You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Chapters 1-34 are 78k so that would make it very viable with a strengthened Savin storyline. I could land that at 100k. I may have to go big.

My offer is still open as well. I just can't be quick at the moment.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Ok, being that the show is so dudely, it couldn't hurt to have some guys read it...insent, shortly. Thanks. (I did decide to pay for the notes...I'll get it back if I ever write the next Big Fat Greek Bitch, right?)

Because books.

Who did you pay, erika? Because if it's not an editor or someone with a lot of actual publishing experience, I really wouldn't pay for that next time around.

He says that he used to read scripts for a studio...he has a screenwriting website...I know, any asshole can have a website, I have one too, but people actually read his. Ah, well, it was the old man's money...we'll see how good his feedback is.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Five more rejection letters today. Sam is too sweet, too earnest, too weak, has no flair, and basically I suck.

I hate the hurty parts.

I'm so sorry, Allyson.

Sorry Allyson. You don't suck it's a tough business.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Allyson, I'm sorry. You don't suck, it's the process that sucks. I know it has to be this way, but it's hard to gird yourself for rejection.

And just so's you know, you are still my hero and I STILL aspire to have the kind of guts you have to pursue writing.
