Greetings from Sweaty Tampa Florida!
Hi everyone,
Firstly what I can't understand is why I didn't join up here years ago! Maybe it wasn't the right time. Who knows. I am English and have lived in Florida for nearly 25 years. Anyway, I'm lucky enough to be a freelance writer and write mostly for the internet. Over the past few years I have written three screenplays and a novel with an attached screenplay. The first two were blah but good practice, and now I am trying to focus on the third. But I have a problem with the screenplay, and that's why I'm here looking for help. My favorite movies are nothing like what I write: Dr, Strangelove, Oh Brother Where art Thou? Cone Heads, Wayne's World, Yellow Submarine, American Pie, and anything with Johnny Depp! I love both Beatles movies too - I grew up in Liverpool. Waking Ned Devine, anything Monty Python, Barbed Wire Fence. The movie I watch the most is probably Pulp Fiction. That's enough. You probably think I'm screwy already! Last edited by karenelizabeth; 13th April 2012 at 13:05. Reason: added info

Re: Greetings from Sweaty Tampa Florida!
Hi karenelizabeth!
Boy do we have a lot in common: I'm new here and also an English expat. Migrated here about 20 years ago. Moved away from Florida to IL last year. I love Dr. Strangelove. And my middle name is Elizabeth! I'd love to get to know more about you and your work.

| Screenwriting Goldmine Method |
The "Screenwriting Goldmine Guide to Writing a Screenplay" is a simple to use, utterly comprehensive, step by step method for going from the horrors of a blank page all the way through to a highly readable - and very commercial - first draft. It's based on my seventeen years as a professional screenwriter/script editor, and it's a direct transcription of the method I use to write my own screenplays. Simply put, it works! (Over 2,000 copies sold to date!) Everyday low price- find out more here.
