Hi there, denizens of Less Wrong! I’ve actually been lurking around here for a while (browsing furtively since 2010), and only just discovered that I hadn’t introduced myself properly.
So! I’m Bluehawk, and I’ll tell you my real name if and when it becomes relevant. I’m mid-20′s, male, Australian, with an educational history in Music, Cinema Studies and Philosophy, and I’m looking for any jobs and experience that I can get with the craft of writing. My current projects are a pair of feature-length screenplays; one’s in the editing/second draft stages, the other’s coming up to the end of the first draft. When I have the experience to pull it off (gimme another year or two), I’m hoping to develop a few projects that are more focussed on rationality. The backup plan for my future is to take on a Masters and beyond in screenwriting and/or film, either at RMIT or overseas (NY, LA, France?) depending on where my folio can get me.
That said, my scientific literacy is way lower than it “should” be, and I’m tempted to spend a few years working on that instead, but I’m not sure how much would be practical for my life; I normally find that I can ask (some of) the right questions about a list of stats, and I can generally understand human psychology when the concepts are put in front of me, and that seems to have been enough to get me by so far; I just feel really, really out of my league whenever I run into predicate logic, advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry, or programming languages.
I also aspire to aspire to become fluent in French and Japanese.
