Monster pitch scam

First time on STAGE 32. Thought I better warn/confirm everyone's fears about MONSTER PITCH.

A clever, nefarious, 18-month-long scam, spanning the writers strike, pitching, table reads, hotels, flights and 100s of emails from CRAIG. 

I was out at dinner with my sister last night and she said, 'Nic, why...

Yes it’s about cutting your losses. My biggest thing is the non refundable flight

Thank you for posting this. I too was scam by this which I am very disappointed this happened. I was truly looking forward to this, but then again I kinda felt this was a little sketchy when I saw this in my junk mail. Shame on this man

Stamina?

Interested in hearing from screenwriters who have a full day to devote to the craft - how many hours a day do you actually spend writing? Maybe it's because I'm on "the wrong side of 40" but I find it hard to spend more than 4 hours a day on solid writing.

Interested to hear about other people's output!

Richard Buzzell

Michael - 3-4 scripts a year is pretty good output. Why is it you feel you need to write more than that?

Allen (Talen) Legacy

I write everyday, but how much time varies. It can be a hour or two or a whole day if things are rolling for me.

Pamela Jaye Smith

May the New Year bring all Writers new inspiration, plenty of time to craft it, and lots of Rewards and Recognition. Best to you all!
