I am new to the industry so maybe I am missing something. On at least 5 occasions now I have reached out to industry professionals that are actively promoting their services. I don't want to drop any names but these are folks who claim to specialize in helping you sell your screenplay, want to be a...

Expand comment@ Bill - Loved the idea about Miriam and Daniel being past lovers, maybe in college. Already incorporated that. The script hasn't gone through editing yet. Sorry if there are some typos or grammer things. It's not at that stage yet. I am cleaning as I go but it will go off to a poof reader and grammar Nazi before it goes out. I need to focus on getting other parts industry ready first. Like working out drive train issues and cutting things down. I have already started the 5th rewrite and it's better because of all of your help 32 - THANKS!!!!! I am VERY much open to PEER REVIEWS and I have been taking advice here and putting it in.

Expand commentI'm learning myself the difference between eagerness and enthusiasm. Maybe I'll blog about it sometime. What really sucks is when you have no one to share eagerness with yet we can all share enthusiasm. Even when a work is just almost there we get overly eager to share. Done it many times myself and still do in some respects. I also think that sometimes people misinterpret eagerness and enthusiasm. Mark is right and it keeps us from backtracking and sometimes we honestly don't see out opportunity for betterment until after that eagerness got us. With all that said there is also a naturalness to being wishy washy at times. Anyway good luck to you. Hope they help you because this sounds like a really solid, maybe even high concept endeavor.

Expand commentThis has been a long running thread on 32 and I just wanted to reach out to everyone who commented with a thank you. You might find this surprising but many of the comments here were actually taken seriously and incorporated into the 5th rewrite which I just completed. For anyone who actually read the script and private messaged me insights and ideas - a special thank you to you! As a new writer I cannot express how helpful most of you here on 32 have been. Because of you, I am already a better writer and have a much better script in Absolution.

Instead they secretary tells you they are not taking on new patients. My vet is also this way. Your auto mechanic has spoiled you for the real world.
