But my gentle jibing aside ... I have to thank Zack for coming up with this challenge. Why? Because parameters are incredibly creatively stimulating for me. And ironically - as I've been requesting short page counts - I've now come up with an idea within these parameters that I love so much I'm writing it as a feature.
So I'm out of this challenge - researching my new feature. But big thanks to Zack. I've been mulling over my next feature for weeks and now I'm all set!
Happy to have been able to inspire you with the challenge. You should still join in. Write out the short you had in mind, maybe you'll get a better idea of were to take the feature based on the feedback you receive.
No idea how you guys manage to go from challenge to fully fleshed out script in just 7 days... The only element of horror mine will have is how badly it's going to be written
Suppose I better get some words down
Shockingly, some of these peeps get it done the weekend it's announced!
My advice is not to rush to put down words. Flesh it out in your head first, then start the writing. It's the creative part that takes the time, not the writing.
I'm stoked you guys are enjoying this challenge. Getting this thing together has been a ton of fun. Really hoping for a good turn out so I can get the opportunity to host future challenges.
Can't wait to read all of your scripts and see what kinda crazy ideas you guys come up with.
It's not all that strong... And, I'm not sure more time/work is going to help it.
I'll have to decide whether or not to embarrass myself.

I truly don't think so. This one smells to me. If I don't enter it, I'll send it to you. You can tell me if I'm wrong. But, maybe I'll enter it and take my lumps.
We'll see. Horror's not my thing... and this script isn't convincing me otherwise.
