Sounds like a good link. It's hard to find people in the biz who understand the poor, struggling ones as many of us are. I was going to ask why most script consultants won't even entertain the idea of workiing out paymennt plans with someone who cannot afford hundreds of dollars.
We should be able to help each other out here , right people.
Write on.

I want to add that I hope I wasn't offending anyone by what I wrote. Ii guessss I didn't state it very well. So, I hope I didn't; it wasn't my attention. The consultants, people at Writer's U., Writer's Store are very helpful and offer lots of free info. here. I just can't work at a regular job-hopefully temporarily so I don't have the income.

Hi Mary,

I'm very glad to help! I wouldn't worry too much about hiring professional script consultants if you don't have the money. While they can offer helpful advice, it certainly isn't necessary in order to learn to write a good script.

You can always swap comments and suggestions with people you know and on online discussion boards like this one. Regardless of whether they come from a professional or an aspiring writer, in the end it's always up to you to decide which ones are helpful for your story. Either way, they're just ideas and hints to support your personal creativity. It's not as though you can simply pay someone to make your script saleable. If only it were that easy! :)
