• Each and every year begins and ends.
• Companies have year end dates for tax purposes and such.
• Movies have awards seasons.
• What do screenwriters do?

Years ago, I aimed to change all that…

As a screenwriter, I wanted a day to collect my work and reflect on my evolution as a writer.

That day is September 1st. It began a few years back when I collected all of the short screenplays I wrote into a book I called: After Then & Before Now.

Fun Fact: That was the original title of this very blog.

It kick started a trend I’ve continued ever since.

Why shouldn’t a screenwriter have a year end?

A day to make writing resolutions?  To look back on the year you’ve had and set goals for what you plan to accomplish in the future?

It’s a valuable part of my screenwriting calendar.

Each and every year, I reflect on the work I’ve accomplished and look ahead.

It’s an exciting time because it means the end of an era as I continue to evolve as a writer.
