    Thinking about leaving the adult industry...

    I've got an unfinished screenplay (or three) that are screaming at me to finish up and shop them around. What should I do?

              Are you still enjoying what you do in adult or are you feeling the need to achieve something different?

                I still love what I do just fine. I'm always wanting to achieve something different though (doesn't everyone)?

                      Well since you put it that way, I'm sure I could think of a reason to stay a bit longer...

                        exactly, everyone wants to achieve more, even if they enjoy what they are doing right now

                          my brother has a few unfinished screenplays also. You should start focusing on finishing them.

                            I feel his pain. The main one I wrote in '91 (it's where I came up with my handle). Added a little bit here and there over the years and now it's gnawing at me for closure.

                                    I guess it depends on whether or not you are having fun. That is why I stay.

                                        Write in your spare time until you have a finished manuscript. Be sure to update that '91 screenplay to current narrative devices, dialogue patterns, and whatnot. Shop it around and see what industry-professionals think of your masterpiece. When you get your first check, then you decide what to do : do you stay or do you go?

                                                        Keep working on them on the side. I grew up in Los Angeles... almost EVERYONE is a screenwriter. So keep the day job until you complete one of your scripts.

                                                              For every accepted script there are probably a hundred denied. I guess thats answers your question... unless you're 100% sure about being a genius, but in that case you wouldn't have raised this question.
                                                              I love big boobs.

Focus on time management and deligate what is least important. Put it all into words and read it several times as you become what you think about most often. Plan your work and work your plan and remember loose lips sink ships.

                                                                                                  It is likely due more to your yearning to accomplish things on a more creative level all together.

                                                                                                  Accomplishing things of passion takes guts. Most people would never leave their day job, they don't have the guts.

                                                                                                  Get in your car, drive south down the coast and leave what doesn't change behind you.

                                                                                                  Things which do not change always tend to be there anyways.
