I got my first paid writing gig!!! Of course, it's for a novelty company coming up with funny slogans, but hell, it's MONEY and it's for WRITING!

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

Looking for recommendations for good "chase" flicks. Any suggestions?

Exciting news! Got a gig doing a rewrite for a film already in the pipeline that has some serious potential but they're asking if I have an agent...which I don't. Any suggestions from any of my already repped friends?

Just saw Looper. Kicking myself it was in my den on the couch and not in the theater, but better late than never!

Question for the team...want to write a script based on a book that I HATE...which is why I want to write the script and change everything and make it better than it was before. IF I change it enough and make it a totally new story, how do I go about making sure I'm safe? The book is more of an inspiration than a true adaptation...suggestions?

Ideas can't be copyrighted only the execution of some of the key components. ie dialogue, specific character/story beats etc. If you like the premise of the book but want to turn it on its head, then you could be okay. BUt if you intend to use the author's characters or unique story structure in a way that they are still recognisable, I'd say choose another project to spec. BTW Hollywood producers buy scripts and books that "they hate" all year round.

I hate the book because it's such an interesting idea but the author got about 755 of the way through and did a great job and then phoned in the climax and resolution. The core elements are interesting but based enough on historical fact that I can play fast and loose with her characters without compromising the idea behind it. I guess I'll just finish it and then see what I think.

Finally made it into the WGA and looking for any advice or suggestions from other members...any words of wisdom to pass on? What events should I go to?! What do you wish you had known about when you got in? Thank you!

General question for the entire group...have a pilot script and a feature film I'm planning on starting and want to know which one you think would be the best one to start with? What works the best as far as querying agents, a feature or a pilot?

Hang on...the TB is down for 16 days??? What is going on?

Okay, have a screenwriting competition coming up and have to have an entirely original script ready to mail out on the 12th. So far I have the idea and 50% of the outline finished. If i do 12 pages a day that leaves me with 1 day to panic. Think I can do it?

Question: Anyone have a list of managers that are taking on new clients? Just wrapped up production on my first feature film and I'd love to have someone who can guide me on my next step.

Got another question for my amazing TB friends. I have a screenplay that was produced just last year but still no agent or manager. I want to start sending out query letters and was wondering, do I have to use a new spec script or can I send out the script that was produced?

I need a logline for my life. And a laugh track.

So apparently my best writing has been done on Imgur. One comment...1500 likes in 24 hours. Now if only I'd get that sort of love with my scripts...

The difference between the sentences "I got staph" and "I got staffed" is just 4 letters and twenty awkward minutes of explaining the difference on the phone to my parents.

Looking for honest feedback on my resume. Anyone game to take a look and help me out? I'm applying for jobs and it's been like throwing paper airplanes into the pit of despair. I send them out, never hear back...maybe it's my resume?

Got another writing gig! Of course it has nothing to do with film..I've been hired to extract test questions from medical textbooks for graduate level students. Todays topic: PLETHYSMOGRAPHY – UPPER AND LOWER EXTREMITIES. Way too much fun for one girl to have. ON a side note, I'm looking for work if anyone's hiring!!!
