Hows everyone doing?

So I'm about to submit my draft and noticed that the contest calls for you NOT to put your real name on the submission.  I was under the impression that everyone was not hiding their entry based on the fact that everyone has been sharing their ideas.  I'm fine with whatever is decided, but I guess I want to make sure I'm doing it right, as this is the first one I've entered and I'm traveling all day tomorrow.

What say you, Phil?  Real name on it or not?

Gary

Fuck, please say hide your name.

I don't want my name on this atrocity I came up with. haha

Had to look close through all that other stuff in Phil's original post but here it is:

Unlike previous challenges, this one will not be anonymous.  Your names will be on your work from the get-go;

Yeah, usually previous OWC's are anonymous hence the "no real name" next to the submission. For this, like James pointed out, write your name.

For the past couple of years I think only the October OWC has been anonymous the rest have had names on the scripts.  

My thriller idea is coming together little by little (as I distract myself from three novels I should really work on). I have a basic plot, but no MacGuffin. My outline still says "MacGuffin (I'll think of this later)". Fortunately, I still don't really need to know what it is to write 11 pages.

Submitted!  And may God have mercy on anyone who actually reads this script (and the logline quickly prepared so I could submit this)!

Now, as punishment, I must get in a car and drive for 14 hours.   With kids.

Good luck Gary and also for your script

Yup, you deserve a read for this alone - cant think of much worse.

May the force be with you.

Love your avatar, James. My name might as well be on mine. I can run, but I can't hide.

I've just submitted the first 11. Well, here we go... If you need care and counseling, just call 1-800 I give up. If allz you get is a machine, PM me.

Be easy on me - I can do sooo much better. lol

Noticing some peeps beating themselves up already, before their script is even seen.

Just remember that you entered the OWC and that in itself is an accomplishment. Nothing that you wrote was set in stone, so make the best of your feedback and rewrite if needed.

Well done to all who entered.

Mark

Following Mark, this contest is to help you write and finish a screenplay. Be lucky that it's a feature. IMO, it has more value than a short. That's just me (since I suck writing shorts...lol).

Anyway I digress, back to the matter at hand. Like Mark says, you can rewrite it afterwards once you get a satisfactory number of notes from peeps on here. Once it's all done, you'll have a feature under your belt that can be found and made into a movie (it happened to Pia).  

Everyone's good in my book. Reaper gets a bit more for that Danielle Harris pic. . lol.

Gabe

I slammed out the first 10 pages as quick as I could.

I don't know if crookedowl wants to give it a quick rewrite or just submit what we have.

I have a beef and beer to go to in exactly a half hour and I won't be back until way after the deadline.

So....don't know what to do, guys.
