Congratulations, @Jason Lawson!

Good luck! I was a finalist there, too, a few years back. And it got me nowhere.
Good luck
Hi folks, I'm new here, so far I like what I see. I have signed 4 book deals with smaller publishers, and have developed 2 screenplays for producers. My question is; How do you feel about agents? I don't have one, should I and how hard is to land one? Any leads?
There is no one way to get an agent. It is difficult to land a good agent, but it's not impossible. I'd submit work to screenplay contests, attend film festivals and have plenty of scripts and busines...
Expand commentThere is no one way to get an agent. It is difficult to land a good agent, but it's not impossible. I'd submit work to screenplay contests, attend film festivals and have plenty of scripts and business cards with you to pass around. You can also submit to agencies. The key is to keep writing and keep getting feedback on your work. Good luck!
For those who did earn something (anything!) by screenwriting, what did you do with your first earnings? Most of mine went into the bank but I did treat myself to a MacBook and a Dyson vacuum I'd had my eye on! Oh and my husband wasn't sure what to think of my relatively new chosen career (I only st...
Expand postFor those who did earn something (anything!) by screenwriting, what did you do with your first earnings? Most of mine went into the bank but I did treat myself to a MacBook and a Dyson vacuum I'd had my eye on! Oh and my husband wasn't sure what to think of my relatively new chosen career (I only started in 2009 and got paid early 2012) until he was looking at the paper and saw his fave team, the Mets were playing up in Toronto. "What a shame we can't go..." I reminded him of the check we just put in the bank... So after the family trip overnight in in Canada he was a little more into my work, haha. If you have not earned yet, what would you like to treat yourself to?
Bought one very cool motorcycle
I got $500 for a 5 page short. I have no idea what I spent it on though... Since I don't remember, it was probably nothing useful, lol.
loans :(
Paid for my wedding.

I find more people call them self screenwriters without any qualifications. I am curious what would qualify some of these people as screenwriters. I didn't start calling myself a screenwriter until I won my first award and writing for a few professional groups in LA. What's your story?

Expand commentWe cannot survive by our script writing so we choose a rich husband or lover,we work in another profession from 8 to 4,we know that writing is a drug as you said Laurence so beautifully and we pray that our creation will be recognized some day even postmortem and a beautiful book or film will come out of it.This is exactly what an artist do and an artistic creation of all sort is a must for the artist whatever the public thinks of it. IF THE ARTIST IS DISCOVERED BEFORE HE IS DEAD, GREAT.if not it's a pity Continue to paint, sculpt,draw,write otherwise you'll die inside yourself. writing is not a drug which kills but a drug which make you survive beautifully.
While I'm waiting for my brilliance to be discovered I unload trucks. Most people would have given up by now, but quitting would empty my life.
Rich lover? Where do I sign up for that program?
No chance I have already a rich husband and could not decently write and have such active sexual life.I am also 73 and feel quite old at this time of my life. I have missed you dear.sorry.
Philip: I have not seen the Milius documentary on Netflix. I haven't seen anything on Netflix. Don't have an account. But I will attempt to search it out and take a look. John was (and is) one of a kind.

Hi, @Jason Lawson. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know I moved your post from the Producing Lounge to the Anything Goes Lounge because it’s promoting an outside contest. Let me know if you have any questions. Congratulations again on being a Finalist!
