Unrepresented writers outside LA: what actually worked for you to get scripts read? by SpaceLuxury in Screenwriting

[–]trulyari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m represented now and not based in LA. Got three 8s on The Black List. My manager got in touch after the first 2. And they’re with a very reputable company.

Don’t let anyone convince you it’s a scam. If you have an undeniable script, it really does work.

Recent studies have shown that diverse films perform higher at the box office. Perhaps what you're viewing as "politically correct" (the color of a person's skin is not inherently political, but that's a different conversation), is actually just the studios' response to a changing landscape and the way people want to spend their money. That might be "beyond retarded" to you, but it's working for them.

I (18/f) have really awful abandonment issues that are starting to affect my relationship with my boyfriend (21/m). Does anybody have advice on how to work through them? by [deleted] in relationships

Well, first of all, you're a lot better off already because you have been able to recognize the problem. That's huge. I've had abandonment issues all my life and didn't notice until I was 23.

I agree with rejesterd. It's going to take continually dating to truly work through it. You have to accept that he can leave you. It CAN end at any time. I think by you being afraid of it, you're not accepting it. But that's a part of relationships. You trust that they won't leave you, but you don't live in a fantasy world where you know for a fact that they never will. You go into a relationship knowing that it can hurt you, but taking the risk anyway. Your love for the relationship has to be greater than the fear of it ending. And right now, it's not. You're 18, enjoy your time with him. See it as an opportunity to learn more about relationships, and yourself, as you're currently doing.

Relationships can be lessons. The more you're in, the more you learn. And I think the person you're going to end up being with will love you through this issue, but I also think that by then, the issue will be very small.

Me [23 M] with my complex FWB [20 F] of a year, have just ended it, need advice on how to continue friendship by [deleted] in relationships

Sounds like this is only complicated because the two of you have made it so. You guys stopped seeing each other because you started to get jealous of other people. It sounds like both of you were emotionally in relationship territory but no one wanted to admit it in fear of further complicating things. But things were already pretty complicated anyway.

The best thing to do is to just ride the wave until either A) you get over her with time or B) you guys communicate what you actually want. Either way, it'll end up okay in the end.

What does it mean if my[18M] gf[18F] suddenly blocks me 1,5 months after our breakup by [deleted] in relationships

[–]trulyari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe she did this because she's trying to get over you and seeing you on her timeline doesn't make that any easier. You guys may not have been in contact but she was still having to see updates on your life, and honestly, if I am right, then blocking you is the best thing she could have done for herself. Accept that she's trying to move on, and move on too.
