Why won't you do anything for me?!

Just wanted to give an update, my seeds are still the same, some split some didn't, it looks as though there might be some clear stuff on the papertowel under the seeds but not connected. I am starting to think my seeds don't want to do anything I mean a week has gone by now! I hope something more starts happening I don't know what I am doing wrong, everything is as it should be, papertowel is wet, they have been protected and I have been checking everyday....
