I’ve always been an avid reader and changed from writing prose to screenplays when I moved to L.A.  It took me about seven years before the screenwriting classes, lectures, and books all blended in my brain to produce a really great screenplay.  I continue to learn and practice the craft everyday. I take this moment to apologize to those of you who were kind enough to read my first screenplays and assure you all I have been similarly tortured by other beginning writers. 🙂
Sometimes, I’m not sure where I am or where I’m going but I know that right now, my heart’s in Minnesota, my body in Los Angeles, and my mind in New York City.  My home could be anywhere, I could be anyone, but right now I’m here and I like who I am.  But ask me tomorrow.
