Last year, My screenplay 'LUCIDITY' finished top ten percent. Because I feel my current entry, 'DYNAMO' is so much better, it's difficult not to keep my hopes dangerously high. That being said, I'll keep the vodka handy! Keep me posted on your progress and good luck!<BR/><BR/>Dylan<BR/><BR/>PS: I've added your site to my linksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-1154378616498825792006-07-31T14:43:00.000-06:002006-07-31T14:43:00.000-06:00NO!

If I show up and the table is full, I'll just pull up a chair.<BR/><BR/>Think positive!MaryAn Batchellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465966881051431143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-1154252481156987172006-07-30T03:41:00.000-06:002006-07-30T03:41:00.000-06:00Thanks, but I'm also including not winning competi...Thanks, but I'm also including not winning competitions and producers simply saying "no I won't read it!" or ignoring emails in that figure.Lucy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576008511353143019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-1154123680785845872006-07-28T15:54:00.000-06:002006-07-28T15:54:00.000-06:0043 times?

I'm gonna have one tonight cos I've been rejected 43 times this year and it's only freaking july (though I didn't enter Nicholl).<BR/><BR/>The best thing to do I find when rejected is to enter something else IMMEDIATELY. I got rejected this morning by one company and entered a script comp and got another producer to read my script within the hour. Keep yourself in the running, non-stop. Only way I think to keep pessimism at bay.Lucy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576008511353143019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-1154028876065479402006-07-27T13:34:00.000-06:002006-07-27T13:34:00.000-06:00I want to be your mailman... just sayin (smiles)I want to be your mailman... just sayin (smiles)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-1154006336935499472006-07-27T07:18:00.000-06:002006-07-27T07:18:00.000-06:00Alas, no codes. Last year, the reject letters went...Alas, no codes. <BR/><BR/>Last year, the reject letters went out first so if you were one of the first to get yours, it was bad news. But since not all rejects went out at the same time and because of mail delays, etc, late letter arrival was not necessarily a good sign either.<BR/><BR/>But I gotta tell ya, opening a #10 envelope with a gold Oscar on it was very cool although I resisted the urge to give my mailbox an acceptance speech -- especially since I didn't advance. <BR/><BR/>But this year? I'm going getting my hair and nails done and going to the mailbox wearing a black formal and lots of sparkly things --- you know, just in case.MaryAn Batchellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465966881051431143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-1154003184353096932006-07-27T06:26:00.000-06:002006-07-27T06:26:00.000-06:00so they send them out to all entrants? are the env...so they send them out to all entrants? are the envelopes colour coded or stamped so I know in advance I didn't make it, or do I have to take two shots of tequila, brace myself and tear into it with one eye open?
