And even when a writer does sell a pitch, the executives who buy it likely won’t be around long enough to actually produce the script, thus rendering it no different from a spec (minus the small upfront fee). It’s enough to make a writer want to be a producer. Free money! Just ask Rob.

Sharpen my pencils -
Pay that Internet ISP fee because everyone knows if the internet goes down the computer doesn't work - it is like there is no energy - I mean if the power goes out we can light kerosene Lamps - candles or even a flashlight - when the internet suffers we all do --
oh crap I am writing fro free - o no - it is worse than that I paid to belong - a one year subscription - so it is not for free at all - I paid already --
Please send your remittance to either my cell number or email - American $$ Appreciated - I have Square -
