This is my kind of Monday.
March hasn't been especially wonderful for us, but today? Today makes up for a lot.
I did a lot of reading over the weekend. One of the books I picked up was my 2014
Writer’s Market. I happened to look over
the cover more closely than before (everything other than the title is just
marketing, after all) and noticed a familiar name. It wasn't mine, but it was someone that I interact
with on a regular basis. At the
Blackboard. You know, the online screenwriting
community that I talk about.
When I started this blog I was alone as a writer. Almost immediately I met a few people in my
social circles who also wrote – but I had no idea before because we all kept it
secret. When I started this blog I
thought I would always be alone as a writer, even when my writing was no longer
rejected. But that isn't true. The internet has changed writing from what it
was in 1990 and we don't have to be hermits or communists.
I’m not alone. You’re
not alone. Even better than that, our
community is populated by professionals that are not only willing to help, but
admit to their own doubts and excitements.
I’m sending story to Glimmer Train today. Wish me luck.
