Quoted from Stumpzian
I think it was Warren who said he read his script 30 times before submitting. You can't ask for more than that.


Yeah that was me, and we have had a similar discussion before about OWC entries being vomit drafts.

I said that I've never submitted something as a vomit draft. I may not be happy with the story, but I am always happy with the writing.

If I have missed anything in regards to spelling, grammar, passive writing, or format it's because I really did miss it. It's never because I was rushed or being lazy.

Story on the other hand is different, we are confined to the parameters we are given. How original we can be has nothing to do with anything I listed before.

Stories are all the same. It's only the execution that matters. Talk of a 'great story' should be saved for the Oscars.

We're sold on concepts and premises, then those stories are expected to follow the same formula to fulfill our need for completeness... ABC, the beginning, a middle, and an end.

Execution is all that matters. Especially here. A producer will simply hire a pro writer and give the amateur a story by credit.

Yep - can't account for the difference on this one. In the other rounds we voted as we read with Thursday being the deadline to cast your vote. The only exception being when we had to re-vote and that one was therefore extended by a week.

So, certainly a mystery here is to the delay. My guess is that we are extending again.

We'll see.

Sean is obviously handcuffed in the backseat of a racist’s car that was dropped into a compactor that is itself buried in snow and in the path of an ominous red sandstorm.
