Good for you Sean. You never know who'll be watching this thread.  

If it's anything like my first two 7WC entries, they'll be wholly disappointed when the two months ends and I have no finished script. That said, I did finish Christmas Story for the third one, so maybe I'm over the hump. Who knows? You going to throw one out there, too, Pia? You know you have to... =)

I planned to enter -- and am still hoping to. However, I've been preparing all week for an interview for a funded PhD program. That being said, the interview has finished, I have an idea and I still have two days before the deadline!

So I should be able to crank something out before then

Let me make this clear, this isn't a contest. If you don't have 5-10 pages by Friday, it doesn't mean you can't continue on. The goal here is to write a feature. If you write the whole darn thing in the last week, that's fine. And, unlike the OWC, you're free to discuss your script and ask for help here if you get stuck. I noticed Don wrote that the scripts should be submitted anonymously. I'm not sure why. I'll have to ask him. Again, these 7WC are different that way compared to the OWC. At least it has always been so in the past.

Sean, I wasn't going to participate since I'm too busy with other life stuff right now, but if the turnout is low, I might just pull some all nighters near the end. I'm weird like that.  

I seriously just don't have time. Or I would. It's not like it's a difficult one, and I actually already have something that I could rewrite to fit. It's a thriller I never listed here that I just never got around to doing a second draft on. If I do get some time, I'll throw down a quick rewrite and enter it.

Quoted from Grandma Bear So, how many of you are giving this a go? If you are, how is it going?

30 pages and it's going pretty damn good.  Already sent in the first 10 pages, which are probably the most intense 10 pages I've written.

It's a violent, thought-provoking tale of revenge.  

I'd say more, but it does say we're not allowed to state what we've written.  Or am I reading it wrong again? lol.

I hate u leegion. Lol.

I have the idea. But it's writing it that's going to suck. I apologize in advance for those who are going to read it.

I notice that it says mid to high budget, but I don't know what that means exactly.

Well, the good news is I've gotten most of my story beats in order, even a few character arcs thought through. I know where I'm starting, I know where I'm going and I can see a lot of the scenery along the way. The bad news?

I've written jack down yet. Time to focus on that first ten I suppose.

Hey, good going you guys! Glad to see you're along for the ride. These feature challenges are tough, but IMHO they are very satisfying when you have at least a first draft when it's over. Then you can start on the rewrites with all the comments you will receive!  

As far as the budget thing goes, I have no clue. I was asked earlier this year to write a sci-fi that takes place at least 50% of the time on a spaceship. Normally, I would think BIG budget for something like that, but it turns out they had access to a spaceship set for free and wanted to use it. You just never know. My suggestion would be to not go for BIG budget, but not to worry too much. If the story and characters are strong enough, the script can always be modified to fit the budget.  

On page 9...

Looking forward to seeing all the kidnapping scripts.  

Shawn.....><

Yeah, well, prepare to be disappointed. I'm bringing back an old idea of mine from another 7WC (the amnesia 7WC, if anyone remembers) and it has nothing to do with a kidnapping. =)

Man - I alsmot forgot about this one with MP news and all... But I have my idea outlined and everything, so I'm going to write one. Not sure about submitting hte first ten on time but I'll try my best. The idea came from MP logline challenge. Then I wrote pieces of the script and then threw it away. But the outline stayed. And I'm going to write it.

Quoted from Ledbetter On page 9... Looking forward to seeing all the kidnapping scripts.   Shawn.....><

I have no idea what you're talking about.  Who would write a kidnapping story?

Quoted from Grandma Bear So, how many of you are giving this a go? If you are, how is it going?

I'm going to give this a go. Been flat out this week and was thinking I wasn't going to get anything in until my other half pointed out 5-10 pages which is surely doable...

Quoted from khamanna Not sure about submitting hte first ten on time but I'll try my best... '

NB: Khamanna - the five page minimum. We're all so used to OWC's being ten pages and I'm assuming that what might first go up could well change and evolve a lot over the 7 weeks, right?

Quoted from Grandma Bear I noticed Don wrote that the scripts should be submitted anonymously. I'm not sure why. like that.

I really like the idea of anonymity for the first lot. It means we can get feedback for our first 5-10 without prejudice, so I think that would be good if it stayed.
