No, what you need is to
1) stop double-posting,
2) learn to spell, and
3) cut with the all-caps.
Writers are not slaves; nor are they dogs, to come when you call. They are people--and they're much more cat people to boot: fidgety, prone to flight, wary of strangers. If you want to catch one, pretend you're dating them. Do nice things for them, be aware of their feelings, treat them with respect. Maybe one will agree to help you out. But that's a long shot in itself; most writers I know are too busy doing their own work to have time for anyone else's. Ideas are cheaper to come by than time, you see.
So, what you really need is to
5) learn to be a writer yourself. Whoever wrote your stories for you... Well, they wouldn't get them right. They can't, even if they try, because they have different opinions than you do on how the world works and how fiction should be like, and those opinions are hard-wired into them in a way that cannot be changed. They won't write your story, they'll write your story their way. And many important things will change in the telling. So if you want your story written, your way... You'll need to do it yourself.
Best wishes.

This is a touch unfair. All the poor sap did is hit the Caps Lock as well as the Shift when typing the second version of the post. That's why the initial "I" is lower case but the rest is upper case.
Other than that I agree completely with everything you say.

I can attempt to write something for you, PM me if you are still looking.
Hopefully we can figure some guidelines out.
