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...

8ball 07-05-2006 12:32 AM

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.

tASSy 07-05-2006 01:13 AM

mmmm adaptation...

wtf does this have to do with the adult industry? i think i should go masturbate. more like nick cage in something significantly earlier though :P

Kristian 07-05-2006 01:14 AM

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.

Now THAT is FAR more DISTURBING than I think ANYONE wishes to contemplate.

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.

BlackCrayon 07-05-2006 05:14 AM

ah californians.

Why loose what you got now for something that you might have ...

Just finish them at night, and try getting in the business slowly ?

Stallion 07-05-2006 06:55 AM

Do them both, but set time aside for working on the screenplays.

GUNNER 07-05-2006 07:53 AM

Don't let goals or dreams drift away slowly. Chances are that to achieve your dreams and live a life you love, the complettion or eventual resolution of those dreams are crucial.

clicker 07-05-2006 08:13 AM

Diversify and purchase income generating assets to finance your screen plays (passion) with deadlines. 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.

Just needed a little motivation right? :)

AllStar 07-05-2006 09:26 AM

don't think the mainstream industry is any different then here, hype, inflated egos and connections. It is just bigger and more fragemented so it easier to BS.
A great script will usally always sell!
However the other 98% you just have to find a home for.
Try inktip as it is good barometer to dealing with producers and directors at least there you might find a good agent!
Good Luck yo!
