Worst Case Scenario

I've realized (well, I knew this before, but I put it out of my mind) that I think very negatively. I always think the worst will happen, instead of thinking positive. I need to reprogram my thinking. It's hard though. What's that saying about a leopard's spots? A leopard will never change its spots, or something. Anyway, I'm trying. At least I recognize the problem. Now just need to nip it in the butt.

So I picked up "Creative Screenwriting" tonight, and of course, there's this lovely article about the state of the spec script market. Needless to say, it's rather dismal. However, they did say a good spec could get one meetings, which could lead to assignment work. All the more reason to be in LA. Cannot wait to be in sunny, tropical weather!

As of tonight, still waiting to hear back from the manager about calling that prodco for my horror/thriller. Why hasn't he replied yet? Oy. Fired off another query by email to a prodco for my romcom. Still waiting to hear back from my co-writer about the actresses' managers. I give 'em a simple task and he doesn't even follow through on it. Well, okay, I should give 'em some slack. His aunt recently passed away and he's trying to take charge of her estate because she had no will and there's no money to bury her, unless they can get their hands on her estate. Last I heard the poor thing was still at the morgue!

Okay, so I think the "fog" is starting to lift. I'm feeling a little better every day. I just need to think positive thoughts. Good things are on the horizon. I can feel the good vibrations.
