I recently got really involved in a school scriptwriting project that, though it's worth no credits and I'm not getting paid, I've invested more time into it than my job or school. Why? Because of a small bit of praise an early draft of the script received. Sure, it makes us seem insecure and desperate but, dammit, it's necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-1163569496978189962006-11-15T00:44:00.000-05:002006-11-15T00:44:00.000-05:00Sounds like your instructor type-casted you approp...Sounds like your instructor type-casted you appropriately.

The other played a college student on LSD(type casting)in an experimental drama called "The Last Sweet Days of Isaac."
