12:03 am thembob: @jeannevb Not surprised. But it still hits your hard the first time it happens. And VERY expensive writers change stuff... #scriptchat

12:03 am thembob: @jeannevb ...and it's not automatically better. Sometimes it is, but sometimes they're guessing too. No one knows it all. #scriptchat

12:04 am Jonathan_Peace: @thembob Q: what is the single most defining piece of advice you can give new/aspiring screenwriters (esp UK ones)? #scriptchat

12:04 am lizziside: Q were you allowed to be part of the re-writing process? #scriptchat

12:05 am thembob: @Jonathan_Peace Do it because you love it. DO NOT DO it for fame and riches. That may come but it's way too hard for just that #scriptchat

12:05 am jeannevb: *smooch* RT @DoubleNW: Hey #scriptchat tweeps/ @thembob. ... Kudos 2 #Treefort - doing it big! #scriptchat

12:05 am GCGeek: Q: How *different* was your written Killers compared to the final product? #scriptchat

12:05 am thembob: @Jonathan_Peace As for UK, find the middle ground in writing movies you can make there but that can cross over here. #scriptchat

12:05 am writerice: Q: What do you think/have noticed impedes success for most writers? #scriptchat

12:05 am TheWriteScript: What was your experience prior to selling Killers? #scriptchat

12:05 am Jonathan_Peace: @thembob agree 100%. Thanks. #scriptchat

12:07 am saturdayknight: @thembob how do you handle criticism during the rewriting process? #scriptchat

12:07 am thembob: @danielhuffman I had to mount a full campaing for credit, big statement written etc. Lots of work but I got credit! #scriptchat

12:07 am naultpullar: @EverettMaroon You are the writer and not director. It's best to not put any. #scriptchat

12:12 am lizziside: Q Were you on for the rewrite? This is st that I would like very much to know. #scriptchat

12:12 am thembob: @zacsanford My manager was an indie producer in orlando. Hired me for 600 bucks to rewrite a script. That was over 10 years ago #scriptchat

12:12 am jeannevb: FYI, I watched THE AIR I BREATHE on Netflix the other day. GREAT cast, fantastic story & great direction. Dug it. #scriptchat

12:12 am thembob: Manager moved here before me, got his foot in the door, he was an asst when I arrived. We came up the ladder together #scriptchat

12:12 am lizziside: sorry it went out twice #scriptchat

12:12 am zacsanford: @thembob Awesome. Glad to see you've stuck with your management team, as good management is hard to come by in this town. #scriptchat
