But Gladwell adds that there's a confluence of events or circumstances that brings people to greatness; that their ability doesn't stand on its own. In other words, there's an element of being at the right place at the right time. I'm sure, Julie, you believe in this notion as well -- especially since it applies to Hollywood in this case. <BR/><BR/>Seems like this factor might be worth expounding upon as well (but could be daunting, say, if you're hapless and may invest 10,000 hours but may never be at the right place at the right time -- ahem).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-71902775909446232282009-01-12T08:07:00.000-08:002009-01-12T08:07:00.000-08:00Hey Julie,You are really going to rock this indust...Hey Julie,<BR/><BR/>You are really going to rock this industry.<BR/><BR/>I believe one day you will be a million time better than Scriptapalooza, for example! <BR/><BR/>Love this comment, thanks for sharing...<BR/><BR/>"The ability to write a well-crafted synopsis is what separates okay readers from GREAT readers."<BR/><BR/>I only wish Mark is listening.<BR/><BR/>I received the worst synopsis from Mark's Reader. Sounded like the coverage and the synopsis was written by a high school student or a 100 year old man. So terrible and disorganized and disrespectful.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Linda for being so truthful and helpful, with all your heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-13310530229542884412009-01-12T07:59:00.000-08:002009-01-12T07:59:00.000-08:00I read this book a few weeks ago, and that was far...I read this book a few weeks ago, and that was far and away the best chapter, as far as I was concerned, because it was the only one that really gave me a sense of control over my own destiny. It's a little daunting to think about, but also encouraging.<BR/><BR/>I've been writing my entire life, so have probably put 10,000 hours in, though I have not been writing screenplays my entire life, which leaves me in a completely different space. I find myself wondering what it is I should be doing now, given that, fact, and it's an exciting inquiry to be in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-18526542014620974152009-01-11T22:02:00.000-08:002009-01-11T22:02:00.000-08:00Funny, the person I call my BFF in SF is a Keith t...Funny, the person I call my BFF in SF is a Keith too.
