I just wanted to put in a good word for Declan and Simon and the Sitcommission - I entered last year by writing my first ever script. I didn't know if I could write, let alone write comedy - but figured I might as well try.
The first script I wrote was genuinely awful - I sent it for feedback and was told, in the nicest possible way, that I needed to re-think it completely.
I took their advice on board and my second effort was much better. A year on, a million re-writes later and things are really moving forward for me and that script - lots of interest and some exciting things on the horizon. I am also starting to write other things besides sitcom.
I doubt I would have had the confidence to believe in myself if it wasn't for their encouragement and guidance.
If anyone is unsure about writing a script and entering - go for it. You have nothing to lose.
