Quoted from ChrisBodily
I just finished my first draft, which literally ends at the top of page 7, so now I have to figure out how to cut it even more. I've already cut one character.

Update: I lost page 7 just by cutting the establishing shot on page 1.

Update 2: Oh, 2-5 characters. I have more work to do.

Update 3: All excess characters have been removed and lost almost two full pages. I'm almost there.

Update 4: Just submitted.


Woo hoo! Chris. Can't wait. -Andrea

I've got a draft together. Not quite happy with it, but I've still got time to work out the kinks.


Don't get it right. Get it written.

Quoted from Drongo Bum

Just send me my mug already.


The darkness really drew me in. The ghost...wow. Didn't see that coming. Nearly leapt out of my chair.

Love the setting. Super unique. Consider further defining the room, though. We know it's a room, and it's dark. But, is it square? Round? I mean, the shape of the room could really change how the story plays out.

Bottom line, love the script. Needs a small polish to really pop.

Thanks for sharing.

In! It's been a long time since I've done anything on here and I was itching to write something lately so I jumped at the chance. I hope I haven't gotten rusty in that time.

Submitted!

Every time I read through it, I spotted another typo, and I'm sure I missed some so I apologise in advance. Looking forward to this, it's been too long since my last OWC!

Ha! With 90 minutes to spare. I even took a break for beer, wings, and the first four innings of game one.

I just finished a first draft, but too late. And too rough. Will tweak and submit after.
Good luck everyone! Looking forward to the reads.

Haha! Andrea's gone from purple to pumpkin orange.
