
Just wanted to say hi. I'm new to the website and really enjoying the community so far. I'm a screenwriter turned novelist. Yes, I actually decided to make my writing career even more difficult. Anyway, thanks for having such a great place to learn.

Screenwriting was a passion of mine for a while. Sadly, dialog is one of my weaker areas now.

I'll be excited to see your stuff!
