Ha ha - surprises galore.

Sorry for the rant Jordan.

For some odd reason, i knew Michael Cornetto wrote Elvira Gulch.

It was a feeling in the pit of my belly.

Ah ha!
I just had a strong urge to say that...
Only had two of them correct though.
Good job everyone,
Cindy

Excellent. Now I know what the people who flamed my script wrote. Time to get the RED pen out and write some reviews. This is gonna be sweet. lol.

But seriously, well done Tim. I thought the Family Name was the best script I read.

Well, I was planning on reading all of them, but my week got really busy, but once everyone leaves, then I can start reading them. So far I've only read, like, 3 or 4, but more reviews to come!

Hey giuys, sorry I haven't read many yet, I was at orientation and then a leader at a camp in michigan.  I'm actually typing this from a friends house, but I'll have my internet up and running tomorrow and will read more then.

Can honestly say, I had no idea who wrote anything.  (except Willy Brown)

Thus is the life of a rookie in the OWC.

Now wait one minute. I did not write Elvira Gulch!  Don! You got the wrong name up there.

Thanks to everyone else who participated as the scripts were enjoyable to read. Also, thank you to everyone who read my entry, I have replied to each and every post in that thread and also made additional comments on submitted scripts to those authors who critiqued mine and submitted an entry of their own (this, in addition to the comments I made back when I first read those scripts).

Thanks again everyone and look forward to participating on this board in the future!

Thank you Pia, for these encouragements. Many of us feel so very ashamed of our work-- no matter how hard we work, it's never good enough in our eyes. I think many of us feel we have this sense of the essence of a piece, but it is another different thing entirely to craft it to perfection.

Right when a writer might feel like they get a handle on one thing-- another element crumbles in front of their humbled eyes.  

I know we joke about it a lot, but many of us are very serious about the work and it cuts us down deep. I appreciate your comment here because it goes a long way.

I feel just like Michael, I want to hide underneath a rock.

Sandra

Quoted from Grandma Bear You should be proud of all your children. Don't be embarrassed if they're not gorgeous or the smartest ever. look instead for something positive to be proud of. BTW, just realized I have a boatload of things to respond to. I'll try to do some now, but most will have to wait until tomorrow.

That was a joke. I'm not embarrassed of Elvira.  But thanks to you and Sandra for being supportive.  

And Sandra, you shouldn't want to hide under a rock.  I look forward to your scripts in the OWCs because they are weird and unique.  There's not anything wrong with that.  Everyone expresses themselves differently.  

Quoted from mcornetto I look forward to your scripts in the OWCs because they are weird and unique.  There's not anything wrong with that.  Everyone expresses themselves differently.

Indeed. I'm starting to think cliche is the new avant guard. As long as it's done with purpose.

Quoted from Sandra Elstree. Many of us feel so very ashamed of our work-- no matter how hard we work, it's never good enough in our eyes. I feel just like Michael, I want to hide underneath a rock.

I don't agree with that. When I submit a script I do it when I feel the script is as good as I can possibly make it. Now, that may change once I get some feedback on it but from the get-go I am very proud of my work - like I'm the king of the world Whooooohooo.

i think it's only human nature to feel like there's always something to tweak on any script...like a horse trainer who feels his charge could use "just one more work" before a race...but it is with a sense of pride that we expose our pages to "critical eye" knowing, fully well, that we can't please everyone...that's why they make vanilla and chocolate...
