Thanks.

Updates- Anything Goes is in the hands of a new publisher who is considering it for publication. Maybe Mr. Melani isn't dead after all!!

Thanks for the update Michael. Hope it takes off. :^)

Me too!! The book publisher, whose a friend of mine really loves one of my large paintings, an wanted to pay me to use it as one of his upcoming book covers, as well as buy the original painting.. So in lue of him paying me for those, I said to him, how about I give you the rights, and the painting and in return you help me get this novel published!!! And to my surprise he said yes!!!! So it's in the works... I have a feeling that it will get a kindle book publishing thing first. But fingers crossed!!! Our baby isn't dead!!!

Wow! That's awesome. Keep me posted. Very exciting and happy for you on the painting. :^)

LOL. Beth, she seems to be in everyone's head on here. lolrof.

NO Bruce... You are horribly offensive. Period.

Bruce. I have done no such thing. We have not attacked you. You have made your own choices. I suggest you reexamine your posts. You are being a bully. Your statements are incredibly inappropriate for a professional setting. We are tired of your behavior and have called you out on it. You can respond all you like, but we're done here.

This girl has too much time on her hands.

You're probably correct Bruce, but boredom also creeps in when you achieve very quickly as much as she has... and you start doing ridiculous things like she does.

Awesome music - Just followed you on Soundcloud as well.

A good contract will help you with any problems with investors. If they won't sign it then do not use them.

Thanks Janet! Yes, indeed. Would love to see how it works by looking over such a contract. I think it would be good to know as much as possible and not rely on others too much... xox

I think you have the ScreenWriters Guild of America? They have good sample contracts, and if you are a memebr they guide you through the process. We have the AWG here in Australia. Great value.

Hi Allan! That is exactly why I would like a professional screenwriter to write the script, as I am just the author of the original book. ;-) I have a lot of ambition though, and have reached out to many people for 2 years now. One producer is now looking into possibilities, so am waiting for her feedback. If this takes off, I believe she will have all the necessities in place, but just to be safe, I need to know as much as possible beforehand, before I sign anything. I would like to have a good end product, not something that will tumble into a deep gorge before it gets started just because I made some stupid mistake. I am very grateful to everyone who helps me see how things work, and how to recognize a bad investor, or if I really need an agent or just a good lawyer when things develop. I have tried so many entrances into the biz by now, that I am lost in the maze, hoping to find my way to the right path that leads to the center. Many thanks for all the feedbacks! Warm hugs! xox

I realize this is an 8 year old message. I'm in the same boat. How are you today? Love to hear about your journey.
