You're very welcome.While reading Plan Nine From Texas, I thought about the logline. Before I saw your message I actually wrote an 800 word article on the logline. I'm glad I wrote it. I am sure I can put it to use. Besides, I need to write everything I’m learning about the screenwriting process. I'm thinking of making a blog and posting this in serial installments. Next I will discuss the beat sheet then the treatment or series bible.
I am interested in the Almayer’s Folly project. Earlier today, I started my version of chapter one. Writing your version of the short story is like the scripts treatment and I want to write an installment. I’d like to continue with my version of chapter one. It is coming along and I can probably send you something tomorrow afternoon. I will try to give you a chapter a week. But I’m also trying to finish my script for Screencrafters Fellowship Contest. So, I will do my best to multitask.
Check your inbox tomorrow night. I assume you can proof.
Thanks again for the invite.

Would you like the post removed?Oops. That was supposed to be a private message. What can I say, I don’t pay attention.
I'm glad you posted here. For one thing, I've been here for over a month and I have no idea how long my comments are going to be monitored. For another, it keeps it from looking like I'm talking to myself on this thread. 'Couple of weeks ago, Becki invited me to join in a discussion about a S. K. story, and I think the conversation was over about two and a half hours before my first comment was posted.While reading Plan Nine From Texas, I thought about the logline.

Your posts will be moderated until you reach 150. (75 to go...)I'm glad you posted here.

I'm not sure why you think you were misled about the real-time discussion/s? It is true that there is not always a moderator available, but we do our best.So why let someone believe he can participate in a real-time discussion, and leave him hanging in the wind? Moreover, I'd say that if you can't tell whether you can trust someone in fifty comments, making it one hundred and fifty doesn't make any sense. (I'm sure you didn't personally come up with that 150, but it's loony.) Someone's going to bide their time for over two months, and then suddenly go on a rampage? That's what a person in a S. K. story might do. No one on the planet is going to do that in real life. If someone were that patient, he'd be spending his time carefully planning midnight jewelry store break ins.
I post comments and try to start discussions with people in an on-the-level manner. I know it's a practical suggestion, but it doesn't fit in with my philosophy. For instance, all of my "friends" lists are small. If you're on it, and you are, it means you've made a good impression on me. Dana Jean mentioned "clearing the slate." But there are people in this small group who don't talk to me. (Not my fault, in my own view.)I'm not sure why you think you were misled about the real-time discussion/s?

And, also, there once was a time that all messages were moderated at all times--the board runs a lot more smoothly this way and in our experience, people are usually pretty patient with the moderation period.
Perhaps you should make use of different threads like a lot of other new users do to speed up the process?
I'm not sure what to say to this, sorry. The thing I would do, is to probably go into the threads (lots of them) that have already been started and just chat about random things. Chattery Teeth does have a high daily post count, so starting there might be a good idea.I post comments and try to start discussions with people in an on-the-level manner.

It's cool.What do you think of my logo? I love Calvin and Hobbes. I think it fits in with the "scary" theme while being a bit humorous and cool looking.
I've looked for people to talk with and discussions to be involved in. They don't always fit in with my personality. Unless I happen to like the other person's personality, I'm not much for small talk. Only do that with people I hit it off with. But I refuse to discuss cat pictures with people unless there's a reason to. LOVE Becki's cat, Jack Sparrow. Interesting story with that cat. And of course Becki is my buddy. But Jack ain't no ordinary cat. He's a one-eyed survivor.I'm not sure what to say to this, sorry.

I understand what you're saying, but your complaint was that it was taking an age to become unmoderated so my suggestion was/is designed to help you with that.I've looked for people to talk with and discussions to be involved in.

Okay. I guess I was just venting a bit about the injustices in the world.I understand what you're saying, but your complaint was that it was taking an age to become unmoderated so my suggestion was/is designed to help you with that.
It's possible that you can't have both, (pick and choose who you interact with (and about what) while also increasing your post count more quickly) so I guess, you just have to make a choice about which is more important to you right now.
