Stumbled accross this 'guide to scriptwriting' website the other day, and it had two main pieces of advise to offer-
1) get used to rejection & re-writes (often not your own, but suck it up). It'll happen a lot, and just know that the directors vision will most probably look wildly different from your own.
2) There are a lot of ways to make quick cash to pay the rent while suffering through the rejections. But do not. Under any circumstances. do. Striptease!
I found it quite funny that the next page I opened was listing female scriptwriters currently working on some great projects. Including oh, you know, Diablo Cody (Juno), Raelle Tucker (True Bood), and Sera Gamble (Supernatural). Two things all women have in common? They're fierce writers and have all at some point made money by taking off their clothes.
Not saying it's the way to go, or that it's a bad idea, just a little midnight intrigue moment.
Oh, and this twitter business? It's insane! You can literally find the most random people and they'll be putting their entire lives out there for you to follow. It's strangely intriguing, and possibly somewhat disturbing.
I see the update to the website now - Rule no 3) Do not, under any circumstances, give out your creative ideas via Twitter. People. Will. STEAL!
Oh, but then there's the now infamous 'Shit my dad says' which, I'll admit, is disturbingly addictive & hilarious. Can't 'wait to see what they make of it if it really does hit the small screens!
xoxo
