And what happened to the 1st 3? Are they just sitting on a shelf somewhere or have you sold them since the 4th one got optioned?

No, the 5th placed in a screenplay competition, which allowed me to show the 4th one around. The first 3 were no good at all.
I've now written 18 spec features. 4 feature assignments (3 of which were produced by SciFi Channel - 1 was never produced) and 3 spec television pilots.
Of the specs, 2 have been optioned, 1 is being retooled and is about to go into pre-production, another one has sparked some interest. Amongst the others maybe 2-3 of them are good enough to get made but the old ones are really just the stepping stones which have gotten me here. Looking back to them isn't helpful, it's important to keep moving forward and growing as a writer.
