The INDUSTRY is a very tough nut to crack.

Most successful writers have been local, active for decades.

The most successful one I know began as a child actor about age 12 (perhaps age 5) ....it took three positive money procuring scripts (age 40+) before he was permitted to direct.

Scripts are a dime a dozen. They sit like coffe-table-stacks in the dens of bored consultants.

Just like a folk-performer....you need to "hook" the audience in the first three chords.

Sincerely,
