I was inspired to create this PreHandwriting Book first from my experiences as a kindergarten teacher. My love for the students and the birth of my son, Robert, has inspired me to offer the skills that I have learned from teaching and observing the growth of Robert. Robert has delayed speech; and after ongoing tests, all results have returned normal. Robert is an intelligent boy. He enjoys memorizing and recognizes numbers and letters at the age of two. He always has a book at hand to look at and study. Thanks to speech therapy he is making great progress. Through my observations of Robert's desire to read and write at such a young age, it has inspired me to create a book of handwriting movements for children from the ages two and up. The skilled hand movements can also be utilized for children with developmental disabilities. The book includes skilled hand movements, recognizing numbers, and tracing letters and numbers among other fun activities. Parents are encouraged to partake in this handwriting book with their children. This book can be translated in several languages, including French and Spanish.

Prewriting Your Screenplay cements all the bricks of a story’s foundations together and forms a single, organic story-growing technique, starting with a blank slate. It shows writers how to design each element so that they perfectly interlock together like pieces of a puzzle, creating a stronger story foundation that does not leave gaps and holes for readers to find. This construction process is performed one piece at a time, one character at a time, building and incorporating each element into the whole. The book provides a clear-cut set of lessons that teaches how to construct that story base around concepts as individual as the writer’s personal opinions, helping to foster an individual writer’s voice. It also features end-of-chapter exercises that offer step-by-step guidance in applying each lesson, providing screenwriters with a concrete approach to building a strong foundation for a screenplay. This is the quintessential book for all writers taking their first steps towards developing a screenplay from nothing, getting them over that first monumental hump, resulting in a well-formulated story concept that is cohesive and professional.
