My Other Career

First off, my name is Steve. And yes, I am, along with a bajillion other people out there, an aspiring screenwriter. I thought it might be neat for some people to see how the screenwriting process, or at least my screenwriting process, takes place.

The idea of the site is to “live blog” the screenwriting process. The idea came to me when my car broke down somewhere on the Florida Turnpike on a trip back from Orlando. I was stuck at some mall in BFE waiting for my buddy to drive two hours to come get me and I needed something to read to pass the time. So I walked into a bookstore and picked up the book “The Screenwriters Workshop” by Syd Field, the defacto Hollywood expert on screenwriting.

Having already written a few screenplays, I thought live blogging the exercises in his book would lend themselves well as far as a content mechanism for a blog goes. So thats, in a nut shell, what this blog is about.

Now a bit more about me…

I’m originally from the metro Detroit area, but now I live outside Atlanta, GA. I grew up in Michigan for the first 17 years of my life. I loved it and will always consider it my home. I lived for about 18 months in the Charleston, SC area. I hated it, but it didn’t like me much either. Then I did a two year stint at Savannah College of Art and Design (Go BEES!) studying Video Production. Then I spent several years in Orlando, FL at the University of Central Florida (Go KNIGHTS!) and finished with my BA in English. Then I moved to Altanta. Whew.

If you stop by leave a comment and let me know you were here.

And I’m always looking for other aspiring writers to partake in the blogging experience. If your interested, let me know.
