Had someone told me forty years ago I'd be a screenwriter, I would have laughed. Having just retired from the Army, I had but a few writing credits, (Army Times, Stars and Stripes, Ultraflight magazine et al)
and didn't even know yet that I'd be a writer of any ilk. A few sappy poems and a couple of short stories constituted my entire portfolio.
When attending college (of COURSE on the GI bill) I needed a couple of credits that were filled by a creative writing course. I was hooked! Since then, I have written a couple of hundred short stories, a novel, more sappy poetry, and eventually started writing screenplays. It's been a humbling experience. It is an intense learning process.
On a more personal note, I have been married about a year longer than I've been retired. I hold a private pilot certificate, with IFR capabilities, multi-engine Land and Sea, and actually have completed the Commercial ticket training, just never took the test ride. I also am a Chinese Linguist. (Mandarin and Taiwanese) I'm a complete baseball nut as well.
I intend to become the poster boy for "You're never too old."
