Re: Blacklist Experience #1239932
I skimmed and read most of the posts in this thread. (I did not realize that Done Deal Pro was still here until recently.)
I want to make one laudatory comment, which I think is well-deserved. Throughout this never-ending controversy, one of the strongest voices of wisdom has been that of Cyfress. I think that he has offered some remarkable insights on the whole subject of screenwriting. A perfect example is his statement that a screenplay remains unsold simply because it is not good enough. Its failure does not have anything to do with the fact that the writer lives in Illinois, or wherever.
The level of frustration that I find here is very high. People have unreasonable expectations. When you cut through all the jibber-jabbering excuses and complaints, the underlying message is: I paid my money, now give me my screenwriting success.
I think it might be good if people would share more of their work here on the board - as used to be the case! - instead of trying for the big score on the Black List. People here could offer some help by telling you that something is working or not, and why. I have seen that done here in the past. Maybe it is worth thinking about.
