Okay, the title intrigued me because in order for it to be his last choice, I suppose he would have to die after that choice, hence, no more choices.

Then I read your logline and realized that this was a prelude to another movie I suppose for which he chose to do.

See what I mean? Anyway...

You need writing software, my friend.

There are good ones out there for free. TRELBY and CELTX

Did I mention they were free??

When you do get software, rewrite this again in the format dictated by industry standards. It doesn't have to be perfect by no means. If you have read any scripts around here, you will realize that isn't the case at all.

BUT, it has to be readable in a format consistent with a script's format.

Start there.

And let’s see what you got.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Shawn.

It's taken me a while, but I have reformatted the script using trelby.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to find the page for the script I originally uploaded. I'd like to submit this new version I have as a revision.

How do I do that?
The FIND function on the front page only seems to return a link to the original PDF on the SimplyScripts web site and nothing else.

You re-submit it the same way you did your original script, buddy.

Go the the SS main page where it says submit a script. Follow the instructions and in a few days, or weeks, depending on how busy Don is, he will replace the old script for the new one.

Be sure and note when submitting it, that you're replaceing an existing one. That way the thread (this one) will remain in tact.

Then, once it's posted, you come back on, announce that you have updated your script with a newer version and people will (you hope) read it and give reviews.

***REMEMBER***
This place is give and take.

You need to put in to get out. In other words, don't expect a ton of reads if the only script you're concerned about is yours.

You have to show other's here you're willing to read and review scripts and they, in turn will give back to you.

Make sense?

Hope so. Take care.

OK thanks.

It's re-uploaded now.

It was worth it reformatting it, the story didn't really change but it did make the story pop more, I felt.

D'oh! I forgot to mention it was an update to an existing script. I hope the admin catches that anyway.

Anyhow, thanks for your advice.

Hi Jean-Claude,

I just want to advice you to use dropbox. Someone else told me about it and I am oh so grateful.
Dropbox.com - you can change you entries there and no need to resubmit, just change and reload.
