For discussion of your writing. Create a new thread for your writing sample. Whole scripts down to a scene. Anything over a couple of pages should be attached as a .txt or a .pdf format file. Please keep comments constructive - it's the easiest thing in the world to shred a script - what counts is making it better. Please use common sense when posting - this is a family friendly forum. This is a lively forum, just PM for the password.
