Thanks.
I wanted to take a couple of classes to learn how to write TV scripts. I checked into the local college and I would have to take two classes, 2 days a week for 16 weeks, and they cost $565/each! By the time you add the price of books and transportation it would cost $1500, not to mention all that horrible homework they give you. 😠

But now I can take a course on script writing for FREE, right from home at my own leisure. By the way, for any of you with a great imagination there's a lot of money to be made by YOU! Why? Cause there's big money in advertising and most people don't like to watch advertisements when they are trying to watch their movie; so the broadcasting company is open to great scripts for commercials that make people want to watch them! All it takes is a basic knowlwdge of script writing and a good imagination.
