I won't give in!

As some of you know, Sealegs! was rejected by Playscripts, Inc.
How thoughtless of them!  I mean, we are producing their Christmas show this year!
Anyway....it occurs to me that my scripts don't have enough profanity, sex, violence and diversity in them.  So, if I am to be published....I'll need to get more "earthy" and "hip".
Let's see.......in Oh, Baby, Baby! I guess I could have Jack get a body piercing.  And it wouldn't be in his navel.  
Twist & Shout.....oh, that one was too long ago to even worry about.
The Bitter End......ditto
Sealegs! Well I already thought it was cutting edge having cross-dressers.....  And I had a drunk in it!  And men-eaters!  Darn.
Once upon a Palace Purple.  I wonder how I can develop Panini's character into something more nefarious?  
Wait.....Eric and I are going to work on the script for Rumpelstiltskin.  We could make that dark and sinister!!!  
STOP!  No!  My conscience has kicked in.  I will not change my style to suit publishing companies who obviously don't have the class to see my work as being marketable.  
I won't give in!!

you write fun stuff--that is enjoyed by the audiences that see them--someday, those audiences will be wide spread --you keep at it!
