What a wonderful Jan 2012 turned out to be for me.
I secured representation with an Entertainment Attorney in LA. WhooHoo!!
I have been writing screenplays for the last 20 years skirting the fringe of the business.
All I can admit to:
I've written 14 screenplays.
Optioned 3.
Sold 0
Continued my craft education with seminars, tele-seminars, screenwriting books, etc.
I have reached the point where I am not settling for sitting with the fringe group any longer.
I have paid my emotional dues and now I am taking myself seriously... I am a professional screenwriter.
I am starting a Page One rewrite on an adaptation screenplay attached with a Letter of Intent to a major Production company.
I have a working agreement for my next screenplay. (We are working on getting LOI's from two other Production companies.)
I am developing other ideas, log lines, pitches for other projects.
This is what I've wanted to do all my life.
Why did I wait so long.....?
I guess it was my fear of success. As silly as that sounds I am not alone. I would guess many, a vast majority of people, sit and wonder what would I do if I succeeded at my dreams? What if I gave it my best and failed? What if I wasn't good enough? What would I dream then?
I keep done something until I can't do it any longer.
For me it was sitting on the fringe. No more fringe sitting for me.
Risking my dream is living my dream.
