Quoted from Scar Tissue Films You know what, Lee? I don't think I would have entered if it wasn't for you. I don't know you at all, but watching you blast out those scripts really inspired me. I want to get to the point I can do my ten pages a day. Got so many ideas I think I could turn into great films....

Thanks for the earnest words, Scar.  I appreciate the sentiment.

Always push yourself to achieve.  But be cautious not to burn yourself out like I have.  I'm done for a while, until those creative juices start flowing again.

Sorry for the redundancy. I missed the 10 pages deadline should I just go ahead and submit the full script before August 15th?

Quoted from realxwriter Sorry for the redundancy. I missed the 10 pages deadline should I just go ahead and submit the full script before August 15th?

Well, I would if I were you. This challenge continues till we write the entire script  7 weeks in total. There are, I gather, more relaxed rules with this than with the one week challenges.

Check with Pia - Moderator - otherwise known as 'Angry Bear' - you'll find a post of hers  on the top of page 6 of this same thread so you can PM her to make sure or contact Bert or Don (also Mod) - site admin. Look forward to reading yours if it goes through.  

The goal of this challenge compared to the OWC is to write a feature length script in 7 weeks. If you missed the 10 pages after one week part, like I did, it's still okay to submit the whole feature by August 15th.  It should however fit the parameters of the challenge.

This challenge has also always in the past been meant to help each other write a feature. Asking for help if you get stuck later on with your story is totally fine.  

Awesomesauce! I'm in. Thanks Angry Bear. Thanks LC, looking forward to reading yours too.

So, how's everyone doing now that you've all had some feedback? Hopefully the feedback you received was helpful and you're all continuing on. I'm on page 21 which is behind 4 pages of where I wanted to be today. I'm not worried though. Still plenty of time.

Anyone out there needs help or anything. A kick in the butt or some pep talk? Let us know. Plenty of people willing to help here.  

Did you make the deadline for the first 10?

I think I've just finished my reviews of all the first tens. If I've missed yours, send me a message and I'll get to it. The detectives amongst you should now be able to work out which is my script, but I plan to officially reveal myself on Friday anyway so I can respond to the comments.

As for the script, I haven't done any more than the ten pages that are up. I know the next few scenes though so I should be able to crack on soon enough.

My plan is to get it to 30 pages by Sunday. I have four days off from tomorrow, so in theory five pages a day should be doable. But I do get pretty bad writers block so I know I could struggle, and this is where I'd like to put in a call for help...

If one of you (if anyone remembers) could simply request my script update on Sunday. Sometime later in the day would be better, also taking into account time differences (I'm in England, currently 4:50am). You wouldn't need to read the 30 pages or anything, just a quick check to make sure I'm there. But if you request it and I haven't made it, you have my permission to call me out/publicly humiliate me, so the whole world knows I suck at this. That should be motivation enough to get there.

Churs all.

Arty.

Quoted from Guest Did you make the deadline for the first 10?

Nope.

I have mine plotted out though.

Quoted from ArtyDoubleYou but I plan to officially reveal myself on Friday

I do hope you just mean which script you wrote. I get these pictures in my head, you see.

Quoted from Grandma Bear   I have mine plotted out though.

See, I'm still doing that in my head. I could just wing it and keep adding scenes but I'm concerned it'll get a bit muddy. Do most of you outline the entire thing first?

And, very funny Ren. I also plan on 'revealing' myself soon.  

Quoted from rendevous I do hope you just mean which script you wrote. I get these pictures in my head, you see. R

Well, I wasn't planning to reveal myself in such a way as you may be thinking. But I might consider it, you know, if it gets me ahead in this biz.

I hope the pictures in your head are doing me justice though. I'm not completely ugly. That's what my mum says anyway.

My mum says that too. About me, I mean. Well, I think she means me. I certainly hope so.

Would revealing yourself get you ahead in the biz? Is this how McG and Brett Ratner get to keep working? I think we should be told.

Quoted from LC See, I'm still doing that in my head. I could just wing it and keep adding scenes but I'm concerned it'll get a bit muddy. Do most of you outline the entire thing first?

I didn't used to, but nowadays I do. I find the scripts easier to write as a result, but also much better. I'm actually starting to like the plotting better than the actual writing of the script itself.  

Quoted from rendevous Would revealing yourself get you ahead in the biz?

No. Not in my case anyway. Definitely a hindrance. I like to think it wouldn't be so bad that they'd have to put a hit out on me, but I'm not willing to take that chance.

Yet.
