Scott, what a brilliant way to break into screenwriting! Marry a wonderfully supportive spouse with a nest egg. I must admit I hadn't thought of that...

And listen to this, I came up with a fourth way to break into screenwriting! Marry rich, and kill her. (And don't get caught)

It may be a way to break into screenwriting, it surely is one out of a marriage.

The only advice I have ever heard from wise mentors, is: "Do not gamble the house."

My two cents: don't try this at home. Ever.

Trust me, the money involved was much less than the price of our house--less even than any of our cars. But it was a significant portion of the film's budget.
