I just signed up today. Luckily, I have a lot of friends, but basically, none that are in the entertainment field or interested in writing or movies to the degree that I am. My little advice to fledgling writers is to write as many screenplays in as many different genres as you can, so if you're lucky enough to sell one, you'll have many more to show other producers or the one who's interested in your script. I came close to selling a screenplay and having one, much to my amazement, considered for a TV series. After many months of rewrites on the first one, and weeks on the second script, it didn't work out. But I was told by the producer's partner at the time "That if you sell this screenplay, they (producers/agents) will want to read everything you've ever written." Definitely, something to think about! But even if you're going through a "dry spell" with your writing- still write, even if it's for free, because most of the time it's going to be. I know this better than anyone. Sad emoji. LOL
