Hey! I'm glad you're back! I've thought about you!
I hate the industry so much too. I too have a dropped-by-an-agent story, and nearly everyone I know has at least one outrageous horror story, and the priorities of the publishing world are bonkers and I could go on and on and I mean, I guess at least it isn't as horrible as the film industry? But probably only because there isn't as much money or glamour involved. And yet, I'm still getting ready to write the second half of the novel I wrote the first half of over the past year because the bastards can take writing away from me when they pry it from my cold dead fingers, or something.
I remember my all-time favorite “black box” story was the Frankenheimer flick RONIN starring De Niro. I think that’s a brilliant way of doing a black box.
Luke! Good to hear from you! 😃

Thinking about me? Aw, shucks ☺️
Thanks for sticking around, and best of luck with the novel. :)

I’ll have to check that one out
Hoping it still holds up. It’s been quite a few years since I last saw it, but I loved it back then.
