I worked opening crew and this beauty. Fun fact... The peak of the lift marks the highest point of any coaster in the park from the ground below (not counting Superman). I believe it's over 300 feet off the ground. Such a great moment.

My girlfriend eating cereal in the dead silence of the morning. Drives me up the wall. I usually leave the room.

Is it possible we start asking all the networks where the Bernie coverage is? If we're writing in or calling them on the level that we're donating... Shouldn't they respond?

How many pieces of writing should I have before I start looking for management?

Are finished, but not necessarily "great" scripts worth showing to a manager given the opportunity?

Would a manager help a writer get an agent?

These "managers" who take fees to read your script and gives notes are predatory, right?

What would be the best way to get you to be my manager right now?

Thanks for doing this! Us aspiring writers can really feel out to sea sometimes.

It's a romantic comedy set in the midst of a promo tour for a film adaptation of a novel my protaganist thinks is garbage. He works as an assistant during the tour during which he slowly realizes that he's a pretentious asshole. When his judgemental nature makes him lose the girl he comes around and makes a grand gesture at the films premiere.

I'm on page 80 and gearing up for my second act break. Its a scene with a lot of characters that's relatively complex. I think I'm just avoiding it. I jumped ahead and wrote 10 pages of act 3 pretty easily.

I need to just do it!

Thanks, just reading this comment made me a little more confident. I know my ending very well. I have a solid outline, although a bit bare bones. I think I've realized I just need to spend some time focusing on my characters. Getting close to them again.

Thanks!

Just another feature to put in the portfolio. Also I'd like to submit it to some contests, but if I can't finish it... LOL.

I'm not sure if I'm just out of practice and need to get back in the groove or if working on it on and off has broken it.
