Quoted from LC

I'm still stumped   too Henry. By that I mean I've lots of vague semi formed ideas rattling around in my noggin, but nothing concrete that I can settle on yet. I think of something, then discard it, think of something else...And on it goes. Hopefully something will win out.

Two things: As Pia said last time (I think she said it)... This is not a race.

And, Don has stipulated the first 10 is optional to post.

Also, I'm not letting the McGuffin get in the way at the moment. Get the overall story first.



Thanks, Libby/Pia/Bill for reminding me we're still in the first week of this. Who knows,  something might gel.

I've got 10 pages and I'm going to submit them. Don't know if I even like them though. The feedback will help determine whether I keep it the way it is, I suppose.

Not that I'm the best at reviewing the first ten pages, but the thing I need to remember is that the first ten don't resolve anything. It's meant to open doors.

The questions I will ask myself when I review the first ten are

Does it make sense ? Have I lost the reader?

Is it interesting? - would someone want to read on?

Does it feel I like a film ? could this be sold?

Can you envisage the type of film this will be? Not in terms of guessing where it will go, but getting a feel for the genre, pace, characters etc

All good fun.

Now, let's read those first ten and see if any of my are ticked off!

Quoted from dead by dawn
My first 10 is pretty lurid.


Mine are too... and it stays that way throughout. As I said though, this is an old story and it was always pretty shocking.

I'm not trying to shock, I genuinely feel the subject matter calls for it. I also always write where the story demands I go.

I'll read your first ten if you feel they're ready. I know we haven't always seen eye to eye but I'll be fair and positive in my comments.

Everybody else can be surprised on Friday I guess, lol.

Ya missed the boat Dream!

I'm keeping it under wraps until it's uploaded now.  Dustin and Pia's feedback should be good enough for a quick polish.

Thanks for the offer! Much appreciated!

Hi all,

How strict is the page-count for posting the first 10? Specifically, if I submit 11 pages instead of 10, am I going to become the outcast of the boards?

The scene on the 10th page leaks over onto the 11th, and I'm really not a fan of cutting of things halfway...

P.s.

If anyone wants to swap entries, I will have time tonight to read through a few from the bar in my hotel

No, you're good. The ultimate goal here is to finish a feature. The one week thing is only for those who'd like feedback on the beginning.

Finally got a workable concept,  I think.


Not even at the scene planning stage yet, though. Won't be any ten pages from me.
