Tonight I graduated from the one-year UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting. I wish I had a better picture but it was dusk and the flash didn't go off. This is me with Hal Ackerman, the program co-chair, getting my certificate. I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures with Hal and the workshops. I wrote one script in a workshop with Linda Voorhees and another one with Wendall Thomas. I was thrilled to have these talented women as my teachers and mentors in the program.
Both of my scripts need a rewrite but I learned so much by just pushing through and completing a draft. Also, by the end of the program I stopped feeling like I was going to throw up when people read my pages. An achievement in itself! I met some incredible people and feel so lucky to have had this experience. Now, as Linda says: "Write on!"
