Jared, you know the difference between a screenwriter and a pizza? A pizza can feed a small family, a screenwriter can't.

I have a "regular" job to pay the mortgage, write whenever I can, AND live vicariously thru friends in the industry! LOL. So true, though. Receiving pics from set as I type this. Dangling the carrot....damn!
I;m also a book publisher and my wife works.

Dan Guardino, why have I not think of it before? LOL. This is actually a good logline: After failing in breaking into Hollywood, a frustrated screenwriter start to write ransom notes to pay his mortgage.
Buy the book "The Writers Market". Plenty of work out there. If you are willing to work hard at your craft. Definitely beats being a TELEMARKETER at CARNEGIE HALL for 20 years. (Yeech!)
