Re: At times this Business sucks the life...
I agree with this philosophy, actually.
I am reluctant to tell people this because they think I am lying, or bragging (or both), but the second script I ever wrote scored me my first agent many years ago.
However, one can also argue it was the right script, for the right person (agent) at the right time. It probably was.
But I echo what Joe is saying about being fearless and believing in yourself when you are starting out.
At the same time, I also think my previous statement about scoring an agent, option or something of this magnitude with the very first script someone ever writes is few and far between, too. It's not a contradiction, but a generalization (the good kind) that applies to a lot of those who aren't lucky enough to have the stars align, and/or who still need to perfect their craft when all is said, and done.
