I have had two comments posted on my story Loneliness supposedly by someone called Goldenmind who lives in Africa and is asking for my help with a play but when I searched for a profile nothing came up.

I don't know what to do so would appreciate some help with this.

I clicked 'user' tab when I had put his name in the search box and then I got a link. He exists and is African by the look of his photo!

Hello sid, Thanks for responding so quickly too. I was worried because when I put his name in the search box it came up with nothing found. Thanks again, Moya

Hi Denzella - what exactly do you find worrying? He's relatively new on ABC - has only posted a few things so far. English isn't his first language, so perhaps it's the way he's phrased his comment? I think he just wants to compliment you on your writing in the first comment, and then is asking you to edit his play in the second - quite a big ask!

Hello insert, What worried me was that when I put his name in the search box it came up with nothing found and as I had recently had a scare with my computer I wondered if this was something like it. However, Had I clicked on the user button as was suggested to me I would have seen that it was all okay. Thank you for responding though. I am a bit of a worrier. I've looked at his play and I'm not sure I have the necessary skill to help him but I will take a look as it must be difficult for him working in a second language and living where he does. Thanks once again Moya

Hello Denzella, I can't really add to any of the excellent advice you already received. I just wish you best wishes in perhaps giving some insight to this young person. The key to his play is who is his audience? If African, perhaps he can ally it with a Western slant, perhaps a satire if not too sad. Cheers. Richard LP
