Type of Writing You're Interested In (choose all that apply!): Fiction, Mystery, Sci Fi, Other

About Me:: I write because I have to, the voices tell me what to write and I write it. ( Its so much easier than having to make it up myself.) That having been said, I am also an Industrial Engineer. I have a rather unusual approach to my career as a writer that does not follow convention and have worked very hard to be very happy with being an odd ball.

I own and run two companies and am a black belt. I have a rather odd sense of humor but am mostly harmless with it.

I am a screenplay writer for the film industry and write in the drama/mystery/martial arts/ horror generas. Think, Highlander mets the Last Samurai in China. My Horror elements work along the same line as Brotherhood of the Wolves... If you like Christoph Gans or Ang Lee, then you'll enjoy my work. My idol is Akira Kurosawa. I aspire to have a series of movies and shows as amazing as Gregory Widen.

Abraham-Hicks and The Secret are my two most recommended CDs. Dr. Sally Witt is the single most amazing life coach I have ever had. She has helped me beyond measures to become confident in myself as a person and writer. She is also an amazing networker for my career. As a screenplay writer, outside of writing, networking is my life.

A great writer can come from anywhere, but great writing always come from the heart.

I do have credits. I worked on "Nora's Choice" by Abell productions. I'm not sure where it can be found bu I really enjoyed working on it.

ADHD is my life story, so I totally get the multi distracted thing!

I really dig your movie & director inspirations. At the risk of jinxing anything you have in progress, do you have any credits I can go rent?

At 9:08pm on May 7th, 2008, Christopher Vera said…: Margaret, I saw your post on being a writer and was interested in your experience with screenplays. I've finished a first draft of my own (with a whole lotta work to go for sure) but I am starting to consider the idea of marketing it. Its a sci-fi action flick. I realize I will need an agent (or a lawyer) to help me sell it, and would truly appreciate some of your advice and recommendations. Thanks!
