Wow...165,000 words, I only know about 50! I use a lot of 'nos', 'he' and 'its.'

More of a script developer and therefore I need to understand story. but I do write and next year I intend to do more...well that' the plan. If I can help in any way, let me know. I found a great site for helping write queries, hooks, etc. Nice group of people. As for my book...from the very start I've thought of it as a TV/Movie series. Never been done before, to my knowledge. I could always do with a few writing tips. I lack confidence putting pen to paper
In terms of your own project, I'm just thinking what an alternative we might have to Bula Quo - if a Movie Director was found for it

No, not the song. The Calendar. One year ago, more or less, I discovered Quo by complete accident. For those who don't know the story, I was looking for a decent version of Buddy Holly's 'Rave On.' The only modern cover that was any good was the one from the movie, and sung by Gary Busey. But on the side under recommended videos was a version by some band called Status Quo. What the hell, I thought, it's only two minutes, so I clicked it. That one click changed everything. Steeleye Span do an acapella version which I find quite bearable, but then I like Steeleye Span. It's not exactly rock. To be honest I had forgotten Quo did a version. I was playing it on my laptop, and the Mr (who could not see the screen) said "That wouldn't be Status Quo would it?" And I was in the mood to do some scientific research, so I said "How do you know?" and when I had convinced him I wasn't joking, he said "The voice." and I said "Not the guitars?" and he said "Well, that as well, the two together, it couldn't be co-incidence, could it?" So that's the Quo Sound to a member of the public.

If he can do an American accent, Rossi could play one of the major characters...he would get to shoot a lot of people, too. I'm going to inbox you the link, hope it helps, it has helped me a lot.

So that's the Quo Sound to a member of the public. Ha! He and I are on the same page. Now I would recognize Rossi's voice, but then he was just some guy. The guitars, however, stood out right away.
