    As long as there's plenty of sex romance.

    You could make the Redcoat Catholic which would further explain his turning his back on his oath and colleagues.

    You could post an excerpt of your script here to get feedback.

    Not sure if a catholic would be allowed in the red coats back then?

    Secretly Catholic while pretending to adhere to the religion of the hell bound. ;)

    The best advice I can give you is to research what's required to write scripts. There's a format and rules to learn which aren't needed so much in fiction writing but are crucial to writing scripts.

    Use google and you should be able to find some scripts to help you to see the format.

    'You are right look there coming this way,' In a script each line needs to be a dinger and not just something to progress the story.

    A better line may be something like, 'We need to warn my mother,' Not Oscar winning quality, but works better than your line, imho. :)

    Good luck

    Hi,

    Thanks for your advice and good wishes,


    As you may have guessed i am not the best @ script formating,

    A couple of award winning film makers like the concept of the story,

    One of these directors told me i should make the leader of the red coats a real nasty guy, before he turned coats,
