TAKE TWO
“How do I sell my story to Hollywood?” My inbox consistently pings with that question. And I wish there was a quick response I could shoot off, something like: “Hey, just do this one super-duper-special magic trick and you’re in!”
Alas, the magic of Hollywood does not extend to writers.
I’ve lost count of the number of rejections bestowed upon my work. Every professional screenwriter has felt like roadkill at some point, a stampede of industry executives having barreled over our scripts. Welcome to Tinseltown.
While that might sound grim, it doesn’t mean you can’t overcome those obstacles. You just need to understand them first.
Oh, wow! I just realized: I know that super-duper-special magic trick. Ready? Because to succeed, you have to want it more than you’ve ever wanted anything.
