Michel, this is no farce. I can't believe anyone here would think I am lying or doing some kind of joke. I came here for help, not games. The fact that you think this is a farce pisses me off.
I am very polite. When have I not been polite? Have I cursed or threatened anyone? You are the one who accused me of lying. If anything, you should be polite.
I am different from most writers. I take a lot of shame with people looking at my work when it is not completed yet. I don't feel comfortable and even safe doing it.
The best thing to do is probably for usaking to post a few pages of the script he’s working on here in this thread and have a moderator move the whole thread to the Work in Progress section.
The Work in Progress section is fine for posting a few pages of a script. I don’t see how in the world you could possibly find it to be rude to post a few pages of a script you say you need help on in the Work in Progress section. That’s exactly what the section is for.
I don’t know what you expect us to do to help you here in this thread. You say screenwriting is easy. You say your story is unlike any other in history, except one. You say you want to figure it out alone. You don’t want to show it to us. Yet you say you want help. I think you don’t know what you want.

I guess everyone's just a bit confused because you asked for help and now it seems like you really don't need it anymore.
Since the time I read your initial post i've thought that the best idea for anyone to help you with your problem is to show your work. But if you're not comfortable with that, I don't really know what help people around here can offer, because they have nothing to go on.
I want help, but I don't want to show my script before it is completed. I just want verbal help, not anything else at all.
I expected you guys to help me without me showing you all the script. I don't know what is so hard about that. Many people don't like their scripts to be shown before it is done, it is human nature. I am sure there is a way to help me without seeing my script.
Wow, I don't check E-Mail for a few minutes, and we've got 10 new posts!
Michel, that's funny, cause actually, patience is not 1 of my virtues...but I'm working on it.
USA, here's the deal, you've received a bunch of ideas from a bunch of different people already. Based on the fact that we know just about nothing about your script, or your writing style or expertise, there's nothing more anyone can do to help.
Does your E-Mail work? I couldn't get anything to the address you have listed (and that you gave me). Why are you using an E-Mail address that belongs to someone else?
Has anyone else attemtped to send him an E-Mail and see if it's a working E-Mail address?
Why can't you post 1, 2, or 3 pages of either this script or another one that you have written, so we can see what your writing looks like...and that way, can most likely offer you better advice, based on what we see? There's absolutely nothing wrong with posting a few pages...think of it as a teaser, or the like. No one is going to steal your ideas or anything like that.
You've got to be able to see that eveyone on this thread is here simply to help you. There's nothing else in it for us. If you want some help, you need to provide something that we can help with. If you can't, or won't, there's nothing more to say here.

If you don't want anyone to read your unfinished script then I don't see anyone can help you. It's hard to offer verbal help when we don't know what exactely the problem is. Unless you can find a way to describe what help you want and with what, without showing, then, end of discussion me thinks...oh I just noticed Jeff beat me to the punch lol.
Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.
I sometimes start to sweat while writing my script because it is so difficult and frustrating.
Just to be clear, I was referring to your words as above. I guess I misinterpreted it as literal. Sorry, and good luck, however you decide to go with it.

My script seems to be too short. What should I do?
