Damn!  Where have I been since Friday?

Oh yeah, we had 4 grand kids over, the oldest being 13, and I've been cooking, serving, cleaning, and entertaining all weekend.

I'll do my best to get something in.  Luckily, it's a wide open challenge, so that makes things much easier on a 4 day time limit.

OK, now I need to think about this.  Maybe some alcohol will help...

Dammit! There have been so many great conspiracy theories in the 'Journal of the plague' but there's no way to search them except to read through all 1,031 posts. I can't go on memory since I can't remember what I had for breakfast anymore. I think Jeff has the right idea...maybe a drink would help.

Jeff, alcohol won't cure the virus. I think you were thinking about Lysol.

I'll summarize.

Bill Gates, conspiring with the WHO and Communist China, developed 5G in order to implant us with devices that will connect our minds to the internet.

OR something like that.

You forgot to mention that Obama knew about it all along and didn't do anything because he's a communist as well.  I mean, it's all there in Hillary's emails.

I just came across the post today.
I have zero interest in COVID 19 scripts, and I already have a few "seclusion" and/or quarantine type scripts.

That said, I have a funky idea.
Just...popped in the brain, but then I realized
my heart's just not in it.

Hopefully the sun will shine tomorrow.
Hopefully my new masks with the snakeskin patterns will arrive in the mail. I'm tired of the paper ones. I keep sneezing in them.

Finished a first draft. Was not entirely unhappy with it, but it’s missing something. Need to obsess over it now for four days and still wind up turning in the first draft.

It's all part of the conspiracy.

gosh, a OWC.

and a cool idea, with simple page limit. good idea.

I've been at home eight weeks, surely I've got to have a go at this, even if a bit late.

its probably just me, but I haven't been much of a writer for a while . And it seems harder to get fired up than it once did. I was able to join in in October,  but I just don't seem to remember how to write these bloody things. Practice makes perfect, as they say.

hell, worth a go. thanks don

must be the option of a devil porn script within this, somehow  




My scripts - links to be updated.

The Elevator Most Belonging To Alice - Runner Up Nashville
Inner Journey - Page Awards Finalist - Bluecat semi final
Grieving Spell - winner - London Film Awards.
Ultimate Weapon - Fresh Voices - second place

Listen, if we could do 25 scripts about bobblehead dolls, I don't think a couple of devil porn scripts will hurt anyone.
