After all it might just be a way to attract just that sort of attention.<BR/><BR/>I have the same problems trying to find the right producer for my stuff and have so far failed miserably. I have found some consolation in posting Middle Ditch and I also began posting my other written scripts.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.

Not all publications feel that way about blogs, but just in case, until you've felt the options have been exhausted, you might want to wait to post them here. Of course, I still wanna read 'em!<BR/><BR/>Now, here's another thought. What if you recast this story in present tense?Bill Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796321136771189464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037118500940244494.post-36127442951787722322008-01-09T07:43:00.000-08:002008-01-09T07:43:00.000-08:00Thanks for that vesper.

I have had a little success...but nothing to get too excited about. The problem I find is, there's not many publications that take on stories from the darkside...but I'll keep trying.<BR/>:)Akasha Savage.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13482147165827577180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037118500940244494.post-76288940505021056242008-01-09T04:07:00.000-08:002008-01-09T04:07:00.000-08:00Oops!
