sent off an enquiry email to an agent yesterday - scared to open the reply!!!

[totalmisfit]

It's for my screenplay.

I expect it's just a bog standard rejection email from a receptionist, as hasn't come from email address of the agent i emailed it to.

I wasn't even expecting a 'feck off' this quickly. They must think it's an absolutely awful script, or they might've mulled it over a bit more. I don't want to open it as i know i'll be depressed for the whole day, if not the whole of Christmas.

come and give me moral support. I don't want to open it 'alone'!

I can hold your hand for the next 10 mins or so until I need to go out.
Will that help?

i just can't do it.

perhaps i could forward it to dh without opening it.... is that possible? and then he could open it for me.

I am not feeling very brave.

Did you open it??

I am hoping to contact book agents soon so I will be in the same boat!!

Open it!!!!

Have you opened it yet?

thanks nicky....

right.... deep breath

drum roll...

i'm holding my breath!

I don't think so, I just tried, clicked once on the email and hit forward and it opened the file,... you could always do it with your eyes closed or really screwed up?

Won't it just be an acknowledgement?
Do they read them that quickly?

o-pen, o-pen, o-pen

Go, on, I'm supposed to be working. I need some excitement.

Bum.

I think they got completely the wrong end of the stick.

???

Aww come on!

well??

Who? us

Bugger.

Dh sent stuff for years before he got published, then he was on a roll.

Keep it up!

Oh? Why?

No, the agent I think. What did they say?

go on...

You know how you're supposed to put the name of clients they already handle, in order to give them an idea of the kind of thing you write...

well, I gave a name of a certain british writer/director and now they have apparently forwarded my email to him

which wasn't at all what i asked them to do. just shows how crap my communication skills are!

aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh
who was it?

Oh, know nothing about this kind of thing but is it possible they've decided to forward to him for his opinion or summat?

Can you recontact them again and explain? Can you be super brave and phone?

Oh!

Well, who knows what may come of it?

You don't need good communication skills to be a creative writer - that's why they have agents! Obviously they have poor interpretation skills.

er... don't know if i should say...

anyone see This is England?

i suppose i could be brave and correct htem but i think it's fair to assume i've blown it.
