I've reread mine a few times and am convinced it's as simple and predictable as I'd feared, but it's the thing that demanded to be written, so I couldn't do anything else. I'm just the medium, the messenger, the hand to my muse. And that's more character than my entry has.

Be interesting to see how many people, if any, went in the same direction.

Quoted from Don


My 'Bullet-proof-perfect' theme crashed, burned, and sank, but I can't be happier with the results.  Every script is in the spirit of the theme and while the execution hasn't precisely been as I envisioned it, so far there are no scripts that are disqualified.  

However, it is a bit of a peen fest ... Need more Yang to balance out the Yin


What do you mean, Don?  The men are taking over the world again?

Pia, Marnie, Kham, et aliae.
We are needed.

Not sure I have the time.
I will try. Maybe. We'll see.

I refused to re-read mine because I'm afraid it will read as bad as I remember when I was writing it.

Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly
I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner
The Gambler (short) - OWC winner

Oh I’m weak. This bday and work - there’s just no time for a rewrite. Good luck to you, guys! I’m gonna read some hopefully.

Today I had the saddest call btw- it was a Chaplin and an old confused but feisty lady. She kept telling him she’s going to be discharged tomorrow. He just wanted to pray with her

I've managed to hack something together so I'm in.

I also tried the audio format but just didn't like it so I've gone with the normal screenplay format.

Do I think my script is brilliant? If I finish a script and I'm happy with it, I go through a period where I'm in love with the project, but all it takes is one bad review to make me doubt myself.

It looks like I'll be in.

I know it sounds redonkulous because everybody says it... but, I truly don't expect this script to be competitive. And, that wasn't my goal for this one anyway. I've been dealing with some weird health stuff and it's been saddling with me with a couple of odd but very distracting symptoms. Mainly, insomnia, brain fog and this strange, indescribable "numb" sensation in my legs and left arm (it's not numbness, but I don't have a better word for it). Point is, I've never been as locked up creatively as I have been in the last 8 weeks. So, I saw this challenge as an opportunity to break through the wall and get words on paper. Didn't care if the words made sense. I just wanted words. And, thankfully, I've accomplished that. First written words in 8 weeks. That's what SimplyScripts can do for you.

Been a weird couple of months to say the least. Some days are downright awful. But, I'm getting through it. And, as they say, many people have WAY worse things to deal with than this. So, I'm not complaining. (Not meaning to anyway.) I'm hopeful I'm on the downward slope of this thing. Still, there are days where I would chop my left arm and legs off just to stop the sensation. Would sure like to know what that's all about.

Today, I'm just glad I finally wrote something again. I'm really itching to get back to working on my feature.

(Really, it's all good. Nothing that can't be managed. Thanks for asking.)

Paul's in!? Well shit. This challenge just got a helluva' lot tougher.

Only a few hours left! Getting excited! Or is that nervousness that's creepin' up on me?

Good for you, PK! Another one with the gift of the gab in. Wonder how many we'll get...

Sorry to hear you've been ailing, hope you're feeling 100% again very soon.

Lead by the example then, Lib!

I just came home. Maybe I'll have strength to write it and even submit.
