So what do you do after you check out tonight's Screenwriters Salon, arriving early enough to win that screenplay software? Why, you work on your long-dormant ideas for movie scripts, of course. You know, there's that one that's been rattling around in your brain, where a teenage boy is in love with his cousin, but meanwhile, a giant mole destroys a humble village. Believe us: That's gold, baby! Now all you have to do is get your ideas down, edit compulsively, find an agent, and sell your scripts to a major Hollywood studio...who will repay you for your hard work by watering down your ideas (in order to make them more palatable to the public) until you find them completely unrecognizable.
