I know that there is no easy way to answer this, but with each passing day I can't help but look back and think: perhaps I did attempt to market myself/script too early... what seemed like a good idea at the time, having been a decision I deemed to be sufficiently calculated at the time, now seems to have been a bad one...
Though, isn't it difficult to tell if you don't test the water?
How can one tell if they're ready? There will always be something one can do better in their script, in their writing, when should one attempt to contact producers/agents, etc. with word of their script?
I'm a very patient person but can't help but feel that I need to chalk up some of my screenwriting-related regrets to lack of experience - but that's OK - mistakes need to be made, I'm much better now.
On another note... is it wrong to look at one's script and like it? I know it sounds weird, but sometimes liking it too much is synonymous with not being able to see it objectively perhaps... do many of you here have a hard time disliking your work, even months after when looking back on it?
Thoughts?
