And now everybody

 Thing is that people never call when you need them. Or their money, to be un pocco more precise. But then, all of a sudden, they all want you. How about a movie? Time for a show? We have this idea for a sitcom... 

They started calling yesterday. Just after I started with the ever so humiliating customer acquisition. It's okay to pitch an idea, to send a concept to a producer or ring them up to chat and allude that you have a lot of time these days. But to send an email aksing whether or not they have a writer for an upcoming casting-show is just not my cup of tea. I did it though, praying not to sound desperate.

An hour later the phone rings. It's another company. They do a new show and want me to deliver some ideas. Another hour later yet another company invites me to spend a couple of days in Berlin to a writers' room. And then there's the pending sitcom thing - the prospect of ten scripts to be written.

What's the name of the law that states that whenever you need work you get none or three times as much as you can handle? If it doens't exist, call it Murmel's Law. Or would that be a paradox?
