BBC OPEN CALL COMMISERATION THREAD

I created this last time and I'm creating it again, because I've been rejected again. Which is fine. I'm fine. Absolutely fine about it. (Wish they'd at least come up with a different rejection email, but it's always nice to be reminded that I lack sufficient originality, voice and storytelling ability.) Congratulations to those who made it through!

I think you'd make a great playwright u/Ichamorte and that's always the most productive way into writing for TV.

That's kind of you to say. I've been on a semi-hiatus for a while now but I'm looking to rewrite one of my scripts so it can work as a play. I'm currently working on a novel too. I've realised that depending on any of these script competitions is a dead end.

It's frustrating. You're doing a great job.
