On this day 15 years ago, I sold my first #script. I put a hashtag in front of script because I’m not good at Twitter.
Anyway, here’s a long ass thread that probably no one will read about selling that first #screenplay. I did it again. Hope it’s informative or entertaining 🧵
My career has had ups and downs since then, but overall I’ve felt very lucky to be a working writer the last 15 years. Some years were very tough, some were like a dream.
I should warn you, like with many success stories, there’s a fair amount of luck and privilege involved.
