It was the day that I decided I wanted to have a serious career in film, it was the day I fully comitted to wanting to learn everything I could about screenwriting... It was the day I started my first script age 19 determined to start something, anything before my 20th birthday which was only a few days away. I couldn't tell you exactly what I was doing or how I was feeling when I got the idea of "Hi again" but it most likely due to one of my many daydreams that sparked the idea. I researched articles on how to start sceenwrtitng and the basics. Most told me that the best way to learn, was to just start writing. So I did just that, I downloaded a screenwriting software that seemed easy enough to begin with and was FREE. Which is a word me and many students alike, love to hear. And I began to write...
And as I began to write I started to feel a strange feeling, it was as if I had butterflies in my stomach but I wasn't nervous... I was excited, It was as if nothing else matterd in that moment. Looking back on that memory I remember a quote from a artist who recently retired. He said when he began his career everyday going out on that stage he would feel excited not nervous. And would get he would get that feeling and he knew that that is what he should be doing it just felt right. And so when this artist lost that feeling, when he would go out on that stage he would'nt feel anything anymore, That is when he knew that his career was no more, he had lost the feeling of beloging or anticipation. In comparisent that evening when I decided to open up my laptop and my mind that's when I knew that screenwriting was what I was supposed to be doing. It just felt right.
Now before this I used to for many years from the age of 15, 16 now and again write full length dialouge sceenplays based on books. That didn't just include dialouge it included EVERYTHING and when I say "everything"I mean marketing ideas, productions ideas, camera postions, lighting, locations, you name it. This would go into my notes app on my phone.
I hope my blog helps to encourage young filmakers/creatives to finding resourcers to achieve their dreams. This blog will be a documentation of my journey as a up and coming filmaker/screenwriter.
This blog is for everyone and anyone who loves films and all things creative. I will be posting daily posts on my favourite tv shows/films to watch, my favourite books, best screenwriting software to use as a begginer, the future of film. And lots more! I will also be asking people to email in any ideas for future posts. Lets have a healthy discussion, I hope to develop a safe space for fellow cinephiles and movie lovers from all walks of life to feel free to share their ideas and opinions on key topics. Feel free to contact me via email (confessionsofacinephile19@gmail.com) to discuss/share your thoughts and ideas :-)
Reading this “The Day That Changed My Life Forever…” post really stirred something in me it took me back to when I was first trying to pull together my dissertation. I had this spark of an idea, a vision of what I wanted to say, but my drafts felt rough: arguments disconnected, paragraphs that didn’t flow, sentences that didn’t quite capture what I felt. Somewhere in that chaos, I discovered what using cheap dissertation editing service support meant not losing my voice, but helping my words match my vision, so that the story I meant to tell could finally be seen clearly on the page.
Your story about life-changing moments struck me, I had a similar feeling when crafting a book for my child. I relied on a custom kids book writing service with Whitewolf Publishers, which transformed simple ideas into something meaningful, almost like curating memories into pages that truly last.
What a moving story I really enjoyed how you captured the shift in perspective and how one moment can change everything. Some time ago I had an online exam that dealt with similar themes of transformation and personal growth, and during that period I came across a manuscript editing service because I needed help refining my own narrative reflections. This post reminds me how thoughtful editing and clarity can deepen the impact of telling our own stories.
It's incredible how a single day can change everything. For me, that day was when my research paper was finally published. I used a Medical Journal Publication Service from Journal Publishing Service, and their support was the crucial step that made it a reality.
Reading “The Day That Changed My Life Forever…” brought me back to the moment I sketched out my very first website design idea, late into a night full of doubts and half-finished ideas, pieces scattered across notebooks. In that haze I imagined how something like Ranked Design could shape raw creativity into something coherent not by changing the heart of the idea, but by helping me see its structure emerge more clearly in the dim light of uncertainty.
