Thoughts on romantic comedies...good idea to write or don't waste my time?

If you are an aspiring screenwriter who wants desperately to tell the stories that pop in your head at all hours of the day, the FUCKING IGNORE all this nonsense, about what is a sale and what isn't. Jesus. The people talking about this the most, won't be around in two years. Get a bottle. Stand in a lightning storm and pray you capture it. Or just write great stuff. You do the math.

IT'S REEEEAAAAL! http://www.deadline.com/2014/04/screen-gems-acquires-action-spec-padre/

WHOA! This Spec Book just put out by TB is BIG.

Just posted the review in W-I-P for the lowest rated Black List script I've ever seen. (HINT: It's mine).

Ahhh, only 3 days left of the holiday. I need something amazing to read for fun before I go back to reading lots and lots for work. Thoughts?

Nice going, Double-D! http://www.tracking-board.com/a-boy-and-his-tiger-sales/

Can an Admin fix the site so we can post? Thanks.

As someone who regularly questions his sanity and abilities in this uncertain and often agonizing endeavor, I'd like to extend a big, blanket loving thanks to all you TBers who have shared your work here. With so many stories around us, just sheer numbers, it's easy to forget that every screenplay is in some ways evidence of a battle. Proof its author tangled with the abyss, and emerged to write another day. Presenting it to the world then takes a whole other kind of courage.

Favor Request: I just dropped into W-I-P a writing sample I was thinking of using to approach tv lit agents. If you have 10 minutes, can you read and let me know thoughts? Happy to provide feedback on others' projects as well.

CAPTAIN CAREW'S COLOSSAL INTERGALACTIC ALIEN ZOO, a fun family sci-fi adventure that won't make adults cringe. Lots of oppty's for plush furry toys for McDonald's Happy Meals. Still available, have producer interest.

Anyone have any thoughts on the importance of having your own website with credits, loglines, contact info etc.?

I read the amazing SUNFLOWER late last year. Then this Cleveland 10-year kidnapping stuff pops up. Life really is stranger than fiction...
