Question: What is the most disappointing thing to you? How do you deal with it?

I'm really looking forward to something right now... hoping it works and that a new adventure will be beginning. If it doesn't work, my heart will be crying... but I'll deal with it and know there are other options and other roads to travel.
I'll cry my tears and eventually... pick myself up and try again.

That happens all the time. So…

1. You could shift it toward a new direction. Writing is rewriting. Start rewriting or toss this one and start a new project, because:
2. Chances are this one will never get made anyway, because selling a screenplay is like winning the lottery. It's rare. And chances are:
3. You will not use this one to get an agent. You need to be at a professional level, no less. It takes years to learn, practice, perfect, and build a solid portfolio. It also means you will need to:
4. Improve your writing. Don't wanna sound mean, but it's crucial. Reps (or their readers/assistants) are looking for reasons to toss scripts after one page… actually, after one line. You're giving them a damn good reason to do that.
5. Speaking of which, getting reading requests is hard. Especially if you target agents, because…
6. Agents won‎'t even open your mail because they don't accept unsolicited material. Some managers do. But they're very selective. Plus, they won't even consider representing you if…
7. You're a minor. Even if you're, say, 18… that's still not enough. Because it takes a long time to master the craft and learn everything there is to know about the industry.

To sum up, keep writing and learning. For a few more years. Writing scripts is not easy, let alone good ones. That's what you should be worried about. You could keep writing this one – as practice. Nothing will happen with it anyway.
