The Call
Every now and then a call comes in that says "you're hired", this before you know what the hell they're talking about. Okay, more to the point, it's extremely rare. And I got a call like that today. It's for a feature division of a company that does tv-movies and video on demand originals and we'll have to see exactly what they hell they're talking about. But that's a nice call. The genre is R-rated suspence thrillers, there is a book they want adapted and the job is mine if I want it. I may have to take four meetings with myself before I commit just to feel comfortable about it. Nice way to start the week! More on this as it develops.

Yes, it's exciting to be a screenwriter...!
taz: well, the thing of it is, it's incredibly hard work, for many years, with varying degrees of income, that always change, and has no security, and it often takes immense energy to create the work, and then to sell the work is a crap shoot, so when after all that time in you get a response like this, it is nice.
congratulations to have the choice, philip :)
As Monty Python once said:
And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...
