So I changed my title to something more "witty". Or at least I hope it's funnier and grabs attention. I don't know what I was thinking when I came up with "Confessions of a Screenwriter."
I plead temporary dramatics your honor. I've since sobered up.
Anyways, I've sent out my first set of query letters for "The Indomitable Spirit." Much to my surprise (sarcasm), no one is "accepting new clients at this time." Now, whether or not that's a fancy way to say "screw off little film school boy" or they're actually not accepting new clients right now is something that remains to be seen. Me? I'm leaning towards the former.
Thus why I took the first letter I got back and framed it. Amateur? Certainly. Spiteful? You betcha. Wasteful? Eh.....I don't think so.
Whether I'm a millionaire Hollywood big shot driving around in a Batmobile one day, or if I'm fighting to get into a soup kitchen at 3 a.m. dressed like the squeegee guy by the bus station, this letter is proof that I tried. That's not always enough, I know. But I could never forgive myself for not trying. I'll do the starbucks jobs to pay the bills. But man.....if I wasn't writing I think I'd go out of my mind. I have to find some way to get my hero complex out of me and complain about the habits of society, right?
