Wrote and registered a treatment today. A dark comedy about faith and redemption. One of the things brought up in the WB seminar was that genre writers were getting hired based on their original work. Of the 970 scripts submitted, 13 were Supernatural scripts.
This is pertinent because of the 30 or so in the room, the majority of the people in there were comedy writers. Chris mentioned one of the scripts he remembered was as a "Supernatural script having great dialogue and character development, but weak monster of the week."
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that was my script. I wish that I'd put my hand up and said. "I think that's mine."
I realized the other day that I tend to regret things that I don't do more than I regret things that I do do.
Julie and I saw 'The haunting of Molly Hartley'. It comforted both of us to know that if this crap could get made, we could get produced.

And we'll never get that 90 minutes of our lives back ;)
Really, if not the film, I at least enjoyed our banter on it sorting out why it didn't work.
The banter is one of my favorite parts! And we are so much better writers than what they produced.
