I mentioned the other day that I'd received some kind words regarding the blog from an old friend who happens to be a working screenwriter. Our history (briefly) is that he's always been encouraging and I've always been stupid not to wallow in said encouragement, there was always a new job or a job search or whatever and I never let myself take his word that I have something to offer.
At the end of his e-mail, he mentioned a professional acquaintance of his is looking for a NY-based writer for a project she's looking to get rolling. Very little money, so someone with a larger standing would most likely disregard the prospect, but he thought I might want to talk to her. Since my completed scripts are somewhat genre-based (one more so than the other) and the project is a character-driven drama, I took a chance and sent her the first twenty pages of Mouse to look over as a sample. Since it's a sample and I thought it's pretty tight, I have no problem sending incomplete work. I hope to talk with her soon to see what she's looking for and if I fit the bill.
Yeah, I think it's pretty cool, no matter the outcome.
