Quoted from wonkavite


Balt - I was really looking forward to it!  (Seriously - you described it as a great idea, and got me curious.  Darn it, you can't pull it off with an all-nighter?


Meh, I'm milling over finishing it tonight, maybe moving into tomorrow.  

As I said, I don't want a repeat of the last 2 OWC's; where I spent 5 hours rushing through one just to submit it 2 min before deadline -- The other I wrote an an HP mini in the hospital without screenwriting software.  Not desirable results.

I've got some work to do on my Page Award entry and then I'll try to continue where I left off last night on my OWC script... In the mean time, I'm certainly out.  Might change, but I'm probably out.

If all else fails, and we "CAN" enter it into the 7wc -- I'll probably do that.

I thought about a second entry, but I don't know if I could throw it in by the deadline. It was tough enough getting the first one in. I still don't think I'll be turning my entry into a feature, I might expand a few pages down the road for a longer short, but my heart just wasn't into it. I also hate my logline, but it's the best one I could come up with.

Ah, loglines, just when you think you did the best you can, along comes the logline.  Perhaps I should write the logline first.

Finally, finished and sent but totally not happy with the logline... Just needed another hour or so but I really need to get to sleep.

Er, also, to Don, I think I wrote some random gibberish in the comment/question section so if you could ignore that, it would be awesome.

if that's your biggest issue - i think you'll bo OK  

when i have trouble with loglines... i always find that "less is more" is quite effective.

I lied . My biggest issue was proofreading it a few more times, some of the parts are really over written and sometimes the story jumps from scene to scene cause it's crammed with too much information. Why did it have to be 10 pages? . I should never leave it to the last minute next time.

Anyway, shame you aren't entering though . The more the merrier I say.

I am going to be struggling for the next few hours to get this done. I was 5 pages in 2 days ago and came down with a terrible cold/flu. Hopefully I can get myself focused in time. Good luck to everyone else!


'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

Same here...as the evening goes along the slower and slower I'm getting.

Also, I'd like to have someone read it first, but it's usually hard to get someone to read 10 pages on a Friday night and even if you do, it's even harder to make coherent changes in time.

Oh, cheers btw!!!!
