First, I'd like to thank all the professionals on this site who responds to various questions & topics, even (especially) when they get a little heated....I appreciate your time & I've enjoyed reading the quality of your answers...some of you write so perfectly (to me) it's a pleasure to read your posts...There are times I've laughed myself to tears.....I know some of you (somewhat) just by reading Indietalk for 2 years, often reading IT several times a day including older posts.
Who am I?...I'm a tax accountant, CPA (40+years), father of 4 children, Vietnam-era veteran (my draft lottery number was 3), a 4 year 2nd class Navy corpsman with the U.S. Marines, stayed on the east coast & did not go to Vietnam, afterwards received an accounting degree at Univ of Alabama, and now a slowly retiring accountant with a short bucket list.
I've been writing a story (off and on) for more than 5 years, some of which is from true life events I've witnessed...(I know...everyone has a story)...I've done extensive research on various forms of writing (screenplays, novels, etc), but that's not for me.....I'm not going to try and hammer a square peg in a round hole.....like some of you, most of my life (in years) is behind me, and I don't have time to learn a new trade....but I do want to write my story as far as I can go.
I do have 24 pages of loglines (even though I just need one), and I've written a 2 page synopsis of my story....plus I applied for and received a Certificate of Registration from the U.S. Copyright office.....but I have much more to do to finish... then afterwards I'll pass it on to whoever it's destined to go....believe in destiny?
Thanks for reading my long introduction....I know I may have contradicted myself at times and I write using my own style which may not be grammatically correct.......I'm glad Alcove made it back, but I do miss Sweetie's posts....Thanks again for reading!
