Screen writing. Wow. The hardest writing of all, the most collaborative.

You write a script. Someone has to option and produce it. Money has to be raised. You need a director, actors, actresses and an entire army of technicians. Finally, your fate comes down to an editor. Along the way, so many fingers have touched your script that you might not even recognize it.

It takes courage to jump into something like that. And you have to live in LA. Best of luck.

I will now make a confession. I am a huge fan of lame shark movies. I have seen them all: the bad, the worse, and the dreadful. If only I had been the guy in the valley who thought: shark, tornados… Sharknado!

So if you ever want a few ideas for really bad shark movies, let me know. I’ve got some horrible ones. :)

And thank you for your kind words.
