Well, that was nice. Now - onwards!

Enjoyed yesterday a lot [see previous posts below for the reasons why]. Now it's time to get on with some work. One TV drama screenwriting credit is a start, but more than one is much more impressive. So today I'm interviewing someone for a putative new project. I think the following extract from RonShelton's Bull Durham best sums up my attitude to resting on your laurels:

INT. THE DUGOUT

NUKE PUTS ON HIS WARM UP JACKET and sits down next to Crash,
who's taking off his gear, readying to hit.

NUKE
I was great, eh?

CRASH
Your fastball was up and your
curveball was hanging--in the
Show they woulda ripped you.

NUKE
Can't you let me enjoy the moment?

CRASH
The moment's over.

wow. greatest episode of the show I've seen yet!! you have serious writing talent. I can't believe a person of your skillset is content with a tv credit to this drama!

and in my opinion, get started on that feature RIGHT AWAY. that will be your way into the big-time, I think.
