Hi everyone,
Over the past few weeks, I’ve submitted 21 original projects here on Stage 32.
And out of all of them, only one survived.
“The Ledger” — a symbolic psychological thriller — was the only script officially accepted by a producer.
It wasn’t luck.
It wasn’t even the best-written one.
It was the one that grew stronger with every rejection.
Here’s the truth not many people say:
• 12 projects were officially rejected
• 8 are still under review
• And just 1… got through
That one project carried the lessons of every failure before it.
Every “pass” became fuel.
Every note became clarity.
I didn’t stop writing.
I didn’t stop pitching.
And I won’t.
Because this isn’t a story of failure — it’s a roadmap for persistence.
If you’re reading this wondering if your idea will ever make it —
Remember: you only need one “yes.”
But you have to earn it — one “no” at a time.
Stay hungry.
Stay honest.
Keep building.

Thank you so much, Sarah.
Your words truly mean a lot — especially coming from someone in the industry.
Stories like The Ledger were born from silence, doubt, and persistence — so knowing it resonated with you really lifts my spirit.
Wishing you continued inspiration in all that you write and create. Let’s keep building stories that matter
