Well, I'm in the middle of writing a feature at high speed, and yet, I may distract myself for a moment for this. I mean, I wrote something for the first OWC in what? Four hours?
George, was just checking out your mini bio for the Fempiror book. Man, you could write a whole musical for this challenge!!
I was surprised at your photo (no, not fucking daniel craig...). I always pictured you as this older mentor type of guy. sort of like an SS Ben Kenobi. shit, I'm probably older than you!
,,,,just looked at your profile...34!! Technically I could be your dad.
Wow, that melody line is really hard to pick out of there. It primarily sounds like the background for a song and I guess the lyrics are just supposed to loosely fit over the background parts playing. I caught a snip of a melodic line but it didn't run through the whole piece. I was expecting a piece that had a clear melody to follow.
Agreed. It's definitely more of an accompaniment, something to lay a melody on top of.
Hi all. I'm a newbie and very excited about this challenge. I am a little confused though. I know it's up to interpretation but if the song is just a background song, like a soundtrack that fits in with the mood of the story, is that okay? Or does it have to be more of a physical part of the story like something someone is singing or writing or purposely listening to (like in their car)??? Did that make sense?
I love this idea by the way. I'm a member of a local film group and just last month I proposed a contest where musicians submit a 3 minute song and we would pick finalists and then post the songs for screenwriters to come up with a story inspired by the song. Then we'll pick a winner and shoot it.

Not in a week, more than likely, but lyrics should be easy enough.
And yeah, I'm actually one of the more middle aged people round here. There are a LOT of youngsters, and the population kind of dwindles and it moves up the age groups. If you could be my dad, you're in a further minority than I am, but definitely not alone. In fact, you're in very good company.
But I do like that you felt I was much older. That does make me feel good.

I always thought you were a young whippersnapper, by crikey.
Looking forward to reading what you enter, if you enter.
Umm, If I submit a script for this and it turns out that everybody laughs their fucking asses off at my lyrics... May i kindly ask Don to remove my name from the script and put (Jeff)Dreamscales in its place for the unveiling???
Well... He said he might not have time to write...

James,
When you initially submit the script, please do not put your name on it. We give a week or so for folks to guess who wrote what. If, however, at the end of that time period, you wish not to have your name revealed, I can remove the script and/or not reveal you as the true writer.

Technically I could've had you at age 13...
And George Wilson does sound like an 'old' type name, if you get my drift. Funny how we look at things like that, isn't it?
