I thought I should probably do things the proper way. I've posted a script, but I didn't really give any details on who I was and why I'm here.
So, my real name is Daniel Botha and I am a high school student in New Zealand. Yes, I'm a high school student, only fifteen years old. However, I try not to let my age get in my way. I first joined a screenwriting board wen I was 14. I am a frequent member of simplyscripts.net which is a community I am glad I joined. The people there are incredibly friendly and helpful. Rather than looking down on me because of my age, the folks over there have nurtured the craft and helped make me the writer I am today. I have made a bunch of friends, who are happy to take my opinions on board. I hope you guys do the same.
As for the feedback I provide, I hope that it's sound and good enough for writers to go forward. I haven't had people complain, yet. I believe in honesty. If I don't like something, I plan on telling you in a way that is polite and informative. Sometimes, my comments can be seen as a little rude, which is never my intention. I don't mean to offend.
Despite my age, I believe I may have a passion for writing. Even better, I have a passion for helping others in whatever way I possibly can. There's something extremely satisfying about knowing that you've helped.
Anyway, that's about it from me. I hope this forum kicks off. Things will be a little slow at first, but hopefully this forum gets the exposure it deserves.
Look forward to meeting with you all.
