SCREENWRITERS: Reminder of why you need to get your shit out there into the market for REAL.
NICHOLL passed on two of my scripts in the same year. Ghosted.
However, I was already signed at CAA. Both scripts had already landed in Hollywood with A-lister tastemakers. I had already done water bottle tours on both.
This is after Shari finally read one and said “Lemme slip it to Joe Cohen/CAA. He might dig it.” He did. (My very first industry read)
CAA was helping package one to direct. Anonymous was helping package the other to direct.
Erwin Stoff had already offered me TWO gigs.
Imagine if I had believed the GHOST from Nicholl was correct—That I sucked and wasn’t READY.
If you KNOW you are. Get your shit OUT THERE!
I’m adamant. No one can change my mind on this stance.
Put your plan of attack together this afternoon. Not tomorrow(s)
You do not need validation from services nor laurels nor 8s. Period.
Good luck! 👊🏾😘

Hey #screenwriters. This is just your weekly reminder that the script you’re writing could only have been written by you and you alone, and that’s what makes it remarkable.

Instead of describing the thing in your screenwriting, evoke it. Decide how you want the audience to feel about it.
You are writing the first version of the movie. You're the director.
So, it's a big house. Great.
Do you want us to judge it? Be impressed by it? Repulsed? Do you want us to laugh at it?
Know how YOU feel about it, and know how you want US to feel about it.
Then write for that outcome.
Yesterday, I doubted every single thing about my WIP. Today, the pieces came together and this may be my best work yet. Screenwriting is WILD!
Thank you @PAGEawards for my first placement in this contest. Ecstatic to see so many of my friends on the list. You guys ROCK!

I'm not unaccustomed to receiving the occasional hate e-mail, but when someone is special enough that they send it from a profile that identifies their employer, I think both they and their company, @coldwellbanker, should get the publicity they apparently crave.
