Paul sad.

This is a GREAT challenge. I'll have to circle back to this and write one when things clear.

Dangit. I would seriously have loved doing this one.

If we put all of Paul's forum posts together over the course of the next week, I bet it would hit over five pages...

Yeah! What Rene said... Stop posting, 'sad Paul'. And get cracking on that killer dialogue script.

That goes for 'tardy Mark' and 'ugh DJS' too.  
You call yourselves writers.

I'm fixing up past work. I keep putting it off, and now I'm focused again.
I don't need a side attraction.

Rev. 2 complete. Time to ruminate. Is it clever? Is it crafty? Most of all, is it killer?

It's not the writing that's the hard part. It's the reading, commenting and voting. I enjoy it all, but man, it's a time suck.

Posting here... that's my distraction. Everyone needs a distraction or two. (Or ten.)

Paul, Darren: All good, guys. Do what you gotta do.

I should add for those entering, (and I presume you all know anyway,) but for those not familiar with the turn of phrase:

Killer Dialogue doesn't mean literally.
Characters who happen to be killers are optional.

...
This one's not bad:

I had this idea for one person who literally talks the other one to death, but it’s run to 309 pages and I can’t cut any more and still make it believable

This has got to be the quietest prelude to a OWC that I've ever seen. We know who is out but who's in? How's progress? Are you feeling good about this challenge or are you kicking the cat out of frustration? Me? I always feel good about it, right up to submission. I leave it to all of you to make me feel stupid and incompetent. Yay! Something to look forward to....

I have a nugget of a story idea, but likely won’t have a nugget of time to turn anything into a script. It’s a shame because writing for a reasonable budget is a skill I’d definitely like to pick up.

I know, right? I was beginning to take it personally... Then I thought, nah, it's a really good open challenge!
Narrows the field for a mug, I suppose.

Good questions too, John.
Oh, and I know that feeling. My script is great, whoops, no, it's bad...Ooh, someone likes it again! Nope, now it's bad again etc.

Sorry, I have to be out - things like bootcamp is approaching and I hardly even read the site here which I’ve never done. Just not a good time for me at all(
Anyway, that’s the reason I’m silent.
And I won’t be even reading the entries! Yes, I’m busy.

Bummer! Well, thanks for popping in to say so, Kham. You will be sorely missed this round.
And, good luck with bootcamp. Is this a down in the mud, flying foxes, and obstacles type bootcamp?
