Introduce Yourself : Coronacoaster, we've been here before. by Wendy Jones

Wendy Jones Good luck!!! Five fingers crossed and enjoy the Sunday- Funday!

yes... always improving -- my first attempts at screenwriting were horrible... notes and feedback painful to swallow, ego shattered -- last week I made it to the Top 3 of the Big Break contest in my category (comedy) out of 13,000 submissions altogether

I feel you, Wendy! But trust me, it's a passing phase. Gotta believe in the work you do and then release it to the wild!

Hahahaha! It's like you're in my brain. You're definitely not alone on this rollercoaster. I'm right beside you, enjoying and loathing the process right along with you. I've just submitted my first completed screenplay to 6, or so, festivals and though I've gotten some great feedback from others on it, I want to withdraw from every one of them - thinking I'll never be good enough. Keep going! You'll get there!

This business is so exciting yet so terrifying all at once, right? I feel you! Good luck. I'm sure you're going to smash it!

I totally feel you Wendy! Thats weirdly exactly what I am feeling right now, but keep pushing!

Thanks, guys. Fingers crossed. And excellent news, @Boris Coll

All the best, Wendy! You can and are doing it

Why a growth mindset is so important for longevity. Stick with it. We all start somewhere, even the "pros" have a hard time getting their scripts sold and produced. Plus notes are an opportunity to make your work even better. I need to take your lead and submit to more festivals...it is also waaay cheaper than attempting to make the movie before submitting.
