Made some progress, which is nice as i was going nowhere for a good few hours.
I'm still going to do the beginning of a feature as this suits me at the moment, but i think it is great if others just do a short. However, i will make sure that this is known so they can be compared differently.
So far i have a title, logline and the principle characters - i quite like it! Mind you i"m finding it hard to name them.
The beginnings are usually not a problem but for some reason i need to break into this idea. The first line, first scene is deserting me at the moment.

I just started thinking about it an hour ago. Been busy with other stuff. Full plate this week, too. The neat thing about things like this is that it forces your mind to go where it would not have, and that's a good thing. Who knows what can come out of it.
I'm going to write a found footage survival movie about 3 people looking for a witch in the woods. I think it will make millions.
I'd write it from the witches prospective, though... Like, instead of following the 3 idiots in the woods and their footage of finding a witch -- have the witch making her own documentary about finding 3 idiots in the woods and her found footage.
The OWC will not discriminate based on age, sex, race, weight or sexual orientation of any magic users during OWCs that are announced in February and end in March but also fall within the same year as the end of the Mayan calendar.
Amazing what you can find in this rule book if you can read the really small print.
At the present, I have absolutely NOTHING. I may or may not be able to get into this. If I do, it will be a ODC (one day challenge) for me. This week, family issues will have me on a tight leash. *sigh*
Really hope I can get something up for it though. Will try .....
Finally, after 2 days, I got myself a name I'm happy with . I'm finding it hard to open the story though because I know there is a 95% chance I will change the beginning. Guess time will tell though...
Didn't think coming up with a good idea when the genre and theme are presented on a silver platter would be so hard! Hopefully inspiration strikes before the deadline, I'd love to participate in my first OWC!
Well, I finally got back to my computer today, to look at the OWC. I wish I knew more about the witch sub-genre. Whenever I write about a topic I don't know so well, the end result is pretty awful.
I do have an idea I want to rock, but four days to research witches, formulate it, write it out and make it look presentable is a pretty tall order. Right now, it's 40-60 against.
