I'll never do that again. I'd rather they went naturally. Might not be pretty, but none of it is. Takes a lot to get to me... your film really affected me. I actually watched it a few weeks ago, it's still sitting with me and it always will. You did an excellent job and I couldn't even watch it all. But now that I know, I won't be making the same mistake.

On a lighter note, I'm now working on this 7WC script again.

Don't worry about what it says in the film...I think that's just artistic licence. I don't think they suffer.

It sounds believable enough to work on film, but I don't think it's actually true.

Hope not, anyway.

I hope it isn't true either.  Putting your pets down is seriously one of the hardest things you can do.  You aren't losing a pet, you are losing a family member.

I was bothered by the movie too.  It's how we became friends, started talking about that movie.  I can't wait to see more stuff from him, and from you Dustin.

I'm very sorry to hear this, guys. It always happens though. It's tough. It's not like whipping up a short in a week. I appreciate everyone giving it a shot though. Anything anyone of us can do to change your minds?

Sure can.  Rewrite my screenplay by tomorrow, fix all the shorts for the Impact, and find me a spine that works.  That's for starters.

Let me know when you get any of them.  I'm taking another nap...

I want a beer, and I don't even like beer....

Oh Pia, can you please change your icon back?  Every time I see it now, I think someone new has joined and hijacked your account....

It absolutely had NOTHING to do with you being hot....

Really



You believe me, right?????

I forgot all about The Impact scripts!!! That's what I get for waiting until the last minute!

Beer is a food group, Dan...

My avatar is a still from a feature I wrote.  

Regarding the 7WC, how's everyone else doing? Last year, I ended up writing one in two weeks because I thought no one else was going to enter anything, but then there were several entered once the deadline hit.

I started writing something I was quite happy with the other week then was reading a post from Anthony re dual protags -he was querying whether there could be both - thinking to myself - no silly, it has to have a 'female lead' - looked mine over again and realized my story was male protag/male lead even though the female featured in a major role. Head slamming moment - can't believe my female had slipped from front and centre.

Can't simply reverse the roles - tried but it doesn't work. Suffice to say, it's back to the drawing board for me. Still hoping I can use my original premise in some way but who knows...

I'm doing a heavy rewrite too. Trying a new angle with the characters. If I can do it, you can too. For me the female lead is the most important thing. I'm not too fussed about the Macguffin.

I'm doing pretty bad, might just be at square one. Maybe I'll still meet you folks at the finish line, though. We'll see!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Dustin. I dunno... I'm going to put my head down this week and start all over again. Still just under four weeks to go, so maybe, and I'll give it a good shot.

DS, hang in there. Keep going at it. You never know when inspiration might hit.

Wow, you're gonna start over with just 4 weeks?  You are very brave.

I thought I was stretching myself too thin with the 250 contest and the shorts for the Impact and then this.  But, if you are gonna try, I might too....

Keep going folks.

If anybody wants to run a concept past me, without hitting the boards, feel free to PM

Once the story is there it takes but a week to get it down. My original is OK. I just want to try a new angle with two of the mains.. actually turn them into antags... and one of the bit players is now becoming the main. That has changed the story quite a lot too. So it's essentially a complete rewrite... but I am able to keep the main antag. She's still pretty cool. Lot of female parts in mine, in fact all but one of the mains are female. 4 main female parts with one male.

My entry has begun to snowball quickly... 60 pages in. Still a little way away from the midpoint. I will be surprised if the final thing clocks in anywhere below 120. Not worrying about that for now, though. First thing will be to finish!

And, importantly, I am still on track for finishing on time.

Sounds really interesting. Good luck with it. How'd the 250 entry come along? Get it finished in time?
