It's arguably the biggest and most important such competition in town. So appropriately enough while writing with Todd this weekend, I got my mail and found an envelope from the Nicholl people. It was thin. What this means, apparently, is that out of 4200 scripts, about 200 move on, and mine is one of them.
Semis come next.
Then about 8 to 12 make it into the finals. Regardless of whether or not I go any farther in the competition, it's a big confidence booster. Nastily, it was especially nice to open the envelope in front of Todd who's preparing to head off to work on a new hotly anticipated network show and also just booked a guest spot on some other new cop show. Helped my bruised and battered ego a bit. So I wrote.
