Don,

This site is great as it is.  Implementing your vision is simply remarkable for writers such as myself who have but the slightest prayer of ever selling a script.  I'm thousands of miles from California, not a single contact, and what you're willing to do for free others charge an exorbitant amount of money.  If I am ever one of the fortunate few to achieve any amount of success writing, I hope to follow in your footsteps and help others realize their dreams without trying to capitalize in the process.  

Thank You!

Don, this seems like a right and proper direction to go... I'm on board, however I can be.

Cheers!

Gee Don, number three seems like a massive commitment for you. Most people in your position charge for that. What an outstandingly fine individual are you!

I'm flat out finishing a very intense diploma but will be done with the worst of it in a couple of months and hope to go nuts with my screenwriting and be able to take advantage of what your offering and contribute to the site more.

My thanks to you for your help in the past...seems like the future's going to get even better!

I've been a part of this forum for over three years now and I must say it has been of better use to me than any of the hundreds of books I've ever read. I'm really looking forward to seeing Script Nurse continue to evolve and assist us writers in our endevours. If I must say, and I'll put this bluntly -- because that's how I roll -- you have done a hell of a job, Don. The same goes to all the contributer on this forum.

Where is Script Nurse headed?

Most of the writers are here for information — I have information, guidance and free advice. Script Nurse serves its purpose best in nurturing new writers, teaching them the ropes and getting them ready to go out and sell that first script. Perhaps I should change the name to Script Coach. Ten years ago, I started Script Nurse because I didn't feel I was qualified to call myself a Script Doctor — and I still don't. So, being second in line seemed more appropriate. Well, in the last ten years I've learned a thing or two.

How will things be different in the months ahead?

1. The same free advice and opinions you've always had available will continue.
2. More focus on education.
3. Free spec screenplay coaching on your writing projects, schedule permitting ... I will read and offer suggestions on your work.
4. Script Nurse will become more about what it takes to write, rewrite and polish up a script ... cost for all this? FREE

What I will NOT do.

1. I will not edit your work for you.
2. I will not read crappy, lazy or sloppy writing.
3. I will not hold back.
4. I am not the right person to help you with non-spec script formats like anime, cartoons, games and live video.

I would like to have a couple of Assistant Coaches so we can help more writers simultaneously. I want to have a mechanism where everyone on here can have a private space to have a story conference on their projects that's entirely private from other users — one on one meeting rooms, if you will. I am working on this now.

That's my vision for the future of Script Nurse.
