    ....

    Nobody will ever GIVE you the title of writer. Either you take it or don't. Either you're a writer who does soem other day job to pay bills or you're a (fill in the blank) who writes when he/she can.

    I leave it up to you to decide wish -- I already have.


    Now, if you don't have the chops to back it up, that's another matter entirely.

      Re: script solitictations

      if you want to avoid the low self esteem implications of "aspiring" but don't want self-esteem pummeling the "what show do you write for" question, just say "I'm trying to breaking in to TV writing." Doesn't that sound much more active and noble than "aspiring"? And the slightly criminal implications of "breaking in" will leave them frightened yet strangely excited. Suddenly your the person who isn't afraid to go after his dreams instead of a pathetic dreamer.

      A photog friend of mine uses a more verbose way of dealing with the unanswered questions. He says "I'm a photographer and I make my living working for a brokerage house."
