lol! I almost gave up but now I'm going to finish up

Quoted from tomson But I'm apparently known for being deceptive

Aren't all women? teehee.  

I look forward to reading these though.

I'm almost finished!

I'm not late, am I?

the deadline for all submissions is 11;59 tonight.

I have a question/suggestion. Would it be possible for the writer who wins the iScript award to have a day or two to do a rewrite before the script is sent to iScript? I mean, if readers find errors or blaring plot holes, it would be nice to give the winning author an opportunity to fix those first so we can send iScript the very best.

All that should be fixed beforehand.

You won't have the option of fixing things after a producer has already read the script, will you?

I think I finished my script!

I’m sorry. You must have misunderstood me. I wasn’t asking you.

[EDIT - oh, and by the way, it’s very possible - and likely - your script will be rewritten after a producer has read it.]

I have been spending four of the allotted seven days on my story's ending. I just couldn't come up with something. Finally, this morning, something trickled into my mind. I hope it works.

By the way, I agree with Breanne. Would be nice to give the winner a chance to polish up his/her script first.

I know you weren't asking me.

Would you tell a producer, "Hey man, can I change my script. I need to fix a plot hole." after you've already submitted your work?

I hope not.

You should make your script its very best before submitting.

Listen. I’m not going to argue with you. If a producer assigns you one week to write a script, he’s going to understand that it won’t be perfect - that it will need a rewrite. And this is not an assignment for a producer.

You can’t even comprehend what the theme is so your advice on assignment writing carries little weight.

I’m done with you.


Breanne

To pile on here.

What Breanne is asking, is if the winner will be able to take the comments they receive on their script, and apply them to a rewrite before the actual recording is done.  Much like a rewrite is done based on notes received from a producer.

It's a valid question/suggestion in my opinion.

I apologize for causing a ruckus.

I didn't even think about the notes given. I just thought you wanted to fix your own mistakes.

The LAST thing i want to do is start an argument...But there really is NO need to be so rude to others who were just trying to help and offer their own advice.


Comments such as "You can’t even comprehend .." and "I’m done with you." are kind of uncalled for.

ttfn.

Kind of?

They're totally uncalled for.

Hey Chomico,

I’m sorry. You would really have to read the whole thread to understand my reaction. There are some who want to start an argument over every little thing. ABSteel is one of those people, in my opinion. I wouldn’t have been so rude to him but I felt he was rude to me first. This is the second time I’ve posted in this thread and he’s tried to steer toward conflict by debating over simple things.

When I pointed out that the boat is the theme, he wanted to argue over whether or not a boat can be a theme.

When I asked if a writer might have time to rewrite in case readers find errors, he argues and then comes back and says, oh I didn’t realize you were talking about what the readers might point out. The fact that he responds argumentatively before he even reads or understands the post he’s responding to tells me he only wants to argue.

So I apologize for my frustration but it’s annoying when some half cocked hotshot tries to start an argument over everything you say.

You really need to read the whole thread before you judge me.
