I want to write a screenplay

[sting]

Does anybody have any advice? I feel I have at least one good story in me.

Thanks in advance.

Photos of big tits will help. Plus: use big print, that way you don't have to write as many words to fill the pages up.

Start here: http://www.booklounge.ca/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780771085260. It's available in most libraries.

Then investigate http://www.screenwriting.info/ and http://www.wildsound-filmmaking-feedback-events.com/how-to-write-a-screenplay.html. Both those sites are trying to sell you something, but aside from that there's some good tips in them.

Bear in mind that everyone's got a story. Whether the story is something that others will pay for is another matter.

What kind of advice??? Technical? Format? Markets?
Here's a free and very good scripteditor program if you haven't already got one.

There are many pro writer blogs on the web with plenty of insights.
Here are two Toronto local ones to start. Many links on them.

The opening sentence should be: "It was a dark and stormy night".

If Col. Mustard spilled something on his shirt, would it me a mustard stain?

Not sure, but I would blame it on the butler.

.........it was that filthy beast of a bear that had caused the people of the village so much trouble. The oldest child threw the first stone at the beast and the others followed. The beast lay dead.....killed by the children he had terrified all summer. That night as they stretched his hide awaiting the sunrise to dry, they feasted on this beast. Jenny, Peter's youngest. spoke up and said this was one great bear, pass the potatoes.

I'll bet I could find a publisher for that work of art!

I was thinking of producing it as a short film...........All I need is a bear for the title role.

The Bear had faked his death, and ate all the little children, and was last seen chasing down a blue smerf like creature.
