Wish I could say it was because of the heat  

I've been away on holiday and I'm only starting to get back into my daily SS routine

Time, as you know:

Is compressing.

All of the excess in choices (physical, virtual, spiritual... or any name you might apply) are putting pressure upon us to make "the ultimate choice".

I don't think "the ultimate choice" is one specific choice, but one specific "intention".

Due to all of the above, I've had to make the choice to be "present" with people that needed such. I am speaking like this:

You know ladies and gents? How you make a meal for your man/lady and it's all well and good? Yes, but you don't want to just eat and drink, do you? No. You want to commune with your Beloved. ...

This same principle exists in all relationships. Mother/Son/Daughter -- Father/Daughter/Son -- Teacher/Student and on and on...

Recently, I've made the choice to spend time with ill friends rather than time with words that can wait.

Quoted from Eoin 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.

May  I read some of it>? bb

I've been working on my first feature length Sci-Fi script for some time. Its roughly finished, but theres still a lot of work to be done to it before its even presentable IMO. I'll get there eventually.

Like so many others here life often interupts my writing. lol I just think people are busy and honestly times are tough for a lot of folks. I'm suprised we have time to do it sometimes.

Hello to all in SS land. I'm new to this site, been a member for a couple of weeks now. I'm currently writing my first script and would love to have anyone who can take the time to read it, give me any advice. Hoping to have it completed within a month. In the meantime I was hoping someone can point me to a scipt to read. I've already read Fade to White by Dreamscale and liked it a lot. Thanks-

Hi DV44,

Happy to do a read though please advise if it is a short or feature and what genre it is ??

I have struggled for time lately so knowing if it will be approximately 10 pages or 100 pages might give me a better idea of the time involved.

Happy to help though one word of advice read it multiple times and even get family and friends to read it first that way you clean up silly mistakes before it gets here.

Regards Alex

Thanks Alex for your response. It's horror, feature length. Running around a 115 pages right now. In the process of trimming it down right now. Hope to have it done within a month or so. Just learning to write a script for the first time. Don't know how you guys do it. It's pretty difficult but i'm having fun trying. Going to make mistakes for sure but that's why I'm posting the script on here. Seems like a lot of people give helpful advice.

I would advise that you trim that sucker down some more. Aim for 90. If you want, I can read it for you. send it to gabrielmoronta@aol.com

If you want to exchange reads, go to the script review exchange thread. Or. post on the general chat what you would like to read.

If you want something to read, Read mines. You can click on my sig. It's horror/dark comedy/thriller. 65 pgs.

Thanks Gabe- I'm Dirk by the way. It's running a little long because I'm trying to make a hybrid script involving a serial killer in a small town along with experiments gone bad up in the hills. It's kind of like two stories in one but I'm getting there. I need to do some more editing before I'm comfortable to send it out but I defintely will post you when I'm ready. In the meantime I'll give your story a read.

Hey Dirk,

I would suggest that you focus on one story for your first script and concentrate on your protagonist. Keep it simple. This is your first script. Naturally your going to mess up, we all do, but mess up in a way that doesn't confuse people. This is experience talking. lol.

Gabe

Thanks for the advice Gabe. I hear what your saying about concentrating on one story. I hope I've done a good enough job that my story wouldn't confuse anyone. It weaves around but comes together at the end. I'll post you in a little while and i appreciate your help. I will also read your script and get back to soon.

Hi Babz,

Sorry I haven't replied earlier. In relation to your request to read my script, The Cure, I'd be more than happy to send it to you. You braved the first 5 pages already and gave me some excellent feedback on making it more visual!
