Ten pages in fifteen hours, including five for sleep. Also, after starting the idea three days late. I just wish I knew more about witches to make it more inventive, though... =(
I'm milling over my idea as we speak -- I'm so wrapped up on meeting my deadline I hate to pull away from my script even for a second, but I've got something pretty good here for this OWC. I think, even if it ended up sucking, people would check it out for the name alone...
But needless to say, I've got an idea no one has ever really tried with witches. Hell, I've never even wrote about witches before I don't think?? I need to go back and scroll through my work and see. 10+ years tends to pile up in the stockroom of your computer. You never know what you got until you find it again.
Anyways, it'll be tough to get this one in on time -- last time I remember writing my entire OWC in the span of 5 hours and sending it to Don like 2 min before deadline. I hope that this one isn't a repeat if I decide to forgo it. Luck be with me.
I've tweaked my damn 10 pages over and over - adding and removing characters, sequences and plot points - but I think I've got it to a place that I like.
Will be interesting to see if it's good enough to continue.
Definitely out here because I need to do my ten pages for the Movie Poet contest. That will definitely take up all spare thought cycles for the next week or two.
Up to 6, got a couple of ideas for page 10, should be an inciting incident going by certain guidelines (that I agree with) and the fact I want people to want to read more. Bit wierd just letting it dangle after that though!! How should we finish our ten pages? A FADE OUT seems inappropriate, should we just put a CUT TO: then leave it? or just... leave it? How will the reader know we haven't cut the scene off half way through which is against the rules?
I'm officially out -- Can't do. I tried last night after completing some page revisions on my current script to get to page 5. Just no way I'm gonna be able to give the OWC the attention it needs and I don't wanna do another rush job like the last two.
Great idea -- fantastic name for the direction I was going with, just got around to it too late. Also, since this is 20th/21st century I don't know if mine would've been disqualified because the 1st 2 pages are set in 1663 New England.
Maybe I'll post the 10 pages after April 2nd.
Wish everyone the best. It's a good challenge... It gave me another idea -- that's always a plus.

I'm actually thinking of just writing 'The End...For Now' or something similar. Gets the point across, I think
It's went through a pile of rip and slash that I've rather enjoyed. Not sure if it will read as my directional intent, but just the same, it conjures to my mind the ache that wrestles inside. With that, all attempts at humour might fail.
Balt - I was really looking forward to it! (Seriously - you described it as a great idea, and got me curious. Darn it, you can't pull it off with an all-nighter?
I think if people don't make the deadline, they can still enter it the following week for Cornetto's 7WC. Not sure about that, though.
Anyway, I submitted tonight. My usual too many characters, too complicated, too much exposition style. I have to win Sandra back, I didn't get her vote last time. She's usually my only fan.
Nope, not gonna tell her which is mine. You have to guess, Sandra. You better know my writing by now!
