It's not just a man's world....early AM vent

At the present moment I'm feeling like it's a man's world.  Why?  Well the screen writing industry gender composite is mostly men. White men at that.  Nothing against white men, but they just seem to get all the breaks.  Even if their work is crappy.

The industry being crowded with me is clearly evident on AS.  I see it in the forums, the number of scripts being submitted by men and well just general knowledge that the writing industry is filled with men. And it's not that they are better writers, it's just that they are men. And men help other men succeed. 

Side thought: Maybe there are more women who write novels.  I don't know, but just but this image in your mind: 

1. Female 2.Black (African American for my PC folks) 3. Live in Maryland.

I have three strikes riding against me.  I am keeping the faith.  Divine Order.  I will be successful.  I want to change my career so bad now, it's just driving me crazy. I also could be going about this the wrong way.  I think I write movies for EVERYONE to enjoy, not just the black people.  And perhaps I've been dropped in the lot with the other black people in the industry trying to make it just because I'm black. Maybe I need to think more out of the box on this.  I don't want to be stereotyped like a Tyler Perry who only really has one audience.  I want it to be where the audience is wide and far ranging.  Shifting the paradigm like the internet did for socializing. 

Okay...I feel better now that I've let that out! lol 

In the end, the overall goal is to be optioned and produced - to get credits and change my current employment status. 

I have a new quote now. DREAMS DON'T SLEEP! Where did I get that from?  Awwww c'mon son! I'm a writer...it came from me! lol ;-)

Be Free....

P.S. Don't go to sleep, cuz your dreams won't!
