Re: re
Hey Cleo,
I saw David Mamet speak a while back, and one of the [many] things he kept harping on, was never to throw any work away. He advised each and everyone of us to go back through our "trash" and find something new and exciting about it. I thought it interesting advice. I've always had a soft spot for my very first script.
But because of what I've read here, I had always thought that my first script was a throwaway, so I, uh, threw it away (figuratively speaking).
Now, between a very encouraging thread somewhere in this forum, and David Mamet, I might well pull out that old script and give her another go!
At the same time, I can see not wanting to look back (hi Sooner!), but I'm one of those people that has a garage sale, but barely has anything in it, since the idea of the garage sale was great, but the actual getting rid of things made my heart palpitate a little too long.
