I think this Baltis guy (I *think* I remember him, but I'm not sure. I think I signed up just when he was banned) does have a point. While I agree with Breanne that harshness and honesty are two completely different things , I think new writers -- screenwriters, specifically -- actually need to get used to a little bit of harshness. Just look at how the movie business is. It basically eats people alive and no one is there to hold your hand. I have a friend over here. She's a great writer, but whenever she gets even the slightest bit of criticism on her work, she basically curls up into a ball and cries. Do you think someone with that kind of personality would ever make it in the business? Now, I'm not saying you should use such language as "holy crap, your screenplay sucked ass!" because that could really demoralize a person. But I do think a bit of toughening up is really important for a screenwriter. I usually give pretty honest reviews and I really appreciate when somebody does the same for me. If I enjoy a script, I'll say it. If I do not enjoy it, I'll say it too. But I usually refrain from using harsh language or directly insulting the writer. That is something else entirely. The thing is, not everybody is as emotionally strong as you would want, so you do need to be careful with the choice of words you use for your reviews. I'm not saying you should sugarcoat it, but there are ways of being completely honest without being offensive. That's all I gotta say. --Julio

Hey all! Thanks for the welcome back, it's good to be allowed back on again; that's for sure. I absolutley have new scripts to post and am simply waiting it out until we are allowed to post them up again.
So, yeah... keeping with theme, if my work isn't up to par make sure you let me know about it. I don't care if you come at me with fangs and claws out, either.

And to think, I only have to brush his hair and tell him he's pretty every now and then. Luckily, I have someone else on retainer to do that.

I avoid all modern Vampire stories like the plague which, by the way, was carried by Anne Rice.

That'd be Renfield?

Of course not. He's off eating flies.

Are you referring to Blood of the Vampire, or my particular taste in things?
