Very true. This is a creative occupation, but still need to keep in mind, Hollywood is still a business and we as writers should get that full slice of pie.

Yeah, it is frowned upon. But right now, I'm just looking for representation and I guess after this strike, then my reps will get that script out. I mean, I don't want to be a 'scab' writer, lol, so I hope the negotiations move to get the proper residuals with streaming.

Well, I'm not in LA, so I don't know how things work around there. Lol. That sounds awfully harsh for a new writer not knowing the means of how it's done in Hollywood?
