I would take advantage of the script sites (zoetrope.com, triggerstreet.com, cinefuse.com) as places to present your writing and get comments upon them





part of the requirement before posting your mnaterial is to read the scripts of others. This is the best way to get a feel for what you may want to do and how to do it well
Reply:As a writer my self...I say write something that your comfortable with...Granted taking risks some time pays off big but ...Do you feel is right and dont second guess your self ....they wont know it went wrong unless you tell them
