Late last night, it finally happened. Nathan and I finished Lost Case. Or, at least we are finished writing it… For now.

This is the part where a whole new set of challenges present themselves – namely, how to properly market the script without representation.

We are caught in the “Catch-22″ that afflicts most every unrepresented screenwriter: producers (for the most part) don’t want scripts from unrepresented writers, and agents/managers (for the most part) don’t want writers without a few credits. So what’s a struggling writer to do?

Keep working. That’s what we’re gonna do, at least.

We’ve been lucky enough to make a few industry contacts, and we will be courting them all as best as we can in the coming months.

We are also going to enter a few contests. Having a ‘contest winning screenplay’ surely couldn’t hurt…

And, of course, we are also going to start up the next project!

It’s the start of a new year. And it’s going to be a good one.
