ok, well ever since i wrote my first short story at school in grade three i fell in love with writing, i loved everything...at first it was short stories, soon they became longer as i grew up, and i also began to really love poetry. evertime you'd see me i'd be sitting writing words on torn scraps of paper, typing poems or stories onto the computer or writing in one of my many writing books. but not until now did i ever think something like this would happen to me. first let me explain, last year my youth was doing a big drama and they asked me to write a script for it. that is when i fell in love with screenwriting for plays/movies. it was love at first sight. anyways, my dad works in the movie industry around here and he is now working on this one movie, and one of his co-workers husband is a really cool, famous screenwriter, anyway...I had written my dad a poem for fathers day last year and my dad is like really proud of it or something cuz he shows it to EVERYONE. anyway, he showed this screenwriter this poem and the guy told my dad that it was amazing for the age i wrote it at. and my dad told him how i was always writing and my English marks were always above average when it came to writing, so this guy, famous screenwriter told my dad to get me to make up a portfolio and get it too him so that he could see what i can do, but also that he was more than willing to work with me on creative writing and putting things in screenplays and to teach me the sorta things the movie industry is looking for. he said he'd like to work with me/coach me for the next few years...I mean, this is amazing...I'm 14 and I could have a high-paying job by the time I'm 16...writing scripts for movies! I just about fainted when this was told to me last night...it was so crazy...and it's still sinking in!!! weeeeeee!!!
