It's good to get a primer on how to go about it. Looking forward to the next installment.<BR/><BR/>And business cards, though I don't have any, feel like a good idea to me. As the constipated writer said, at least you'll have something to give if someone asks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-1122503847738569442005-07-27T15:37:00.000-07:002005-07-27T15:37:00.000-07:00Shawna, this was so helpful Follow up is a weaknes...Shawna, this was so helpful Follow up is a weakness of mine.

I met a substantial movie guy and he asked for my card, which thankfully, I had. Nothing ever came of it, but at least I was able to give him what he asked for. However, the one time I offered my card to someone, they laughed at the poor quality of it, and declined to take it. (The guy's an a-hole anyway, but that's besides the point) So, my useless advice is if you're going to have a card, make sure it's not the 500 cards for 4.99 variety. Make damn well sure it's glossy and very professionally done. Like in American Psycho....obsess over it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-1122413938419930212005-07-26T14:38:00.000-07:002005-07-26T14:38:00.000-07:00Moviequill,I don't have business cards and I don't...Moviequill,<BR/><BR/>I don't have business cards and I don't know whether they are good or not. I always carry a small notebook with me so I can jot down someone's phone number or e-mail address or scribble mine for them, if requested. I feel like business cards are easily lost, but they could be handy. Anyone else have any thoughts?Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585446312896504036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-1122413042431218902005-07-26T14:24:00.000-07:002005-07-26T14:24:00.000-07:00what are your feelings on a generic businesscard? ...what are your feelings on a generic businesscard? should I get one that has my name, email saying Todd Blah Blah (not my real name...it's really Frank Blah Blah) and just Screenwriter or Writer in the middle of the card, and hand them out often?
