Quoted from Zack
Man, I was super confident about my script last night as I was going to bed. Re-reading it now, this may be the worst thing I've ever written. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with for this round. Gotta feeling there's gonna be a lot of weird stories this go around.


This go around?

Three hours later and I have something resembling a script that somehow fits the most ridiculous criteria imaginable together.

I think this round isn't going to be kind to me but at least I have something to submit.

Going to have some lunch, let it settle for a bit, then come back and do my final edit.

At least it sounds like most people are struggling, I don't feel so alone

I'm done, completely done. Polished the turd as much as I can.

And now I can't submit because of stupid Australian internet! (currently typing this on my phone) So frustrating.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to be in.

I just cranked mine out in under two hours. I don't know if it's the simplicity of it or the lightness of the tone but it flowed really easily. I kinda like it, which means it's probably not comedy, not a good story, and doesn't use a whistle or sewer properly.

I'll barely have time to polish it tomorrow so whatever it is, I'm stuck with it. But at least it's done!

You guys always downplay your entries but manage to come up with gold... you're not fooling me.

I haven't started mine yet - I was hoping to get some time today but a finance meeting with the CEO has jam-packed my day. I'll try and pen it down in my lunch, I will lose some serious marks in this round lol

“You’re typing an awful lot into your laptop.”

“Just taking notes of the meeting.”

“And why do you keep giggling every time ‘Priority Number One’ and ‘Priority Number Two’ are mentioned?”

“Pffft! ‘Number Two...’”

Matt angrily jabs the backspace button on his laptop.

CEO
Matt, what are you doing?

Matt
Deleting all these shitty "notes" I've written.

CEO
well calm down, they're only notes.

MATT
Only notes? only notes!

Matt forcfully stands, knocking his chair back.
He points a finger at CEO.

MATT
Fuck you! you don't know the stress I'm under.

Matt storms out of the room.
