How's everyone doing?

Anyone struggling or need help?

I came across this article this morning by Michael Hauge. It's great. Especially for those of you who are a little newer at this.

First draft done

Working through the inevitable issues

Quite like it but I know it still has issues. It still requires the reader and viewer to buy into 'something' and that hasn't been tested.

I will need some reads....soon. Happy to share a read with others

Cheers

Great work, Reef! A first draft conceived and written in two weeks? Now, that really is impressive.

I'm only 40 pages in, myself. Aiming to hit the 60 page midpoint by this time next week. Still well on track... for now

Doesn't mean its good.

But I think I also got lucky. An idea I was struggling to plot came together, quickly....plus I had time

You can send it to me Bill.  

I'm still only 20 pages in

Been working non stop and had a family event over the weekend I'm still recovering from. I'll kick on this week.

And, good work Bill. The first draft complete! Nicely done.

Sadly, I won't be able to enter.  I have to work on the other screenplay since people have felt it's too wordy.  I had a cool idea in mind.

I guess I could try to write a feature in 3 weeks, but, that's a lot of writing....

I'm working on rewriting feature number 2 for the 250 thing at the moment. Then I can come back to this. I've also received a free entry into Scriptapalooza first look competition, so am also writing one of my most epic ideas (if not my most epic idea) for that. So, I'm juggling 3 features at the moment. Not to mention rewriting another this past few days. I will get this one done though too.

Best of luck Dustin

Not sure what I can add other than if you have a decent opportunity, give that your best shot, others come second

Thanks

I'm back on Saturday, so may fire over Sunday

It's still gatotales etc

Yeah, well luckily it is only rewrites that I need to do aside from the scriptapalooza script Even the 7wc is basically there, just needs a rewrite and a tighten. Once this second script goes to Scriptshadow I'll be down to just the two features. I'l put my effort into the 7wc script though too as that is also one of my old stories that I'd like to finally get off my board.

Just PM'd you a link

Thanks

I think I kind of slipped out of this competition, but it got me started on a script that I'm really excited about. I've done more writing than I have in months, so thanks a ton 7WC for getting me back in the game.  

I won't enter mine here because I think I really started to over think the mcguffin and I don't think I have one. I'm still not even entirely sure I know what a mcguffin is, the word makes me hungry though. Can't wait to read the scripts this competition conjures up (especially horror, it's only august but I've seen halloween decorations in stores and I'm itching).

I'm out as well, which doesn't sit very well with me tbh...but I haven't written a page. Been too busy planning a film.

Ah... I was looking forward to reading yours. By the way, I watched that dog film and had to switch it off. One of the most horrifying things I've ever seen.

I had to put my dog down a few years ago. Well, he was on his way out, passing out, defecating... he was going. My biggest regret was not letting him die at home. So, I watched your film and it disturbed me so much, I had to turn it off.

Good luck with the next one.
