I can't waste any more of my time on folks trying to step all over me and my writing, and it's probably what I'm doing to those who wrote before me so it would be good to know some rules so I can peacefully coexist. I'm off to another place anyways but food for thought all this!

Clearly not in forum where there are admins and moderators, but outside of it, in the real world: Is there such a thing as a hierarchy in writing, the steps to take before becoming this and that? I think that's what was bothering me in the past because a lot of folks around me are in other...

It was, however, my goal to have folks read my monologue in Writer's Showcase but now there's another post there above mine (poster Heartlet Happer). I hope you read all of them but mine especially. :D

There are societies that appreciate individualism and those that don't, where I live there are folks (1% of society?) that are superstars but I don't think that kind of fame was ever my goal. What I want is to write and affect the society in a constructive way I guess.

Rath, Louanne and Seth are nice with all the likes but let me please have my say. @big soft moose

It would be good to have a written confirmation that I existed here before some of you just like you have the written confirmation that you are "notable posters".

For me it's few beers tonight, I like the effect of vodka but when I'm in contemplative mood.

Fair enough, could be that the screenwriters and people interested in learning about screenwriting/scriptwriting are in other online places. There was one entry in that competition and few ocassional mentions of scripts/screenplays but a lot of disconnect. I am surprised because filmmaking is a...

The term scriptwriting could be refering more to YouTube scripts, and screenwriting is for feature films and TV (can be for YouTube series). They are sometimes used interchangably but scriptwriting reminds me of writing essays or newspaper articles that get filmed and screenwriting is writing a...
