I've never met a professional writer who said that doing it well was easy. Some may find it easier than others, but no one I know or have read about ever said it was easy.
Getting your script read, meanwhile, is as easy as entering an open submission contest (the Yale Drama Series is free) or sending in to open submission theaters. Person to person networking can be tough, but it isn't the only way to get noticed.
My hatred of standing in noisy, crowded spaces and talking about myself may have been a liability when I was younger, but it didn't hold back my career to any meaningful degree once I had actually mastered the skills of the craft. I know, each person's mileage may vary, but I read too many scripts from complete amateurs to believe that there are any meaningful barriers to having a script read by a professional. |
