After dreaming about it for years and years, I have finally decided to join the ranks of the "unemployed screenwriter." Your blog looks like an excellent resource for novice writers (i.e. me) and I look forward to digging deeper into your site.

But I still like hanging around you screenwriters, because you're the only writers I know. : )  And I do love the movies. I think Jeff's idea is a great one, if and only if you write film and not television. If you're 100% sure you're never going to want to write for TV, by all means, cut the cable and luxuriate in all that extra focus and free time. I wish I could do that, but I don't have the resolve.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('73','kristen'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('73','kristen','David,\r\n\r\nI think my bracelet would say \"poetry &amp; fiction\".
