OK, I just... I have to ask... WHY do so many writers put the INCORRECT EMAIL address on their pitches and screenplays? How do you not know your own email? How am I supposed to send your reports and feedback? Via smoke signal? Should I etch it out on a stone tablet and mail it to you? How is an executive supposed to get in touch with you if the information on your documents are wrong? How is this NOT the first thing you check for correctness? This is part and parcel with grammar and spelling. Why should an executive have confidence in your writing ability if you can't even get basic grammar, spelling, and contact information right? The amount of emails I receive from "writers" complaining that (and this is a direct quote from an email): "Executives are to concerned with making sure youre t's are crossed and i's are dotted." NO DUH. YOU'RE A WRITER! YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO WRITE, FOOL! breathe breathe OK... we're OK. twitch

My thoughts exactly, Erik. While we are all human and it's to be expected that the occasional error might slip through, there are some basic things writers need to be hyper-aware of. Like making sure to provide a correct email addy for one!! Come on, people!!! :-p

There are sooo many details to get right, sometimes a few of them just slip through the cracks. They're probably more frustrated at themselves than you are with them.
I vote for smoke signals, lmao.

I'd prefer a stone tablet mailed via Pony Express. They have better flat rates than the Postal Service.
Vent young man, vent! Don't hold that shit in ever.
