A Writer's First Tale

Yes, for the record it requires lots of coffee.
After Moe's Monday I picked up a first copy printing of the script I've been working on. (No I'm not going to tell you what it's about.) Mind you this is just the first episode so you can tell I've been busy. It amazes me how much I actually get done now that I'm not beating my forehead against four padded cubicle walls daily.
It's been a learning experience. I knew nothing about screenwriting prior to starting other than the scripts I've used as an actor. Being on this side of things has been interesting. I honestly think I enjoy writing more than I do performance. Okay... I think I still enjoy both, but discovering the writer in me has been a unique, almost scary experience. Like anything though I had to learn the syntax, and get the tools to make it happen.
It was sort of fun to unbox the thing today. We're doing some last few editing and continuity issues with the second episode I wrote, but hope to start submitting is with query letters next week...
To be honest I couldn't care if I get a response. It's been fun, a challenge, and it's something I think I'll continue to do in the future. Writing, as I've learned even on this blog is a seriously personal thing... something that more people should do, so they can see themselves for who they are.
