Always Anti-fascist!

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

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.

Thanks, Burrell! That's actually kind of cheering me! I've gone from totally emo to glum.
