I have notice quite a significant drop in the number of posts on SS lately and was wondering WHY?

Is everyone away on holidays ?

Most of the main threads have not had posts for a week or two ? Where RU all ?

My house is in uh...turmoil for the next two weeks...COMPANY. So writing in the closet and sneaking on here when I can In two weeks I'm going to have a go get drunk party then back to the real world!

It's been, for lack of a better description, fucking hot and humid where I am with no AC and I haven't been in the mood to do anything writing-related. I haven't even wanted to think about it. It's just too damn hot (although heat is fine but the 72 dewpoint is just insane).

You have to remember that most of the members range from the northern hemisphere so they're enjoying the summer months at the moment meaning more days out and holidays.

It could also be down to the lack of new material on the site at the moment which could tie into the above with Don being away at the moment?

Hasn't been that bad, has it?

I've been busy since filming Them That's Dead last weekend.  Takes a long time to watch through all the footage, sort them and mark them, getting it all ready for editing. I also have a backlog of scripts to read which I feel bad about. All that and then regular life stuff like my daughter's wedding coming up...little things like that.  

It doesn't get hot in the states does it ? Hee Hee

I have been to the Northern part of Western Australia and encountered 56.5 degrees Celsius.
That's about 140 Fahrenheit. Now that's hot.

I guess you guys must be out getting hammered.

When is Don back ? And when do new post start to come on line ?

Haven't alot of time lately for looking at Simplyscripts. Still trying to wrestle a feature into shape and it just won't submit. Plus, the usual long days at work, killer commute, family stuff etc etc. Only for my iPhone, I wouldn't get to read or post on SS at all.

Now that I'm gainfully employed again, I have to put a couple hours of work in each day.  I also have to spend a couple hours each day swimming, catching rays, and throwing more than a few cold ones back.

But, my biggest problem is chasing skirt and the "loads" of time necessary when a successful hunt comes to fruition.  Sometimes you go after a bird in the hand, but end up with 2 bushes...  

Anyways, rest assured, I just finished the final, final draft of Fade to White over the weekend and will be reposting today or tomorrow, complete with new logline. So, once that's up, you just wait to see all the posting going on.

Lol! England's having the worst summer ever...seriously.  We had more rain the other day than we usually get in the entire month.  We've not had a decent day since April so I guess we've got no excuse.

I've noticed it has been a bit quiet but I guess most members, like me, are busy with work and the like.  I've been writing but not reading enough.

There does seems to be a summer slow down. save for the organized events.
True, I haven't read as much here lately.
I've been posting and reading less SS scripts, but for good reason.

That time is going to projects with industry attachments.
And doing good coverage for one of them opens doors for me.

So, mostly now I read off site stuff from SS folks that are putting their work in play.
It's a bummer I can't post my new material here...
But I got hired for another short, and that one I can post here before production!

Regards,
E.D.

Don's too busy knocking back brew to post any new scripts.

Seriously though, it's just hot and it's summer and everyone's celebrating.  It's hard to find time to write (except in "sunny" Florida, where it's rained for the past four days).
Once things cool down and people get back into the groove of hating their lives, I'm sure this place will get active again.

I was hating my life for far too long.  Now, I'm lovin' every minute of it.  Too many girls, too little time to even think about writing.

It's a slippery slope really. Summer slows things down on the internet and those of us who spend a lot of time in from of the computer keep hitting "refresh" on the browser but nobody posts, so we don't post. It's like watching paint dry.

Work family work summer work hot work drunk

Thanks All,

The general consensus it that it is Tooooooo  HHHHHooooottttt, that answers my question.

It is cold where I am so ATM it is hard to get the fingers working.

For new members on SS, this thread shows you all the regulars on SS (Most are here)
so get to know their names and be respectful of them, more than likely it will be these guys that will be reading your screenplays.
Piss them off and you're goose is cooked. Hee Hee
