Great News on my Script!

[sparrow]

So, as some of you know, I have been trying to get back into my previous life as a screenwriter, after dropping out for a number of years due to burnout and depression. Well I sent a draft of my latest script to an executive producer I used to work with, at Disney (he's not with them anymore either) and he *loved* it! He sent me a bunch of notes (they always have notes) and has requested that I make some changes. I don't know what is going to happen beyond that, and I also know that the chances are selling a spec script are one in a million, but the mere fact that I got over my own fear to send it to this guy, and that he loved it even though I haven't written a script in a few years, is huge to me!!

Just wanted to share my positive news. :7

You must be feeling fabulous! Savour it, you deserve it.

I write poetry and stories but have never been brave enough to share with more than my close friends and family, submitting would feel like standing naked in front of a crowd. You are inspring Sparrow!
