Hopeful TV Writer

[seansshack]

If you don't try you'll never know.

I even sent a feature script (sci-fi) to a comic book company (yesterday). Do I have a hope? I doubt it very much. But if I don't try I'll never know.

But my oldest daughter got a great buzz out of what I was doing and what the story was about. Crazy Daddy trying to be creative....

So keep moving forward and try as much as you can.

Welcome Owen.
Best advise: Read scripts till your eyes bleed. Then do it again. And ask questions.
Pick up a few books on the subject. There is no lack of titles.
Watch shows YOU like and write some episodes. 2-4 different shows will do. Make sure you understand each show format. They each have little differences. And yes, it does matter. 
Make sure that they will knock the socks off an agent. They can't be good. They need to be GREAT!
And then you're in. Sounds pretty simple huh?
I'm busy writing new sitcom specs as we speak. Needed to update.
As was said TV is a tough arena to break into. Everybody is bucking for that shiny staff job and shady parking spot.
Live in L.A? There are a few of us on here who do. Makes life WAY easier if you live here though not impossible.
Lots of luck and welcome again.

Hi, my name is Owen, and I just signed up.

I'm more interested in getting into the TV writer business than the movie business, but I figured that I can still probably learn a lot from a place like this.

I'm 27 and I've been writing for a long time.  THis is my first foray into script writing, but I've had so many movie and TV show idea's over the years, that my twin brother basically said "Go do it!"  So here I am.
