Introduce yourself! | Go Into The Story

It?s the beginning of the month and occasionally I like to use that as an excuse to open up the floor to allow folks to introduce themselves. It seemed like an especially good idea today because we had a surge in traffic in January, so I?m guessing there are quite a few new friends of the site.

So why not tell us a bit about yourself. What is your background? Where do you live? What?s your interest in writing?

And while we?re at it:

* If you?ve made a short or feature length film and you?d like to promote it, please leave details and a URL where I can embed it [or a trailer], and I?ll be happy to include in our Movies You Made series. If you submitted info on a film and I neglected to post it, go ahead and post the info here, and I?ll make it right this time.

* If you have a blog or website dedicated to writing, screenwriting, TV writing, and/or movies, and you?d like me to add you to my Friends blogroll, happy to do it, just leave your info in comments.

* If you have a question about the business or craft of screenwriting, I try to answer queries every month or so. Post your question or if you?d prefer to remain anonymous, go ahead and email me.

* Speaking of email, if you have contacted me in the past and I didn?t get back to you, first off I apologize. Every Friday I try my best to go back through emails to respond to questions and requests, but I?ve been ultra busy the last month, so please feel free to get in touch with me again.

Finally I do this thing every so often when the mood strikes me: I dish out some creative juju. I don?t how this started, but I swear when I do it, I get emails and tweets from people telling me it was just what they needed, or they were stuck on a story problem, but then it magically solved itself. Heck, one writer told me after I sent him some creative juju his mother?s house, which had been on the market for two years, sold the very next day. I don?t know what that has to do with creativity, but good to know it works on sticky real estate transactions, too.

So without further ado, here is a mondo-blast of creative juju, guaranteed to put a smile on your face, fingers on your keyboard, and your words flowing with the ease and power of the mighty ocean.

As usual, thanks for supporting this humble blog. While you?re at it, you can sign in using Google Friends Connect up there on the right-hand column [which we will be migrating to Google+ in the near future].

Remember one of my favorite writing mantras: ?The only way out is through.?
