mine's just got a big pair of y fronts on the front with my name and number and my agent's details on the back.

They'd be more impressive with real blood.

Especially if they were attatched to a vain, via a piece of tube. You could just pull one off and hand it out. Reading that back that just sounds wrong.

Oh you know, dogged by the dark thoughts of depression, plagued by arrows of anxiety and bit of a sore back. So, not too bad thanks.

You want to move out of Reading. Some bloke jumped off the Oracle centre yesterday.

Wouldn't that mean you'd need new cards every time you get another job? Writer of wrongs is excellent.
Well, the plan was to get a small number of cards made and get new ones every six months or something. Let's face it, if I ended up giving ten cards to industry people in that time I'd consider myself fortunate.

I attach a business card to every new script I send off, they are useful tools particularly if you're at a festival or something.
Mind you, that's probably more use as a film writer than a sitcom writer.
One piece of advice I wish I'd been given before printing mine was: leave the back blank.
Some people get handed so many business cards, particularly at networking events, they can't remember who gave them what afterwards. If the back's blank you can jot down something to remind them, like the name of the project you discussed or the place where you met 'guy in McDonalds!' or a basic descrition. 'Blonde with big tits' seems to work best.
