It is amazing how we as screenwriters give our power away to others. We try to figure out what to write next buy trying to guess what "They" will buy. We send out our script and are very careful not to follow up too soon because we think we might be bothering "Them." We send out query after query after query to try and get an agent and never hear back. And if we follow up with "Them" and "They" tell us to stop bothering "Them" we apologize. This sounds like a very depressing story and it is so very true. The truth of the matter is that we are in complete control of our lives in every area and as scary as this is to read we know it speaks to the screenwriter in us as well. So instead of trying to figure out what "They" want and if I am bothering "Them," Why don't I spend some time figuring out what I want and come up with a plan to make that happen. Whose life am I living anyway?
