It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving and all through the industry nothing is stirring — not even a mouse!
All bad puns aside, from today till about January 10th — nothing in Hollywood happens. For one thing, all the studios have run out of money. And for another thing, everyone has mentally checked out for vacation so no one wants to be reading scripts.
Where does this leave you?
I tell my clients now is the perfect time to WRITE WRITE WRITE.
Because right after the holidays it is a perfect time to sell your projects! People are rested, relaxed, have money and ready to buy!
And why shouldn’t you have something to sell then instead of starting to write in January and already being behind the curve?
Seriously, when you are stuck at your wife’s/parent’s/friend’s place over the holidays and bored to tears, sneak out and find a quiet room to write. (You can even pretend it is for an important project that is due right after the holiday.) And I am sure the family dynamics that always comes up during the holidays will give you lots of material to write about.
Do yourself a favor and write your heart out over the break so you have something to sell in the new year!
