Happy to help, Rex-

As far as "writing what you love . . ." check out my story here: http://www.movietreatments.com/forum...?p=238#post238

I think the thing is finding a balance between writing what you love and writing something you can sell. I knew a guy (seriously) who mostly wrote movie about gay pirates. I asked him why and he said he loved the idea of a big, gay pirate movie, a huge production, a grand spectacle. I told him it seemed like a longshot, but he didn't care. Don't know whatever happened to him-

Anyway, I guess my point is you need to find a happy medium. And keep the treatments coming-
