They couldn't even bring themselves to call it by the correct title in the letter.
"Hmmm... They normally say nicer things than this when they write to you," said the Better Half on reading it.
Still, positives to take from this are "confidently written", "sound sense of visual grammar" (Hah! Take that John Patterson and your "screenwriters don't understand the visual medium"!) and "commendable attention to detail". Oh, and "sharp and energetic dialogue".
So, time to pick myself up, dust myself off and get cracking with the new drafts I've been promising myself I'd write. It's all part of life's rich pageant.
Cock.
Definitely take on-board the positives. And the other thing you should be really upbeat about is that you actually got feedback which means they read all your script. Most scripts (75-80%)sent to the Writers Room aren't read beyond the first 10 pages. You're in the top quarter!
ReplyDeleteCheers for that! Think it's going to be the last thing I send into the Writers Room. It's a constant stream of letters back saying "This is lovely. Send us your next thing." until I had this step backwards!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Sitcom Trials, by the way.
