So you love to write vomit drafts... makes sense.
Seems more logical that if you love the craft of writing you'd have some interest in the actual craft of writing.

I am an artist not a craftsman. It's like asking a painter to paint something then meddle over it and then paint over it ...what WAS art becomes a CRAFT. Anyone can learn a craft or paint by numbers. IT's just the way I do mine sorry ... I've been lucky to get a lot produced over the years so I think we all work different. I know a guy who spends YEARS 'polishing' and going over each script. I just don't work that way. To each his own IMO. No judgement here... you either love someone's story or you don't. |

When are the writers and writer’s choice revealed? Says the 2nd of February.
Doesn’t affect me, just out of interest. |

Hi all.
I’m very late to the party. (And very spaced as it happens due to total jet-lag discombobulation since you ask. What time is it? Which side of the planet is up?)
This is my first time reading and reviewing for an OWC... and I was gutted to be away with practically zero internet access and reading time from just before the submission date through to this moment right now. I’m trying to catch up. Reviewed a bunch on the plane home, and will read and review more now...
... If I’m not too late?
What happens next? Stuff gets scored? |

Hey, Always.
If you're in you should have received the scorecard from Don asking to grade the entries - usually by email. But it's only if you submitted your own entry to this. But maybe Don hasn't sent one yet. I don't know, I'm not in. |

Hmmmm, no content here, so I talk
I read 7 entries, all handled qualified, very qualified in my opinion. Not even sure about my favorite yet, probably I read more, though Mark's vision :-) of the new "Titanic", has probably been the most touching message to me. Very good.
Then the French American going to England was completely crazy and skillfull presented. What a great plot.
I liked the other stories too.

I think I read five of them. All were good, but I'm just not really into war stuff or religious stuff, so even though the stories were good and I appreciate the writers' efforts, they didn't really excite me either. I toyed with the idea of writing one, but was simply too busy. My idea would've been if AC or refrigeration had not been invented. That would've had a huge impact on things. Especially in places like Florida. How many people would've moved here with no AC, lol. |

I read all (well, scanned through some) and reviewed six that appealed.. The Broken Kingdom was my fav of those read. It was clever and funny. That said I can't vote as I didn't step up to this particular challenge. This was just too big of an idea for me for a short, and history ain't my fav. Did anyone write about if the printing press had never been invented? Just musing... All credit to those who gave this one a go. |

That screenplay is on a scroll still snail-mailing its way to Don. |

My idea was Islam ruling the world. I was really looking forward to all the accusations of racism, but, alas, things conspired against me and I couldn't finish. |

While we are waiting for the names to be revealed, I just wanted to see if I'm the only one who has this experience when reviewing the entries.
I always read the script before reading the reviews. Usually, in every OWC there's one script which is written fine, no problem there, but I just don't think works as a story, or will make a good short movie at all for various reasons. Yet then I look at the reviews and loads love it!
I know everyone has their own tastes etc. but there's always one script which I can't figure out the appeal at all. I even go back and re-read it to see if I was just not with it the first time and I still don't see what it is people like about it.
I should say that there's also usually the opposite. A script I LOVE which everyone else hates.
I'm not going to name scripts as I think that's unfair, but does anyone else have this issue? |
