rejection slip
AEI Entertainment was nice enough to email my unsolicited, cold query back with a polite, "no thank you good luck", email. Made my night. I wrote them and others some two weeks ago. I'll take this as a ping of depth, much like when sailors watch a descending anchor chain stop. They're looking at the chain spool but their imagining the anchor touching down unseen fathoms below the surface. It's a release. A landing. A sense of depth. And tonight AEI told me my anchor hit bottom.
Here's hoping. |

Hang in there
Sometimes, I have read, you can get as many as 40 rejections before somebody sees what a gem it is.
It is a wonder Harry Potter got published if you read about it....
It will happen - writers as a profession are more successful that people running businesses, on average (so I read....one day I'll actually have experiences I can share...) |

Ana Nicole
What the hell is Ana Nicole doing in show business? Let's face it she's got a good agent and was in the right place at the right time (while in the process of swallowing more of her valiums). It didn't matter that she sounded like a stroke victim (no offesive). What matters is her double DD's, that look like two baldheaded midgets laying on her chest. Okay enough of Nicole.
I've been bold enough to ask someone, what is it about my script that you didn't like. Was it my dialog, was it my story line, blah, blah, blah. I know that feeling of being rejected. It's like I get the letter, I turn around quickly to make sure no one is watching me read it and than I place it on the floor and dance the cha cha over it! Well not really I place it in a binder. Why because evetunally when I get my due day, I'll get back to those MF's and say thanks for making me stronger.
You'll get there Robert, just believe in your project. I met this guy that I was working with who actually is a salesman as well, well let me tell you that his story wasn't so great, but he believed it in it enough to have someone back him up.
Hmm that's a concept Robert, go speak to a sales manager in a retail store and asked them how they master their BULL SH*T.
Keep the faith and hey I've got grandma's teeth in my back pocket. LOL- JAY |
