Hi guys, having been getting back into therapy (seriously) over the last few weeks, after an erratic period, I hope everyone is well.
So, had my first meeting a few weeks ago with -------- ------ at Channel - and having done the 3rd draft we are now on our way to getting towards developing the pilot, to be broadcast in next season's Comedy -------- series. One of my producers is ---- ----, which is great, as --- has produced the films ----- -- --- ---- and --- ----. (I think that's enough of that.)
My point is, that I imagine there are a number of writers on here who would love to make specific/boastful/encouraging points about how a newbie can make progress, yet as soon as you get somewhere, inevitably you have to become more circumspect and secretive. (I was completely a newbie, and in some respects still am, only a year or so ago.)
I am now physically terrified of f**king-up deals by talking about any success, because a) I'm a pussy, b) Legally, things actually (I'm not joking) become an issue and c) I'm a pussy.
What I'm trying to say is that I now understand why any writer (on here) who is getting somewhere might be less-than-verbose. And to all new writers, good luck. Just remember, there are some really good writers on here (myself? Meh!) and it's a pretty good place to start.
Anyone else with some success wish sometimes they could discuss it further? Or do they (admirably) have far more self-constraint than I?
