I guess I'd have to thank everyone who's reviewed my stuff at one point or another. All the feedback, some good, some bad, served a common purpose: to make a better writer out of me. I take a look back at the first draft of the very first feature I wrote and all I can do is chuckle. You guys are all great, IMO!
However, I give major props to Shawn (Ledbetter), for taking the time to read that same feature and giving me invaluable advice going forward with it.
But seriously, anyone who's ever reviewed a script here deserves a shout out.
I can't recall everyone that leant me a helping hand, but I do remember Jeff lending his support with plenty of my projects, small things such as slug-following-descriptions and off-the-nose dialogue to make it more natural.
Other than that though, guess I've learned from plenty of users here through reading their material and listening to advice whenever I post one of my own.
When I joined this site I didn't know a lick about what it took to write a screenplay. Passive writing, OTN dialogue, huge blocks of action lines and proper format issues plagued me from the start. I reached out for any help I could get. Jeff, Toby, Gabe, Sean and Steven Clark have been extremely helpful in my development and have taken the time to go through my scripts pointing out the mistakes. I still have a ton to learn and continue to have problems here and there with issues that I mentioned but this site and those 5 guys has been great for peeps like me with little to no experience.
I consider myself the turd that these guys (just to name a few i.e. Phil, Pia, Bert, James McClung, Alffy, Mark More, Greg, Janet, Julio, Mark Lyons and many more) help become partially polished. lol.
None of this would have happened if not for the great Don who created this website. Don...that's mafia godfather status. lol.

I'd have to say that Jeff was the one who helped guide me through the errors of my first script.
I remember how kind and thoughtful he was. Never a mean word to say. I think it was the way he sugarcoated everything and spoke with a softness so rarely seen in the world that stood out the most to me.
I also learned from Phil what 'present progressive tense' is.

Pia gave me lots of helpful suggestions on how to market my work...where to put it, that kind of thing. And shortly after, I had my first short produced.
As far as remembering one particular screenplay, I can't recall but I know for sure I've learned plenty while being here.
It's Jager, not Jeager!!!!!! How many times do I need to repeat this? Think of all the times you use this word in your writing...you must remember the correct spelling.
