Read an interesting treatise on the way home from Prudhoe Bay, called Tales from the Script. It is a compilation of interviews of successful screenwriters. And according to Tales, screenwriters are the original red-headed stepchildren of the Entertainment Industry. There were common threads in all of the interviews, namely:
- It's tough to get a screenplay turned into a movie, really tough (really? Gosh!);
- Dumb luck and coincidence are a screenwriter's best friends; and
- It's possible to be luckier if you have faith in yourself.
Reminds me of a John Wayne adage I read once:
Life is hard.
But it's harder if you're stupid.
When I get my video back from the studio, faithful reader, I'll post it on my blog.
