Scary pitching time

Hello fellow writers and readers,

Many of you will know that my time writing is mostly spent in that beautiful program that we call Final Draft, it is my choice of screenwriting software and to my mind the very best and most essential piece of equipment that a screenwriter can have.

Today I finally got around to pitching a script I wrote last year, for those of you not following I took pretty much all of 2011 to concentrate on writing and banned myself from pitching until I had a sufficient library of work... now I have six brand new screenplays that I feel are awesome.

Well a few weeks ago I declared that I was counting down the hours to pitching again but really, really deep down inside I was very scared about pitching again. I didn't want anyone to hate my pitch, tell me that my concept was dull or that my life was being wasted on dreams of being a writer.

Today, February 28 2012 I stepped past the fear and actually pitched again for the first time in over a year and... it felt good! I have a solid script (coverage told me that it was extremely funny) and I have done my research on those pitched, I'll let you know what kind of responses I get but for now I just wanted to let everyone know that I am officially back on the horse!

Write on
