scriptwriting

If you don't want to go back on your word, can't you draw up some sort of signed contract thingy which states that you get a percentage of his eventual earnings? Perhaps someone knows some screenwriting sites you can check out as, I have to say, I don't know an awful lot about it? Good luck, though.

UKA has some interesting articles on scriptwriting, Funk. Only on the front page at the moment, though, as the scriptwriting page itself is being updated. There's a 'beginners guide' article amongst other things, for example, which might be useful.

thanks andrea, I thought about it, and I'll jus write it cause it will be good experience. I'am not exactly a pro anyway, so I'll jus look on it as a learning curve and see what I can learn from it. thanks for the ukauthor tip, read some stuff on there which was helpful thanks. Fu#k money man - I hate the stuff. I hate the way it makes me paranoid and all that. Have spent so fu#king long in poverty, even when I had a job I still had no money. I don't get it, poverty follows me around like a shadow, I think I am cursed or something. Or maybe its cause I just haven't got the aggresive quality and competitive spirit that gets you money. I guess that's why I get paranoid about it. I hate being poor man, it sucks. Sick to death of it in fact. am learning how to do website design in the hope that becoming a webmaster might get me out of this poverty trap. Who knows, I'am off to a monastary on a retreat in a few weeks to get away from all this material stuff for a bit. Don't think I can cope much more with this world - feel like I'am heading close to a breakdown. Sorry to say all this depressing stuff again. Maybe I should go and see a doctor or something. I'am getting to the stage were every time I see a bank I imagine it as being the enemy. Money has become the one ring to bind us all. I think I was born in the wrong time - cause I can't get my head round functioning in this world, I jus can't abide in the politics anymore. Sick of pretending everything is alright when it aint. I wish money didn't exist. Wouldn't it be great? if everyone just skillshared. You know like someone builds you a place to live in exchange you grow them some food. Someone teaches you how to do taichi and in exchange you make them some pots. Someone teaches you how to play a musical instrument and you grow them some cannabis. etc etc in such a world everyone has something to give and nobody has to do a shite job if they don't want to. Things would get greener because there would be no such thing as cutting costs, as there would be no costs to cut. So we would be able to find power using windmills and solar panels. Lots of bad stuff would stop happening, as it only happens because of money. Man I could go on dreaming... thats all I do: dream.. kill my dreams so that I might live them..

please dont change your user name I want to read your stuff.. think I'll try something with 'Babylon' next.. (Insist on some money nevertheless..)

Nah, don't change your name, Funk - we all loves yer really. Just try not to screw up the post format again, eh? Makes it very awkward to read...

LOL

Seems to me you got some serious problems Funky! The world isn't about to change whether you'd like it to or not. It's not a very nice place a lot of the time, and I can see that's because of greed etc. but the only way you're going to survive is to come to terms with it. We all have dreams, but you have to realise that that is what they are, just dreams! They ain't gonna happen mate, and if they did, well they wouldn't be dreams would they, they'd be reality. My advice is, stop trying to cure the worlds problems and focus on what affects you here and now. I don't really like to say this because I know it ain't gonna be popular, but stop smoking the f***ing weed and help yourself to a dose of 'cold light of day'.

yeah well, its precisely because people walk around with your kind of shitty attitude that nothing does change!!

It's called 'reality' Funky, and it also seems that you're the one with the attitude! I wasn't putting you down, or trying to pick a fight, if anything I was sympathising with you. My attitude, either way, won't change a damn thing and neither will yours.

I jus want to apologise for the intensity of this thread. Yeah man I swear I won't post any more insane stuff like this in the forums again. When I posted all that I was suffering from insomnia and lack of sleep. Must have only had something like 4 hours sleep in the space of 36-48 hours. So I wasn't thinking rationally. When I saw this thread today it made me cringe. soz missisipi for my attitude, and to anyone else. You probably all think I'am a nutcase. Will try to tone down my chaoticness from now on. Be a bit more quiet and thoughtful about stuff. anyway keep it real an all that. much respect Richie

I don't think you're a nutcase Richie, I think you have problems like the rest of us. I've lived with mine for 58yrs now and I'll probably die with 'em too. It's never a case of 'I'm right, you're wrong', it's 'I'm different to you and we're both different to everybody else'. The answers to my problems are only an answer to mine and yours would be different, even for the same problem. I know the world can seem an horrific place, especially for the young who don't have a lifetime of experience to help point the way. There's no short cut to wisdom, it takes 50yrs to get 50yrs experience! Even then some people never work out how to have a happy fulfilling life that they can look back on with contentment, I am one of those myself. I also suffer from insomnia, and have done on and off, for years. Some people take sleeping pills; I watch TV and swig a bottle of brandy until I collapse. I wasn't trying to be provocative about the grass, there are more people who don't indulge than there are that do and we all survive. Take care of yourself and don't get too depressed.

Funky, it's people like you who question everything that are instrumental in man's progress. Keep on thinkin' man

Can anyone in here give me some helpful tips on writing a script for my own film Thanx
