Dammit. I just thought of an idea. And I by NO MEANS have time to read the scripts, so I won't write it until after the OWC's over, just for my own benefit... :/
Darn it. And I did that with the superhero concept, too....
Just write.
You have the credits. Use them. Youre the female goddess, well to me ...
We all know the those we re trying to call out. It's not you.
This is the thing. If you are an OWC reg - we accept you. If you turn up, and don't take part, that's different.
I have some fine tuning - not tonight, I'm pissed . Always works out bad, I sense.

My first OWC in years since I was without a computer for a while, but when I did enter , I made it a point to read every script. Since I entered this one, I will be reading them all again.

Think I'm going to skip writing for this one...I'll only have time to read about 15 and if that's not good enough...then you guys enjoy the challenge. I usually only get about half of the bunch read...just too busy.
I ended up writing two more drafts and just submitted the fourth about a half hour ago.
I felt a few sound effects would help bring the reader into the script's world. That was the third draft; the fourth was determining whether any of them need to be capped (as dictated by industry standard).
On average, I'm not too crazy about capping sounds, especially if it makes the script read like Batman.
But in this case, I felt it made the script more alive and increased the tension.
Sent mine in the other day. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get back to screenwriting after two years writing prose. I thought it would be harder to get back to breaking up scenes and dialogue.
As quite often with me, it started out in one direction and then went off in another! It was only about half way through it that I suddenly decided how it was going to end.
It took a couple of days to write (I revised as I wrote rather than go back - when I write I find that I can't rewrite until I've put aside the story for a while and can look at it with fresh eyes later, which obviously wasn't an option really here).
I'm on holiday at the moment so fully intend to read and comment on as many - if not all - other scripts.
I decided not to submit as I'm not interested in rewriting my story. So I thought why making this many people read it... Also, not sure about tge time to do all the reads. Good luck to all and I'll read as many as I can nonetheless as it's fun to see what you came up with.
I submitted mine! We will see soon if you all enjoy it, or devour it like last time. I personally think this one is much better than my January one, but maybe that's just because I am blind to the flaws existing in it.
People with creativity problems will have problems with limitations. And please don't get your priorities mixed up at this point of your career. It's a dangerous thing. Break into the industry, then try and fix the world.
I don't think that's fair at all. I think many of the people on here are pretty creative, it doesn't mean that a piece as narrow as this one can lead to that many stories. If it was stuck in a cab WITH NO BUDGET, then sure. That one about flying cars and whatnot sounds awesome.
For the elevator OWC, Bill wrote perhaps the most intense short I've ever read, and he should partner up with abuse agencies across both continents. It's that strong.
So, I don't think the "stuck in a cab" bugs me as much as the low budget. I get why we have them. If you ever get to work in TV, which is much easier to break into rather then movies, then you have to write whatever the producers want you to do.

Oh, Janet and Dena, submit. You both have been here a long time and have done a lot of stuff. The issue with last OWC had more to do with a newbie not doing much. I'm sure if you explained why you were busy, I'd be fine with it, as have many others.
Good luck to all. I have an idea, and let me tell you, I doubt anyone will guess which one is mine. Lots of blood and guts. Er, wait,...
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
I wonder though, if I wasn't constantly self medicating, if I'd actually give a bollocks too? I'll never find out. I'll just have to chalk it up to one of life's mysteries.
I revised as I wrote rather than go back - when I write I find that I can't rewrite until I've put aside the story for a while and can look at it with fresh eyes later, which obviously wasn't an option really here.
This entire thing is a contradiction. If you can't rewrite until it has been put aside for a while, then how can you do it when it hasn't been put aside for a while?
Your "attested" complainers, I bet you mean me as one of them, perceive you, coming from the side and complaining on their complaining, as showing hubris, with a lack of self-reflection. I do so at least.
It's obvious you like emotion and argument. And it's okay, it gets you active.
Once or twice a year, I stand opposite to a row of those emotion-followers who heat things up and place themselves above. Others do so too, standing against many from time to time. I like to see them doing so. They amaze me. Sometimes I also find myself on the other side.
There's also a lot of smalltalk here. It's fun, nobody gets hurt and so on. Ahh, waste of time, I forgot. So, I hope the board can soon await your cover to cover reads and productivity…
Well, then, on the other side, perhaps my argument was no complaining rather a free expression I stated… wait, didn't you tell something about that. You know, I just care about here sometimes, even if it means the dices roll. If you'd read my posts in this thread more attentively, you would have seen that I argued for impulse and gave other perspective. I invested my time and didn't waste it.
Whatever, I'll read a lot of OWC scripts anyway, as always. If I like the topic or not, doesn't matter.
I can assure you it was not aimed at you specifically - had it been, I would have mentioned you. However, as you chose to take offence at a generally themed post regarding writing, I have deleted it, to save you further mental anguish.
Just for the record, my original post was non-specific and writing related - you chose however to respond by making personal and inaccurate assumptions about my character. Trolling doesn't work with me - I won't rise to personal attacks, so don't waste your time.
This entire thing is a contradiction. If you can't rewrite until it has been put aside for a while, then how can you do it when it hasn't been put aside for a while?
