Earl, you don't like using periods, do you?  Your sentences are nonstop run-ons.  Look at your synopsis...it's a perfect example.

In your actual script, I didn't see a single time that you used 2 sentences together, in a paragraph.  What I mean, is that you simply wrote 1 long, run-on sentence combined by incorrectly used commas, and called it a paragraph.

Sorry, but this alone is way too much of a problem for me to read any further than a few pages.

Maybe English isn't your native language?  I don't know, but I don't recall ever seeing so many run-on sentences in my life.  Give it another look  and clean this thing up.

I don't think that English is the first language in the Phillipines.

Do they use actual sentences in Tagalog, or are run-ons the way to go?

They use sentences. Much like in english.

I am not sure why the 70 commas per paragraph.
