As hard as it is, I suppose you just really need to believe in what you are trying to write.
I read mine a few hours ago and found it hilarious. Unintentionally funny of course. I was actually laughing out loud. It was so silly, so inept, lame, unoriginal, etc. It was just plain ridiculous.
So I've worked on it a little, and now I feel a little more comfortable with it. It's still questionable if people will like it, but I think it meets the terms. Ultimately, just keep going. And relax a little, write what you really want, have a drink, smoke a cigarette, have a cup of tea - relaxation helps loads
I wrote a first draft of something but it's so bad that I'm not really compelled to fix it up. I have another idea I'm toying with that I'll try if I have the time in the next two days.
Good luck to everyone who's gonna enter. Those iScripts are mighty cool.
I havent written a script since a year ago today, I've spent the last year re-writing and editing new and ancient material, so I'm well out the game haha.
This does seem like a good, fun challenge and it's open as hell. I felt limited by it's unlimitness haha. But it feels good to write again, even if it results in me being humiliated it's refreshing to write something new!
Plus, I'm eager to read the scripts that are pretty quick to read, judge it by the comments left, and admire how the hype builds.

Just finished my first draft. Came in at just over 12 pages and I love it! Can't really say it's gothic horror but the tone is about right. I'm going to polish it up a bit, get it to the right page count and submit.
finished mine but my descriptors feel rushed (i hate it when that happens). oh well, i'll try to jazz it up a little tonight.
regardless, i hated the genre when it was first announced. after coming up with an idea however, i kind of like it. i find i write much better stories when i have constraints. now my writing may not be any better (due to the time restraints) but thank god for rewrites.
Hey guys, I'm new on this site and I've got trouble writing my script. I've never written anything but it says "it's open to everybody" + english is not my maternal language. Do you have some advise for me? I wrote something but I don't know if I will submit it...I feel like it's really bad. I've got only tomorrow nights to make some changes. Well It's late I'm going to bed, I hope a good night sleep with help me!
Hey there. Glad you could join. Best thing might be for you to go to the older OWC thread and read some scripts, especially the ones that received warm reviews. Usually those give you a good idea of format and proper writing. If you have a specific question, post it here, someone will help.
I'm almost done mine. I had high hopes for creating a "contender", but failed at doing so. Hopefully I have a story that a few will enjoy. I always learn something, every time I do an OWC, so worth entering even when my work did not go as well as planned. Some day!

What is your maternal language? Why not post it in that language? Hey, we're multinational aren't we?!
I'm out. Got an editing session tomorrow night for a Halloween short I did with my daughter. I had a story plotted, but failed to come up with a good title and I can't start typing without that. Good luck everyone. I'll read as many as I can.
I'm pretty sure I'm sitting this one out to. I came up with a couple of ideas but neither inspired me to finish the script. It's getting late and I don't think I'll have the time to write one now. I hate missing October OWCs too! So good luck to those that did enter.
