    Seriously, and here's my plea to let it go on even longer. I know I sound like a kid who doesn't want to go to bed, but this is just too good.

          Bring your best work... absolute best screenplay or original TV Pilot. Pitch it to me and I'll read the first 10 pages in front of you.

          The first step is admitting there is a problem, and that it is your problem not everyone else's. Anything else is just making things worse...

          But making things very amusing.

            Oop..... here's another unknown, feckless wannabee writer.

            Hey Zaz.... think you can maybe arrange a face-to-face with Bill? He's been trying ever so hard of late. He's read Robert McKee and everything!



            PS. I smell mods!!! 5..... 4......3.......2.........

              I think maybe Zazz has got the point, so backing off would be good.

                Hey Mariot and JeffLowell,

                Nice to meet you.

                PM you're info and I'll set up a face to face at my office (it's on a nice studio lot with friendly people). Bring as many stones as you want.

                Bring your best work... absolute best screenplay or original TV Pilot. Pitch it to me and I'll read the first 10 pages in front of you. My assistants (who one of which was a studio ops gal and the other is a good writer trying to break in) will bring you some nice food and you can watch my poker face while I read. Over my head you'll see a Clio, and Emmy and my personal favorite award - the Boys and Girls Club of Burbank award for charity and service...

                If I like your work, I'll give it to the big boss down the hall and the partners will all have a vote.... no gags no gimmicks no bs

                No shilling. Just truth.
                Maybe Jeff and I should exchange scripts first to make sure we're worthy of your time.

                Jeff, if you're interested, please pm me.

                      Nic, you are kidding right? Zaz did not get the point, Zaz just offered to help Jeff break in in Hollywood. This is better than TV. Seriously.

                        25 pages in 2.5 days.

                        Let's get back on topic.

                        So, if I submitted my latest tome, "A Fine Day for a Beheading", would the contest reader even turn the cover page?

                          I think the lesson we've learned is to simply avoid submitting cover pages. Include your title and contact info on page two, so that they can judge your writing BEFORE your title page.

                            It beats the holy bejesus outta TV.
