I’ve been in Los Angeles for almost one year. \u00a0To cliche myself to death, “boy, time really flies”. \u00a0Things I knew would happen have, such as; I spend so much time with my “day job” to make the rent I have lost time to write. It’s all my fault really. I can make time but my brain gets exhausted when the creative side must spend it on web design rather than writing.<\/p>\n

The agency that had my script FINALLY sent it on to the production company and big surprise the production company said: “no, not for us”. It took a full year and a half for the agency to push that through and that’s because they lost sight of me due to their high overturn of assistants. If you’re ever wondering why Hollywood churns out the same old crap, it’s because new writers starve to death in the corridor waiting to be read. \u00a0Needless to say, I’m kind of bitter but not surprised about the process. We’re not allowing anyone hold on to a script that long ever again. \u00a0I’d name names but for now I’ll just rage quietly at my desk and throw darts at the agency’s logo.<\/p>\n

On the upside, an impending interview is on the horizon. I’m not hopping on one stone hoping to overturn it, however I am excited about it. \u00a0More later as it develops.<\/p>\n

Also, I had the opportunity to move from the basic hamster cage to the deluxe model downstairs which now includes a kitchen. If only I had some large metal devices to cook food with so I could use that big blocky thing with instant fire taking up space across from the sink.<\/p>\n
