Where to begin…
I don’t have any idea where to start. If you don’t know me, well, I’ll begin with a general introduction. I’m Jason Dillon aka Jake to many. I am originally from Huntington, but I have travelled and lived a few other places. I enjoy intelligent conversation (debate), most outdoors activities, old cars, basketball, guns, motorcycles, low-brow art, short stories, sociology, and researching odd names. I hope to broaden my swriting skills through this class. If I could give you a best case scenario, I would eventually write screenplays or short film. I feel that this is a very hot media today and someone could make a living telling real world stories to people who are isolated, whether it is geographically or ideologically. With the state of affairs today, I feel people need that release that good films provide. I have been moved by many films in the past. A few of them are, in no particular order; Fight Club, Bladerunner, Crash, Adaptation, Happiness, Hedwig and The Angry Inch, Hero, What Dreams May Come, Full Metal Jacket, various documentaries, and anything on IMAX (if you have never been, GO!!) This is where I will start…I just decided.

Indeed a very good beginning for your dreams. If you want to be a writer – you must write (so much easier said than done!). Glad to see you posting here and there – I’m anticipating that you are going to acclimate well to writing online. You might want to (or you may already do this) read a variety of blogs. Here’s an interesting one to start with : http://www.ftrain.com/
