Notes From The World

One of the best things about maintaining an online presence is hearing from people from different parts of the world who are passionate about writing.

Here's an example of a wonderful note I received from a writer living in Namibia. It's a terrific reminder that there are opportunities for writers everywhere, not just in Hollywood, and we should never take the resources available to us for granted.

I am from Africa and had a passion for writing ever since I was 12 but in this life that’s not the only thing you need to prosper. I write movies or would love to write a movie though I don’t even know how a real movie script looks like. I do however have a few roughly written movies. I wish one day God would answer my prayers and make me the best movie script writer/actress. However I just wanted to let you know that what you are doing is great, helping others like me so thanks.

NOTE: For people in a similar situation to Jennifer, I recommend checking out sites like the Internet Movie Script Database (www.IMSDB.com) that regularly post samples of produced screenplays.
