    Priya, it took you five years to piss off Jeff Lowell?

      Nah. I think it was like three minutes.

      It took me five years to take him up on his offer to read me and give me notes. If he hadn't offered back then, no way would I have asked him now.

        I'm sure Priya deserved her recommendation. I don't think Lowell goes around bothering his managers with shitty scripts. He said very clearly he thought it was GREAT.

        I don't know what you mean by the bold faced stuff. Where'd you get the idea that I'm counting on anyone to "launch my career"?

        God help me if I counted on anything other than a great fucking script.
        I got the idea -- actually, impression is more precise -- from your posts in this thread. Especially the one where you wanted to know if any of Scott's students turned pro as a "direct result" of his classes.

        If I misunderstood, 'scusa.

          You're welcome. Still, it's the truth. And it doesn't mean we're not likely to p1ss each other off down the road again ...

              Priya, didn't you host a writing contest in the "Writing Excersize forum" with the winner getting a script read, and didn't someone get repped from that?

                    I did host. Did they get repped? That's cool!

                    As for making out, well, I'm going to go give my liver a work out, and they say most people are two drinks from making out with sc111.

                    So, maybe?

                    Sc111, I'll drunk sext you when I get home!

                      I cleared a few of the more off-topic posts out of here.

                      Please stay on topic and also wrap this thread up soon. It's covered more than enough territory and opinions at this point for someone to make an informed decision about whether they want to take Scott up on his offer or not.

                      Thanks.
