So... I just pieced together my "screenwriter's resume".
I got my cues from this website:
https://thebackstoryscreenwritingstaffing.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/a-how-to-guide-for-writing-the-screenwriters-resume-by-screenwriting-staffing/
I also e-mailed it to one of my old college screenwriting professor (who is now a jack of all trades in Hollywood), Michael Amundsen.
I had to delete a slew of my unproduced "spec" scripts.
Makes sense, though.
The above website warns against them; they say anyone reading the resume will ask,
"If you have so many scripts, why haven't you sold any of them?"
The site even admits that selling a script is hard, but that it doesn't bode well to a potential producer or agent.
That's fine.
Once I land an agent, I can then say,
"Hey! By the way, I have a buncha scripts that haven't been made... A whole wealth of work under my belt! You wanna sift through it and see if there's anything you can sell?"
That might delight them more than seeing a laundry list of scripts I haven't managed to land representation with in the first place.
We shall see.
At any rate, I feel like a good deal of work has been done for the night. I feel contented to relax now.
