Quoted from michel End of discussion. Amen...

Very fitting words here. Should have realized this way sooner I guess.

Jeff, the email I am using belongs to my ex, who moved away. And yes, it is a working email. Why would I waste time posting a fake email? I have would have no motive in doing it.

As for help, I might as well just do it completely alone. I can't and won't let anyone see my script before it is done. There are tons of reasons why, but I don't want to get into detail about it. I am not going to bother posting a script on the site because I really don't feel like arguing about what is wrong and what is right anymore. All I care about is completing my script. I don't care about the world, friends, or anything at the moment. As long as my script is not finished, I will never be happy.

But just you wait. I will show all of you. In a few days my script will be completed and I will post it on the site. I will do it all on my own. Nothing is going to stop me and no one is going to stand in my way.

OooooooooooK then...

Let no man (or woman) stand in usaking's way of completing his mission.

We all will await the completion of the script.

Good luck with it!

Do you really think people here will feel like reading your script with those kinds of "kind words". No way from me mate!

I don't know what else I can add to this thread but, in case usaking reads this, I want to strongly recommend he post some of his work to the board and, more importantly, he listen to the criticisms his work will invariably receive.

I started writing about five years ago, and I spent the first four years working entirely on my own. A little over a year ago, I finally took the plunge and posted on this board. Dreamscale was one of the first people to take a look at one of my scripts and he was very upfront with his thoughts.

The good news? I used the right font and margins. The bad news? My characters were too verbose. The action prose was too long-winded. I constantly used the passive voice. The action scenes were not exciting. In short, everything about my script was wrong, wrong, wrong.

Did his criticism hurt? Of course it did! Nobody wants to be told something they've slaved over isn't up to snuff. Still, after reflecting on his thoughts for a day or two, I realized he was right. I still have a long way to go, but I think my writing has drastically improved thanks to Dreamscale's criticisms.

Look, we're all in this together. No one on this board is here to mock or belittle the others. Everyone here gives feedback and, yes, criticism because we're all trying to get the best out of one another.

Good luck with your script, usaking.

Fair enough, then.  No reason to flog this any further.
