Many years ago, I attended a screening of the movie “Working Girl” with Melanie Griffith. At the end of the movie, I watched the end credits. I saw the name of the screenwriter. I told my friends that someday, my name would be on the beginning credits of one of those movies. They snickered and humored me. Dream on, they said. And so I did.
I have been enamored with the idea of writing TV or movie scripts since my college days. Somedays,
I would think about how great it would be to stand on stage making an acceptance speech for writing Best Screenplay. The readers of these columns TVwriter and dozens of other blogs like L.A. Screenwriter, OnStory.TV etc. are all about learning the ins and outs of the entertainment business.
