I am a published author of learning material. I love to write and have done a few stories in the horror genre; none published. Currently, I am working on a science fiction story . My experience with writing scripts is limited, but I have written several for our church and they have been well received. Moreover, with regard that the following statement won't be held against me, I've been taking acting classes at St. Louis Community College. I have been a teacher for over 40 years and continue to work in this area. I'm fun, easy to get along with, have an active, creative mind. By your own words you have admitted to being beginners, I'm a beginner. I have resources. Let's work together. If you are really interested in my resume, I can send it later.
