Quoted from JEStaats


Enter a 1-5 page scene. Brilliant!


I don’t know what this means.

I am terrible at explain things lol.
The challenges here are for writers to create something new from scratch,I would like one to finish something I’ve already started. So at the start of the challenge it doesn’t matter if a writer already has 50 pages or 0 pages written for a feature. The first deadline could be 4 weeks to write and post act 1, then these are read and notes/thoughts given, then move to the next deadline... end goal is for everyone to have that first draft done by the end. I guess more like a structured and organised WIP review swap.
My biggest issue now with writing is motivation, I need a few kicks up the but to get going.

1) Write a bad one

Ah, gotcha. I was thinking the challenge could be to submit a 1-5 page scene from a feature that you're currently working. Title, logline, and a brief summary for context up to the submitted scene.

It works in my head but my head seems to work on a different wavelength than others.

That could work too but probably less in a challenge sense and more in a way of opening up the WIP section and making that bigger and more interactive. Anything really that focuses more on what we are currently working on to garner some thoughts/reviews/encouragement/motivation

I do enjoy the OWC but for me they can act more as a distraction from the features I’m writing. Who knows, I’m just waffling now

Definitely like the in between quickie challenges. Five, three pages max. 48 hr deadline. Stuff like that.

Also I really liked the tournament challenge we had where you went head to head with other writers. Elimination, winner moves on. That was fun and competitive and definitely held interest.

Hmm...

Quoted from LC

All I know is people often used to gather for a Skype chat especially on the eve of OWCs.



Maybe SS should have a Discord server for live chats and even voice chats.

Not sure Skype chatting would be beneficial due to time differences to all the SS users worldwide. But in saying that it would helpful to someone like myself who would like to get to know people better who could help me with my writing. And it’s friendly.  


If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.
