Re: Had my first meeting with a manager...
My gut reaction: this manager thought you have writing chops, but he wasn't particularly into script. Could be any of a number of reasons. Doesn't think it's what the market is shopping for right now, not along the genre/budget where he has the most connections, etc. He's not super concerned about giving you notes, because he doesn't think this is the script you should go out with.
So basically now the manager wants to help guide you on your next project so it's something more along those lines. I'd say listen to what he says about the next script and see if that's something you're interested in writing. You can still keep hunting around for a different manager, but it's not like you're going to stop writing anyway.
