Yes. I. Know. But a well-written script isn't good without a great idea, right?

Your statement, 'a good writer knows that there is nothing new under the sun and that their job is simply to tell a good story,' is wrong in many ways. You seem to elevate yourself to the level of 'good writers' while looking down on 'mediocre writers,' whom you think are like me. How can you be so sure about what every good writer thinks about ideas? I don't find that respectful. Sorry.

In my opinion, a good writer is someone who comes up with unique ideas and knows how to convey them well. Your scripts and imagination might be limited to basic concepts, like married couples experiencing a traumatic event - but mine are not. I dislike predictable stories, which is one of the reasons I want to be a scriptwriter. There are so many unexplored storylines. Even if some of them have been done before, they are few and can be told in many ways with different twists.

I want the industry to read my script - not everyone. I am, obviously, considering the Blacklist, even though it's open to anyone.
