You're guaranteed to be lucky several times in your life-it's what you
do with it. Young writers spend all their time worrying, in a way that
David Gerrold did not and I did not. How do they get to meet the right
people? How do they get to the right parties? If only someone would
read my script... Forget all that. All these things are easy and will
happen. The way you get your script to the right people is that you put
it in an envelope. It's fucking easy. The difficult bit is writing
something that is so good people will take a punt on a brand new
writer. That's it-you have to write an absolutely terrific
script.
