Ok, mine is in! Pretty nervous now.

I'll take a look at the scripts posted and try give feedback on them all.


Did you change much brother?  I can't actually remember the exact feedback I gave you now as I delete all my sent messages.

Added a bit to the one you read. Just one extra scene.

Made a few subtle changes to the dialogue and think I got all the typos and grammatical errors you spotted, plus some I caught myself.

Really not sure what to think of it. I'm sure my mind will be a lot clearer after a few people give their thoughts.

Right, have started... 5 pages in and the protag wants to be the male lead character not the female lead... what's the rules on dual protags for this OWC?

I'm not going to worry about the 10 page intro piece as I'm still on hols, will be shooting for a first draft for 7 week deadline though. (Might end up being a bit tricky as I've a sniff of some spec TV work)

Quoted from Dreamscale
Very sad to see Max drop out like that before the first 10 are even submitted.

As I said earlier, IMO, one shouldn't even have anything written in a week's time when planning/plotting a feature, but to each their own.

Max, if I were you, I'd rethink being out, as you have 6 weeks to go, bro, which is more than enough time to complete this.



Seconded.


If you're working off a story you've had in mind from the past, maybe it's slightly different, but  I'm still formulating ideas and ideas for the structure at present.

Keep at it. There's no rush.

I agree with everyone, Max.

This time next week, you could feel different or even this time tomorrow. You could get the urge to write and then in under 7 weeks you'd have the first draft done.

Chill, take it easy and maybe come back to it later.

Eff it... I might just write two... or three. Just kidding on three. It would be a tall order. But I could do it if I wrote for eight hours a day most days. 4 hours writing usually means 10 freshly created pages for me. I do work too, but I work for myself, so my hours are mine to use as I wish, mostly. I'm lucky in that respect. Never could get along with working for other people though. 9-5 pretty much destroys a person's day, and will to live, I imagine. Not to mention the commute to work... a job in itself.

But, even if you can set aside two hours per day, that should be 5 pages per day. Possibly more if you have a weekend at home. Within 3 weeks you could have a first draft. Even if you're the type of writer that likes to write what could turn out to be pointless, detailed plans first, 7 weeks is a perfectly doable target.


Force yourself to finish. I wouldn't ordinarily advise that... but if it's your first feature, write the damned thing and get it out of the way. Once you've done one, then you can do another one. It's an achievement in itself, so it doesn't matter how the story turns out.

Yeah, clever clogs, but can you juggle or ride a unicycle at the same time  

I'm up p40 and rather like it so far. I spent some time plotting and will need to focus on the second half to avoid it wondering off. But it's good to write.

Wondering or wandering? I suppose either could apply depending on your genre, Bill?

I'm still wandering what is is as well

So far it has;

Thriller - tick, with a touch of darkish humour

Female lead - yes, but actually has turned into a buddy movie, with female lead

Low budget - fail, badly. It's just the way the story went.

It's the kind I'm sure someone could do without going way over the top but it's definitely not a single location story. So less £100k budget, more £1m...more if they thought it needed it.

It doesn't have to be low budget. It said low to moderate.

Dustin, you're a machine!
