41. Remember the days when you'd have to MAIL
scripts, treatments, films, etc, etc and then wonder if they'd ever come back, knowing that it would take 8 WEEKS before anyone even possibly looked at your work and that you could have easily died of starvation by then?

Ahh those were the days :)

In a way I miss that.. like when your car would break down on a cross country trip and you'd have to WALK 20 miles in the rain, find a rip off mechanic, then go to a bar and wait, wondering if the tow truck driver was going to steal your car while you got loade because you were scared - but then you'd MEET people, ordinary folks and make friends with them, sometimes these strangers would go out of their way to HELP you and you'd actually have a REAL experience..

Cell phone killed a LOT of human interaction alone.

BUt I like reaching millions without some publishing house thinking, "Well.. this IS a little too, uh.. Crazy?" :)
