David - well ive been screenwriting for a little longer than a year now. Ive basically been researching the industry, making some contacts and honing my writing.
I have some ideas filed away and am working on a one of my own features at the moment. My progress was a little slow at first because i put down a few scripts i was working on before to start my current one, but ill come back to those later.
Getting to the stage of beginning the actual writing so hopefully have it finished this year
Just hook up to as many decent newsletters and forums you can like this one you might learn something. You can always unsubscribe to the worse ones later
