Screenwriting

 

I haven't updated in years. Life becomes a superhighway at times. I've had a huge change in my career path and opportunities at screenwriting that soon will become evident why I took this path.

Although at this moment, I can't give details on the projects, as soon as I am able to, you will know all about them. These are films going to theaters everywhere. 

Oddly, as a child, I proudly told my parents I would act in a movie and write a movie when I grow up. I would publish books. I would be in the Miss USA pageant, I would do public speaking. 

Well, knocked those out of the park. 

I took six years of acting, was put into English major studies from 7th grade to 12th, majored in communications and minored in English in college where I studied scripts and literature to film to become a film critic.

Life got in the way with a practical job and raising a son and marriage. I put these things away, but did write many romance manuscripts and developed a great relationship with a major publisher, trying to get published.

It wasn't until I left a 26-year marriage that I suddenly began to publish in earnest. I've published two dozen books since 2010.

But, it was joining a film production group that led me to writing scripts and I realized that all along when I write a book, I see a film in my head. This was second nature for me and screenwriting was my calling from a very young age.

I am working with two production companies here in Arizona, Saguaro Films and State 48 Films, but also a high-tech film-related company that I've been training on, while working as one of the writers, and will even be acting in. Soon, this will become apparent publicly.

I have two more screenplays lined up to film after that and ultimately the goal is 4 films in 2025.

Kids are very intuitive. I think the child inside me signed me up for acting and modeling, pageants, writing contests, publishing company agreements, and now this. 

She is very happy. And when mom and dad said, "honey, only one in a million make it in the industry," instead of thinking, "mom and dad didn't think I'm one in a million," I realize by their support of my interests that they were saying, "buckle up, buttercup. This won't be easy." It was a crooked path, lots of disappoints, but only the ones that go through it with determination make it. 

Never stop dreaming and doing. You don't know how it happens or even when, but you plant a seed and something grows!
