Re: The Black List from a user perspective
I think the point the other posters is making is this - despite your writing career having no traction - turns out you're a literary virtuoso on some level. He don't like that.
As someone watching this Black List thing from the outside - hearing about it from friends - I think the big wake up call with it is writers having the face the fact that their script has been rated a '5' or a '6' or a '7' - it might be good, but it's not great. And it's not going anywhere. They haven't written a compelling script. And this service isn't going to help them anymore than being a quarter-finalist in some contest would.
Had you not submitted to the Black List, certainly your script would have still found a way in. It just happened faster this way. You didn't have to wait six months for results from the Nicholl, etc.
