I hope Mark Evanier doesnt mind if I quote him here. Words to live by: Here is a tip if youre ever around writers: Beware of those who have few credits but an endless supply of stories about how they were sabotaged. They would have sold this screenplay had it not been for the slimeball who sabotaged them. They were promised that producer job but then some scumbucket sabotaged them. The network promised to buy their series and then some bastard sabotaged them. Once in a while, the stories are true to some extent…but some writers have way too many of these tales in lieu of actual successes. And they never seem to have, like most of us do, projects that fail because someone wasnt excited by our work or some plans innocently changed. Every time they dont get what they want, which is most of the time, its due to deliberate, premeditated sabotage. Someone stabbed them betwixt vertebrae and/or stole their brilliant idea and/or squeezed them out to get rid of competition. Avoid those people…and do not waste your time trying to connect them to reality. Reality doesnt work for them because in reality when things dont work out, they cant claim they actually succeeded but their prize was stolen away from them.
