Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, you're listening to Ratchet and Respectable with

Dmitria El Lucas.

Oh my gosh, how are you?

We haven't chatted in a while.

I've been very busy lately.

I told you I was going back to school, yeah?

It's not formal school.

I'm not back in college, but I've signed up for my first round of screenwriting classes.

I told you I was serious like when I moved out here, I wanted to turn all my book projects

into TV shows or films.

But then since I've been out here, I've come up with some other ideas that I want to develop.

Reading wise for like books or journalism or essays, I can write anything.

Like that comes very easily to me.

But this whole screenwriting thing, storytelling.

I get the overall gist, but it's slightly different than writing a memoir or essays or articles

or blog posts even because I do all four of those pretty easily.

It's so fascinating, I really love it.

I was sitting in my first class, maybe like an hour in, once our instructor got into

like the meat of what this class was.

And we started like throwing out our ideas and workshopping like we dove right in.
