Producer Blast Service
Has anyone used Ashley Scott Meyers Producers Blast service? My writing partner and I are thinking about using it but it is $140 with no promise of any results (obvisouly!) Any suggestions on this or any other road to take?! Thanks!!
Oh, and none of them can (or should) promise any results.
I get his free newsletter. It's pretty useful and his website has some good info on writing queries and loglines. I don't know much about his blast service.
Be a little careful with things like that You could wind up in the spam folder or annoy people. It can be very obvious that you used a service. you might be better off signing up on IMDB pro, searchin...

For me a first draft of a short usually takes a week and that's about 15 pages. But if you want to be really good, then take all the time you need.

Expand commentThe reason it takes so long for people to write something is that most people don't have a story. Wait, what!? This is how it happens: they start writing and figuring out things as they write it. Then you meander into never-never land going in circles - it's called "stuck in the Second Act" (Syndrome). Why? Because you don't know how to end it! So this is what you need to do before you pick up your pencil, or start pounding on the keyboard - know exactly "how will the story end". Then work backwards, you'll whip out stories/scripts in weeks. As a corollary, if the ending is mediocre or just run of the mill ho-hum, don't write it - change the ending until it's great, then write it. My opinion only, of course; and YMMV :)

If you have a story and know the characters it will take you two weeks. I just wrote my 65 page TV pilot in eight days. I wrote my first feature film 99 pages in two weeks.
