Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia... Quite an irony considering it means the fear of long words! No, I don't have that particular phobia, but truth be told, I also hate "big" words. But as a Screenwriter, there's a particular audience you're trying to connect to... they want you to come to the point; I believe I can keep it short and sweet! I'm quite young, and there's just so much left to learn and explore! But when you're really, really passionate about something. ( Yes, I did repeat the same phrase twice... Epizeumixis?) You won't stop until you get it. They say that the screenwriter's secret weapon is patience. I hope I have enough. Go to bio
