Windsor, CO
I took a class in screenwriting -- thought it would help my novel writing. Loved screenwriting so much! that now I'm trying my hand at it. Currently focusing on of feature length comedies, over 50's protagonists. Have completed 2 screenplays, working on a third. My first screenplay was a quarterfinalist in the Blue Cat competition.
