I noticed : blah,blah,blah,blah.f about an hour ago...
But now the “.f “ is conspicuously missing. Lest the “.f “ was a Thai Pose, me thinks the birthday ( happy-b day, btw... sorry, on an iPad and only have one finger), ahem birthday/ anniversary has the Don giddy and is toying with us, lol.
It is September, Darren but Don likes to mix things up around here, keep us on our toes.
The title of this thread (well, the main one) is September OWC, so hang onto your hats, get your pens and keyboards at the ready, cause an announcement is on the horizon.
Very observant, Rick. I didn't see an 'f' and thought maybe you were on a rant. As the heading says, something's in the works... And soon!
Guesses...?
Haha! No… no rant this time around, but I did (emphatically) see an “.f “ or was it “f.” ?
Either way, I thought maybe each “blah” represented a letter, and was going to slowly be revealed as an additional letter (clue) over the coming days, at least that’s my initial take, but it appears that was just a typo and was corrected… okay, now I’m ranting, lol.
Woody Allen, eh? For reasons unknown, I keep thinking of one his funniest quotes:
“I would never want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.”
Guesses?: err… comedy? Comedy set in New York? All out of guesses now. Another clue, S'il vous plait?
Also, September is a strange month to have an OWC, not complaining at all; I definitely need something to stoke my writing slump, I just don’t ever remember one in September, all good. Appears you’re running this Libby, or hosting, or … whatever the preferred nomenclature is nowadays?
Umm... not 100% sure, I could be wrong, but my mind somewhat remembers his character 'Alvy Singer' saying it while standing in line at a movie theater (in the movie Manhattan); I think he was paraphrasing an old 'Groucho Marx' quote of the same idea.
I'm working on a new TV pilot at the moment. It's just spec but I'm focused on it and in that zone so not sure if I'll be participating, just depends on what it is. I'd like to as I enjoyed the WT so we'll see.

Oh, come on now, we'll have none of that. Look below the surface.
Second clue: Raymond Chandler.
Smoking. Drinking. Lots of both.
And, Woody Allen sucks as a writer (Yeah, I said it). So, a faux-witty New York-set crime dramedy (Not Martin McDonagh-style), with lots of introspection and smoking. And the main character dies or wishes they did.
Or, my second guess: their initials W.A.R.C. Flip it around: CRAW. As in fish. As in Bayou-style. Possibly related to New Orleans and/or Voodoo? Nailed it.
They're auteurs, they all favour heavy dialogue, lots of stuff with two people...
Yup, it's a one-location, two character challenge.
I suck at dialog. Ugh. The new Charlie Kaufman film, "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" is a good example of 2 peeps, one location, heavy dialog. They spend a lot of time in a car.
Oh God. If we have to film it I'm out. Lol. Especially during stupid COVID.
If the expectation is that we’re going to act out what we wrote, maybe with another person, that’s harder than it sounds. I’m pretty sure the pitch video I sent to Impact X Netflix for Who Wants to Be a Princess? was about the sixtieth take. (And it was still terrible)
How do you 'film' something with no cameras, Ant? Was it an iPhone job?
Ooh, I see some of you are excited and some are ready to throw the towel in. Amazing, it's like watching a rumour become truth when you might or might not be on the right track.
One more clue coming shortly on the eve of announcement.
Hahahaha. That was my evil laugh which will never rival Sean's. Mwahahaha... That's more like it.
Oh, man. This sounds fun. Alas, I'll be out on this one. Too much going on. And, this time I really mean it. No talking myself into it.
I WILL be watching though. I'll try and read a few.
Good luck all!!

When your hair is combed? It's a jock, not a face mask.
Is it?
