Kev, I think you choked me up! What a lovely post. I'm really so very touched. Thank you so much. It's good to know that you have that much faith in me, and it's always comforting to know that the way I express myself is ok! I don't think I can thank you enough for the compliments, because I'm still in awe of them. I appreciate your support and think I need to get my ass into gear so I can write some more!! 3 scripts down... I know I have a heck of a lot more in my noggin waiting to be released  

As for this exercise taking place once a month, I think that could be a good thing in the long run and would help to keep the overall purpose of the site in mind, in a constructive way.

I thought the one week excercise worked fine, personally.  I got to read some scripts and I noticed the pleasant absence of 'What do you guys think of this idea of the day?'

Oh, yeah.  Good point.  I didn't miss those, either.

Takeshi,

The verdict is .  I probably will not do this again anytime soon.  Interestingly, with the fewer boards to post on, I actually spent more time fielding questions and deleting more posts in a day that I normally do in a week.  These deletions were 90% "I like this script" and off topic posts.  

Don

Hey Don, do you read all of the scripts that are submitted or is it kind of a glance over for content and formatting thing?


Be excellent to each other

I know that I'm really slow and that this thread is old; nevertheless I thought I'd reply.

My work includes a heavy duty amount of reviews/critiques as well as research work, skill building,  and of course, my own writing.

In my opinion, a good way to develop as a writer is to integrate life into the "Writer's Magic Tricks Bag". This means that one thing should never be exclusive on its own-- in other words: Writing without psychology isn't really going to cut it. Writing without context isn't going to do much good either. And writing without reading, watching and internalizing the emotions evoked from whatever it is one is reading and watching doesn't help to move the writer beyond themselves.

What I'm trying to say, (in a round about way) is that the beauty of this forum is that it's a "Life Forum". It integrates people's experiences and doesn't exist in a way that people's "asides" are irrelevant.

The comments that come from chat and spontaneous posts (that might seem to be off topic) are completely ON TOPIC. And I'm no lawyer, and not very good at arguing, but if I were to argue it, I'd say that: Writing is about life; so the question is: Does life have a narrow focus? No.

To add to this however, I should say that having a technical forum or a straight-up reviews forum is probably a super-de-duper idea. Just thinking about ways to improve the site and ask for people's input is excellent for everyone.

I belong some groups with crit quotas. You might also consider having crit contests, movie review contests... I could go on and on here...

I think the most important thing is to segment what you want where. I guess that keeps everyone happy.

Sandra
