It´s a sad but true fact that (in my opinion) there are no write-worthy shows here, so i focus on writing movies. And writing a script in english is too risky for me, i understand and speak it well, but to really hit the tone of each character and really express what i want to say, that´s another thing. Well, nevertheless i like to keep track of spec writing in the US and Canada, it´s an really interesting (and hard) topic. And yeah, i will spread the word ;) I´m not really writing a spec script for TV right now, as much as i would like to it´s not quite promising to write for a show in Austria, or any other german speaking country.

That's always an interesting topic. Which is the right show to showcase your talent and that's going to have the longevity as a series so that your script is good to send around for a couple of years. Last thing you want to do is to spec a show that's going to get canceled. PS What are you spec’ing? That’s always an interesting topic.
