The show, though, was past its prime, and was cancelled after 16 episodes with Roberts.

Screenplay by Syd Field Borrow Directing by Michael Rabiger. I wasn't sure if I could do this, screenwriting, it's very solitary. Now I have to structure my life, so I am working on a passion project and commercially viable scripts, at the same time, no picking and choosing. A writing team makes 3 million dollars a year just writing for Hallmark. They also tend to use the same actors and writers. Optioning a Hallmark Script (then hand it off to the channel to tweak and do whatever they want with it, whoever doctors their scripts.) and the writer gets around 60-100k for a Television feature. I've also learned from a Hallmark exec that they are taking unsolicited manuscripts in October. Time to hustle, finish edits on episodes 101 and 102, and finalize the series bible/Pitch Deck. It's not even the same script it was in March. I also love my script a thousand times more with the suggestions. I've moved up and received a "consider" rank!
