Movie scores, for the moment. As the idea is in my head, it's about 21 pages. I have lots of cuts to do.

I'm writing mine backwards.  End to Start.  When I get to the start I'll reorder the scenes accordingly.  Technically I'm probably on page 6 rather than 4.

Currently listening to My band's Aquatic Astronaut stuff...

Shameless plug for our song "The Dying Hearts Sixth String" ~

Quoted from Mr.Ripley This challenge is calling me. Damn.

I know. I feel the same way.  

Sounds like fun.

Quoted from Baltis. http://www.mdn.fm/files/80741_chbgw/Shadowstrong%20-%20the%20dying%20heart%27s%20sixth%20string.MP3

I like it.    It's rather uplifting.

Where can I hear more?

Quoted from Mr. Blonde Let's face it. Everyone here is thinking the exact same idea. The question is, who's gonna do it better? =)

I'm not so sure about that. But I just submitted my entry. The title is called Pumpkinseeds and it runs 8 pages, not including the title page..

I've read the comments to this point. I don't think I'm doing the same story/character as everyone else. But if I'm right, given the guidelines of the OWC, I might be disappointed. Still, there's a week to go.

We shall see.

I'm basing mine on an old Norse legend about a guy in a wheelchair, some other guy, and some hot chick with a nice rack.  The legend also happens to involve an old abandoned house in the desert.

No way can anyone else be writing about the same plot as me.  Just no way.

I'm at page 54 so far, and I'm about 4/5 finished, so I will have a few pages to cut out, I guess.  The good news is that I did write a 19 page scene involving a group of Moors, a dragon, and 11 Norsemen in a big fire, so I guess I'll cut that out since we can't have any fires or other characters.  Hmmm, why did I write all that anyways?

Oh well, I think I'm on track to have this finished by next Friday around midnight.

Please, you guys, no trying to hack into my computer to get my story.  You'll have to wait.

We got tons of our Aquatic Astronaut material online. The actual project will be done in december. It has an animated cartoon that goes with the music. We spent 3 years on it to date. I'll post send a link when i get back to the pc. All instrumental stuff. We even had a hip hop trak we cut out of it. Just didn't fit the space theme. Thanks 4 the listen, man.

OK, man.

Got 4-5 pgs done. Happy with what I have. I think this may be one of my best works. even though it may be confusing for others... lol.

I put together a playlist that consisted of:

Black Tape For A Blue Girl ("How Can You Forget Love")
Angelo Badalamenti  ("Twin Peaks" score)
Brian Eno ("Distant Hill")
P.O.D. ("Lie Down")
Sammy Hagar ("Heavy Metal")

I'm writing my pisstake first to get the fucker out of my head. I'll post it  in the general shorts section when done.

Jeff, pia and Rob(Sniper)?  I need your vague permission to use your names - but not your actual person - in it!  Well, i don't actually need Jeff's approval - like he would give a fuck anyway   lol.

Thenn I can start the brainstorming for my first ever horror piece! Excited!!  And funny people should mention they were worried a few would have similar ideas - i just made that obsrevation to my wife.

I made another observation about not getting a daily root but she told me to piss off...


sigh

OK, finished!  It clocked in at 81 pages, which I know is a bit long.  When I take out that 19 page fire scene, I'm down to 62, so that means I only have to chop out another 52 pages or so.

I'm thinking the big epic scene with all the long ships needs to go, unless I can disguise it to seem like it all is taking place inside the abandoned house.  Yeah, I'll cut it.

I should be done in a few hours.  I think it's my best work ever.  The characters are all so unique and well rounded.  Even Sparky and Wings of a Prayer come off like great characters.

Question...do zombies count as characters?

Good luck to all!!!!

Quoted from Don You only have three actors - two male and one female. (adults who can play between the ages of 18 to 80).

Now THAT's versatility.

Quoted from stevie I made another observation about not getting a daily root but she told me to piss off...

And that is why God invented sexy nymphomaniacs who don't care if your married, and brothels where they don't care that your ugly.

So that married women could concentrate on cleaning the house and cooking meals, throwing sex into the mix would just confuse them far too much.
