Coward? Perhaps...

This site started out a few months back as an experiment in anonymity. Since then, it's grown to the point that my statcounter now shows the 5,000 hit mark. In the last month, it's averaged 534 unique visitors a day. Most of which don't seem to stay longer than a few seconds, but still, I consider that a minor triumph. Not enough to consider quitting the screenwriting gig and supplement my income through Google AdSense, but it feels nice to see some return visitors, and I hope others get a little bit of entertainment out of this blog.

So...

To those of you who keep emailing me asking:

• Who Am I?
• Am I For Real?
• Why should I trust you?

Or the several, 'colorful' variations there of, allow me to retort.

Who Am I?

A lowly screenwriter doing his best to climb the rungs. As previously mentioned, I've had NO spec sales, and as of today, no credits to my name. For the last year I have been, and continue to be, paid for a variety of assignments and rewrites. So far I've worked for only a few real assholes, and a lot of great people.

I would like that to continue. Working for the great people, that is. Not the assholes.

As such, I don't name names, including myself. My feeling is that there's two sides to every story, and I'm sure that some of the people I've been frustrated with have been just as frustrated with me.

Am I For Real?

Yes.

And I'm doing pretty well, thank you.

Why Should I Trust You?

You shouldn't. I don't know what I'm doing most of the time. I ask others, my reps, or I just feel out the situation and adapt on the fly. I make mistakes. A lot of them. And when I do, I'll be sure to let you know. Likewise, when I figure out something that works for me, I'll let you know as well.

That said, I don't have any advice to give that some of the others who post here wouldn't be just as qualified to answer. If you do have a question, from now on, I'll post it for discussion unless it's something that I have direct experience with and am qualified to answer.
