Default Every year, 65 thousand aspiring screenwriters make there way into Los Angeles

Did you know that 65 thousand aspiring screenwriters hit
the street of Los Angeles every year.

Why do they do it?

Why do you want to sell your screenplay?

Do you have a Lindsay Lohan or River Phoenix or Amy Winehouse complex?

Are most screenwriters sensitive artists?

Why why why do you love movies?


A movie is just images (which are actually dots) projected on a white screen.

Why are you into screenwriting?

Can't you get job as a Lawyer and make $100,000 per year for the next 68 years of your life?

I'd like to know how you came up with that figure. Do you have an article or something? That seems like a rather large number of people.

Here's another "why" question.

Am I the only person that enjoys Ben's enthusiasm?

It may be out of leftfield; it may be a little random; it may be over the top but, personally, I don't mind it.

p.s. I don't know how to use colons and semicolons.

you never heard of the ignore concept?

you never heard of the ignore button

well I have, lol

i love enemies

Am I that important or exciting?

Why can't people use the ignore button.


hatred from forum and www.cnn.com makes me write more

and market my script even more

thank Population for your kind words

I agree -- we all have enemies and friends.

Stress and frustrations and jealousy -- is part of my business plan to sell my scripts
