Comments on: YOU Will NOT Read My Fucking Script! http://marglish.com/2010/07/28/you-will-not-read-my-fucking-script/ "It's hard to put into words what she puts into words" Mon, 24 Oct 2011 01:30:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Hillary http://marglish.com/2010/07/28/you-will-not-read-my-fucking-script/comment-page-1/#comment-310 Hillary Mon, 02 Aug 2010 01:28:16 +0000 http://marglish.com/?p=260#comment-310 AHHH! Sisterguilt! sisterguilt! I promise I will read your script, which is on my nightstand, really. It is even relatively high up in the pile of crap on my nightstand - higher than the books I bought at the used book shop two months ago, under a library book and a single barrette (I can't find the other one). I think I have a pair of glasses in there somewhere too, and since I can't find my Kindle charger, I suspect it is also hiding in the pile. I've discovered that to read your screenplays I need to A. read them all at once, I can't pick them up and put them down like I can with a novel, I don't know why. and B. be in the mood for science fiction, which isn't my thing normally. but I will read it. I will put it on top of the library book even, which means the library book will probably go overdue, then I will have to explain myself to the head of circulation, who I technically outrank by a lot, but I still feel guilty having overdue library books. I'll read it, for what my comments are worth. Love, Biggest Sister! AHHH! Sisterguilt! sisterguilt! I promise I will read your script, which is on my nightstand, really.

AND I really liked Josh Olson's blog. Substitute the word "songwriter" for "screenwriter" and "song" for "script" and I fit right into Josh's rant - maybe a little less coarse, however. And you can put in "I'm playing at such-and-such writer's nite. Come hear me" and guess what? Most don't show up. (Especially when they say, "I'll try to come". Our worlds aren't so far apart.

But I guess for some people it is like saying "we should do lunch" -- a social pleasantry spoken without real intent. Anyway, I love to read, I love to read new stuff, and as a writer (of a different sort) I hugely appreciate when people read and give feedback on my stuff (it does usually take arm-twisting) so if you're ever looking for someone to read your script, send it my way. I GUARANTEE I will read it. And Gabe can confirm that I only make guarantees I intend to stand behind. :-) P.S. It is an easy guarantee to make because I already know your work is groovy.
