But I really like Mary - she is a very nice employer. Shoot, even if it doesn't I might at this point. If it does win, I will probably step out of my hole and help her try to get someone big to notice it. The script is now in the second round qualifiers (YEAH!), but I am praying not necessarily that it will win but that it will get produced so she can feel justified in the large amount of money she spent on me. This is actually the easiest way to get noticed- survive a well-known screenplay contest as long as you can. I did not tell Mary to submit the script to a production company, but to a screenplay contest. This would be a very expensive way to get something to bury in your backyard, but hey, who am I to judge. Therefore, if I write a screenplay for someone, they could bury it in their backyard and it would never be produced through no fault of mine. Now, as a ghostwriter, I have no control over what my employers do with their screenplays once I give them to them. Here's the irony - of the few screenplays I have written, I have only tried to get one produced - Mary's screenplay. So the guy who hired me called me up to tell me I didn't know what I was talking about because I hadn't had any scripts produced or accepted.
Yeah, I know I did the self-publishing thing and interrupted it with this, but since blogger screwed up the order of my posts, I wanted to get the rest of the self-publishing together and this post grew too long.
