Just For Fun

http://www.queryletters.blogspot.com

Since I've been back in LA, I've noticed an interesting phenomenon. Lots of people I talk to seem to be writers. And everytime someone says they are a writer, and I ask what they write, they say, "I'm a screenwriter" or "I write for TV." (In the Bay Area, everyone wrote short stories, magazine articles, or novels. An intriguing dichotomy indeed, and yet more proof that California really IS two different states masquerading as one.)

Of course, with so much competition in "the industry", it's tough to make it big as a writer here in the land of the silver screen. This fact is doubly proven by the blog site posted above, which I highly recommend to anyone who is need of a good laugh. It features actual query letter pitches by aspiring screenwriters. I laughed out loud when I read the three most recent posts.

Enjoy, and have a happy Friday!
