Save The Cat! Strikes Back: More Trouble For... - Plot & Excerpts
Strikes Back INTRODUCTION:OH, YOU'RE INTROUBLE NOW! Let's face it, if you have chosen a career as a screenwriter, you're asking for a certain amount of pain. A hint of this happens right up front. No matter where you come from, what your good intentions are, or how talented you may be, when you even tell someone about the screenplay you're working on, you will invariably get looks. Just saying “I'm a screenwriter” begs for an “Oh yeah?!” And the question we all hate: “Is there anything you've written I might have seen?” The implication here is that if you were any good at this, you would already have something sold and made and playing at the Cineplex. And no, telling Aunt Fern about your YouTube short, or the option by the producer who almost had something premiere at a film festival near Sundance two years ago, is not enough. And that hurts. If you're like the rest of us who have picked screenwriting as your profession, you get used to it. You must — because you have to.
