The best thing about this advice is that it also applies to writers for whom the phone hasn't even rung yet.

CJ: Absolutely true. You can't control managers. You can't control agents. But you can control your writing -- how you write, what you write, when you write, if you write. If you read scripts watch movies, really drilling into them to see how they work, and you apply those principles and that knowledge to your own writing, and you come up with a fantastic story idea, and you write the hell out of it as a script, a truly professional quality script with a unique voice, Hollywood will find you.
