Note from JWR:

I have slightly updated my “Pulling Through” screenplay. If you know anyone in the movie business, please let them know that it is an “available property.” At least until the screenplay sells to a studio or “indie” production company, the HTML version of the full screenplay is still available for free download. I also distribute hard copies of the screenplay through Cafe Press, with less than a $2 markup. (The goal is to get a lot of copies out there, with hopes of one finding its way into the right hands.) Thanks, folks!
