Screenwriting Business
Alright, so we are still deep into the quarantine I am unshaven, unshowered, living in my boxers and writing my tail off. Suffice it to say, I am living my best life ;) I check my emails while eating my fruity pebbles (yes fruity - not cocoa, I'm not a psychopath) and found one of them was a query from a writer in Hunan Province.

It's what happens when someone thinks screenwriting is easy and then attempts it with total disregard of the craft. This is a universal issue which unfortunately results in a Frankenstein like monstrosity that is unreadable. That being said, I enjoy helping those writers learn that there is so much more to the depth of this craft. However, this writer didn't want instruction or mentorship. They instead wanted me to fix their script for them. Well that is what I do, but this would have had...
