Phil, are you trying to make a confession?

What did "the" ever do to you!?!?

Quoted from Shelton What did "the" ever do to you!?!?

The is always starting my sentences for me, I hate that.  And the is always pointing things out, like I don't see them.  The chair.  Duh! I know it's a chair and it's that one.  The doesn't need to tell me these things. The nerve of the.

Well, you could always start talking like Peter Sellers in "Murder By Death".

Mediocrity is everywhere.  Even in a group of the ten best runners in the world, one of those will be the best of the ten, one will be the worst, and the others are just the mediocre of the ten best.  But those mediocre runners shouldn't just give up.

'type' or 'typo'?

That one was on purpose.  Now you're mediocre!


Phil (need my glasses)

Tag! YOU'RE mediocre!

If anything is mediocre, it is this thread.

Come on, guys.  Read some OWC scripts or something.

Quoted from Shelton Much more fun than staying behind the scenes and deleting with an occasional slap on the wrist.

Oh, yeah.  It's coming.  **rubs delete finger**

1)  Get your own joke.

2)  I read them all.

3) Your last sentence is thoroughly inappropriate.  This is a family forum.

OOooo! Showdown at the mediocre thread.  Is it 12 noon yet?

Mod fight! Mod fight! YEEAAAH!

In other news - I'm scraping the theory of the mediocrity ceiling. Don't think it stands up to scrutiny. After all, writing's a feat of the imagination, right? Top athletes might be pyshical anomalies, but we don't have to have special mental powers in order to write a great screenplay.

Therefore, I'm working on a new theory, something about a 'spark of inspiration' that we all have but rarely tap into - the trick is to recognise when you have a great idea and utilise it. Keep in mind the guidelines/advice about what makes a good screenplay, but don't ignore yourself when you think you have a great idea/think of a good line/realise exactly where your final scene should take place. On the thread I linked to on Page 1, Dec said something like 'talent is the amount of effort you put into life'. I like that. Live, observe, contemplate...and your writing will reflect that.

It's a work in progress, of course.

Anyway...MOD FIGHT!

Not as exciting as you might think, I'm afraid.
