Howdy. I'm just wondering if anyone can give a fledgling writer a few tips. I have many scripts for comedy skits, but i also have a ten minute play that I'm pretty happy with. It's a "meninist" play, about a modern man's emancipation from a life he felt he had no control or respect in. I have Asperger's Syndrome,(which means I write ALOT....it IS compulsive)but sometimes renders me a bit derrrr when it comes to the 'unwritten social rules',or the politics of being accepted into a group/clique, etc.Which.....grrr...there seem to be a bit of in the arty world. So...what ARE the rules? What do I do with my work? Should I just send it out willy-nilly, or should I be protective? Thanks in advance to anyone who is reading and wants to respond. :-) Tad

If you look around this

If you look around this site you will find a number of people who produce their own scripts. I do for example. You need to find a group of people who will work with you to get your play on. In the meantime, Short and Sweet is a great idea. You could also try and find some groups that do new work and submit. You'll get a lot of rejection and sometimes your script will simply vanish without trace but don't give up. As for your disability I'm a borderline bi-polar (That's something I've never admitted to before on this site) so while it's different from Aspbergers I know how coping with being "different" can be difficult. Keep on going. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
