Some practical advice: call that person who your mom ran into in the grocery store who's uncle's lawyer once worked in Los Angeles. Ie, find someone who knows someone at an agency or a management company (agents and managers are two different kinds of representatives) and get them to read your original script. (I don't like reading specs) OR, find someone who knows someone who works on a TV show and get out here and try to get a job as an intern or a PA or an anything. If you don't know those people, find a way to meet people - take a writing class or acting class, work on a student film - whatever interests you. The more spiritual advice: I've been doing comedy since freshman year in college and although I didn't get a job that paid in more than magic beans until I worked for Current, I was always working on something I cared about. Writing, performing in the great comedy community in Chicago. There's something very worthwhile and important about being in the moment and appreciating what you are working on right now as opposed to trying to get into the TV writer's room. It will make you a better writer and develop your voice more distinctly. http://jezebel.com/hi-there-some-practical-advice-call-that-person-who-y-1536227945
