Thanks, I REALLY appreciate it.
No problem, Vod.

I'd make it a habit of reading the scripts to your favorite films - just to see how the page translates to the screen. You can find tons of free scripts to read online (forgot the links, sorry.)



To answer bwind - I've written 24 feature-length screenplays in just under 6 years (used to be an actor before that) and 18 of them are stright-up horror (anywhere from creature-feature to gothic, period pieces) A couple are action/fantasy (going out with a new one of these in a couple of weeks) and the rest are comedy.

I've sold 1
Optioned 2 (giving someone temporary rights to make the film for less money than an all-out sale - if they fail to make the film in a specific amount of time, the property reverts back to me)
Landed 3 assignments for SciFi Channel
Landed 1 assignment from an Independant producer (a pirate flick, no less, aaaaaaarrrgh)

And newb, thanks for comin' correct with the English lesson. as for me I'll be
