SUPER - SOME SMALL COASTAL TOWN IN FLORIDA

We better head to that beat up motel.

                       JEFF
Why's that? Because of the massive hurricane coming our way?

                       ANGRY BEAR
No. Because I say so...

SUPER - SOME SMALL COASTAL TOWN IN FLORIDA

                       ANGRY BEAR
We better head to that beat up motel.  We're only like four feet from the safety that it will yield us.

                       JEFF
Why's that? Because of the massive hurricane coming our way?  If we were to stay here any longer than 4 or 5 seconds, we would probably perish, due to the roaring tide, which is seconds from our feet.

                       ANGRY BEAR
No. Because I say so...

I will ravish you, my mistress of the dark...but maybe that's not right, because you are of Nordic descent and have light hair, so I should call you my mistress of the light, or of Swedish descent.

You need to work on your dialogue Jeff. Keep it as short as possible!

Ever had a moment when you threw a pencil and see if it would stick in a celing tile?



I'm having such a moment.
Stay tuned

Finished but very dialogue heavy, basically talking heads but I tried my best to avoid it.

Good luck, everyone.

I hope to see that the people who went with a dialogue heavy approach put some extra time into making that dialogue jump off the page.   In other words, if you're depending on the dialogue to tell your story then it should be entertaining and character-rich dialogue.   At least IMHO.

Mine, as well, is pretty heavy on the dialogue.
I'm trying to find some good action to go along with it.
Thank god I still have a few more days to write.

Hopefully by the end it evens out.

What?!

I haven’t even got an idea yet… I better get a move on.

You won’t be alone, I promise you that. It’s going to be very hard to avoid IMO. The scenario needs it, especially as you need to throw in some meaningful backstory. Obviously there are other ways to get this across, but I’m not nearly talented enough to pull it off without dialogue. This is a really good challenge and I emphasize the word challenge.

At least you’ve now got a few days to give it a good look over, Mo.

First draft done. Would be best described as "Fugly"

At least I have a few days to determine whether it can be made fit for purpose.

It will be interesting to see how far people push the criteria. Eg odd and interesting, supra natural event etc as it is quite prescriptive.

With the  entries in on Friday i must check for when they will be released for reading. I really hope it is on Saturday as I will have some time.

Inner Journey - Page Awards Finalist - Bluecat semi final
Grieving Spell - winner - London Film Awards.  Third - Honolulu
Ultimate Weapon - Fresh Voices - second place

I have two odd but interesting T-rex mimes at a run down circus verbosely discussing the supernatural event that just occurred five minutes before FADE IN that made them blather endless exposition as they watch out the tent flap window SAS paratrooper forces deploy from helicopters to assault the Soviet submarine the hurricane just vomited onto the parking lot.

FADE IN is right-justified, right?
