I was just curious if any of you make a living out of script writing. Even if it's just money you've made for optioning a script. Am guessing some of you do?
Do any BCGers make a living out of writing?

Hi Morrace, you're back!!!!
I do sort of, if you can call it a living, except I get paid so little the German social system backs me up, they call it job experience or something like that, just an excuse to pay peanuts and have the tax payer pick up the rest of the 'wage'.

Which is rather ironic as I often have to scrape my bottom.

Isn't this in the wrong section?
was unsure what section to put it in. don't really think it matters too much. Would be interested to hear more details about how you make a living from writing.
