True that people don't like confusing. I made mine confusing on purpose (i.e. actions that seem to make no sense at the time, but placed into context later), and as soon as I crossed that line, Phil and Jeff (Dogglebe and Dreamscale) refused to read any further. |

I intend on going back to yours, George.
I've attempted to read all 8 scripts. I have commented quite a bit on all of the threads, whether I read 2 pages, or the entire script. I even attempted to keep some back and forth dialogue going, but some of the writers chose not to. When a writer posed a question to my feedback, I responded and tried to clarify my comments.
Of the 8 writers, I have had zero comments on my thread from 5 of them, which is quite depressing, actually. One of the writers even chose not to acknowledge or respond to my feedback on their script thread.
Luckily, I've had non 7WC SS'ers read and provide lots of great feedback, as well as Gabe, who will have his 7WC script finished shortly. Other than that, I feel feedback on a whole has been pretty weak, and not in the spirit I was expecting and hoping for.
Oh well, what can you say? |

I'm still reading... Have to finish Ray's. Dreamscale, you have so many comments on yours... I decided to read the other ones before yours - it's just you have all the help you need I think (at least more than the rest of us). So that's why no comments on yours from me for now |

Quoted from Dreamscale I've had non 7WC SS'ers read and provide lots of great feedback.... Oh well, what can you say? |
I'm going over everyone's comments to my comments on their scripts as soon as I can and will try to provide more suggestions. |

I'm wondering how many car accidents and hit-and-runs are there in the 7WCs.

Just checking in. How is everyone doing? Have you finished your rewrites? I have to be honest and tell you that I have done nothing on mine yet. I started reading through the comments on mine today and I'm mulling over what changes I need to make. I know that's a few weeks longer than I said, but...geez fuck I HATE rewrites!!!! Starting it tomorrow though. Stevie, I'm reading SENT! And to anyone else who read, I will read yours as well! |

Heck, I'm still slowly getting through reviewing everyone else's. I've done two so far, and desperately trying to write something else that I really need to get done. Time is not on my side recently. My real-world-job has been hell lately. |

I started the rewrite but it's so far from being done... I feel like I have to take a seminar on rewriting, used to rewrite before but it was never so hard. You guys already started OWC - I can't keep up with you all I decided not to commit until the rewrite is done. |

I have two, one with an eighteen-wheeler, and another with a baby not strapped into the car seat (that was an accident!). I'm starting to outline my rewrite and could start it this week. I have to rewrite my comedy too, but there's a lot more work involved in that so I'll do my 7WC first. |

So I was thinking of you guys the other day. I read the first draft of Salt, then I read the later draft, which Brian Hegeland worked on. If you're stuck for ideas on how to proceed, or just as an interesting exercise to see what other writers do when they rewrite, it might not be bad to chack out. It's a thriller, and it has flashbacks!
I will say that I think a couple of your originals were better than the first draft. |

I have done nothing on mine as well. Re-write is really a bitch.
Mine will be a major re-write with new characters and subplots. |
