I know a writer who was offered $45K to be credited alone, or over $200K to be one of four credited writers.

He took the $45K.

On his next job he got $1.3 million and co-executive producer credit.

He went on to do about a half dozen movies with budgets north of $20 million -- without B.O. success...

Now, he can't get his phone calls returned.

You can go from zero to hero to zero pretty fast in this town.

Sounds like you have the solid basis of a long and solid career, though, Jack.
