Re: Trackinb Contest
I'm already repped and working, thanks.
The focus on contests is disproportionate to the number of writers for whom this has been a springboard.
If you survey WGA members, I'm sure you'll find that only a very small number of them attribute their success to a contest win. So, your focus on contests should realistically also be very small. That's what I'm trying to get at here.
But the focus here is all consuming. It's warped. It's seen as the only way to get read, but that's not true to reality. Maybe for foreigners there could be an element of truth, that would have to be a seperate survey.
The viral aspect is most likely only serving as a distraction, or another obstacle, for a lot of new writers.
