Why Wouldn't I?

A friend came up to me and asked for help in getting his son into the writer's room. He's 20 and white. I said, why should I help the guy who takes opportunities from me? Not 20, black, and female. I smiled and told him that I am happy to do what I can. I am very secure, not only in myself but in my writing despite a recent comment from a guy who read the first act of one of my pilots, calling it "cliche." He basically was saying it's shit and I'm just another talentless hack crowding the system.

Several people have read my stuff and not one said it was cliche. I'll keep on writing and I'll continue to help others. I know my moment will happen. Who knows, that moment might be....now!
