Well atleast you tried and can write stories. But i hope this gives you time to improve on your comedy so next time it will be funny. Good job tho.
Thanks Iron. This is the type of support a lot of people don't get on forums nowadays. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, without a doubt. I posted this with the best intentions...not really expecting such an uproar. I'm a decent writer who does in fact, suffer from dyslexia. I know first hand, how people can be discouraged from doing anything "entertainment" related these days, because there are a lot of people who have a lot of time on their hands that love to bring someone down when they can do something better (or think they can do something better--this is considered competition). If technology were around 30 years ago, there would be NO Francis Ford Coppola, NO George Lucas, NO Marlon Brando, NO Jack Nicholson etc, etc. Because people would tell them how much their Youtube videos "suck", or how they're 3-page spoofs suck, and how they'll never make it, etc. etc.
And this is not to say the thing I posted is great. I never said that. I meant to be a short spoof, and "a good read". But since everyone will attack me, more or less, I'm going to defend my statements by letting everyone know how I feel, and that I do in fact know people in high places in Los Angeles, and the film business (Manager of Writers for Solaris Entertainment, Vice President of New Line Cinema), and they've read my REAL work, they never kissed my a**, they were always honest with me. They've addressed to me numberous times actually, my treatment work(s) are highly imaginative, original, and well-constructed (and doable at a low-cost) unlike the mountains of "fan fiction", and rehases, they receive on a weekly basis. The only flaw they find in my work, is the dialogue, I always notice it needs major improvement in some areas, as well. So they offer a co-writer to assist me. I appreciate the notion of having a co-writer to assist me, it's a win/win situation if a screenplay is co-written. But how does this make me any better in the end? I'm no better than anybody out there, but how will I improve my craft if I'm assisted? So yeah, that's the only thing that ticks me off from time to time, is when you go out of your way to post something you think others will enjoy, and then there is such hostility, that implies an individual is not talented.
You'll find a lot of people are full of _____ in the industry. And like many forum members do on a daily basis, they kiss up to someone only, AFTER the fact, something (sculpts, screenplays, films, music, etc.) has been distributed through a major corporation. It's called fame. And I'm far from it. I'm just stating facts here.
