So I woke up to this and completely forgot I was supposed to bring the breakfast tacos for a weekly morning meeting at work.

Thanks everyone!!!

So many of you have given such great advice and input on this, you should feel like it’s your win as well.

Quoted from rolo Um... Can everyone please disregard everything I say from now on!!! I obviously haven't got a clue!! Huge congrats, Shawn! Guess you won't be needing that rewrite after all?!! Hope good things come from this for you!

Hey Rolo,
I did take your advice in a way. I offered to Carson to step down and allow Gravity Kills to be reviewed at a chance to be in the AOW in a few weeks.

He felt I should get the review because I won fair and square. I asked if I could turn in an updated version and he agreed. So, long story short, I was up for 40 hours straight doing a rewrite in order to get it in by Wednesday night.

I took the advice given here and at Scriptshadow  on several points in the rewrite.

Quoted from jwent6688 I do wonder about Carson, though. He seriously had to Google whether or not it's a law that murderers can be revived after execution to be executed again?  James

Thanks James!

Oddly enough, Carson isn’t near the only one who’s asked this question. Hell, 7 out of 10 people who reviewed my script have asked it.

Quoted from Electric Dreamer And with that [xx] Worth the Read -- Carson guarantees he'll send the script out to his contacts. Congrats, Shawn! cuz then they'll check out -- MISSION STYLE!

Thanks Brett,

I guess [XX] is good then. Cool!

I’m in the middle of a re-write on Mission Style. Can’t wait to get er done.

Shawn…..><

Quoted from Grandma Bear Awesome Shawn!!!! Super mega happy for you! Come party tonight!

I’m in!!!!

Drunken Skype Fest! YEAH!!!!!

Shawn……><

Big congrats, Shawn. One step closer to the top. =)

Congrats, Shawn! Really exciting! I do feel bad for the guy who wrote Gravity Kills. Poor guy. It's got to suck to think you've been chosen, then learn there was a mix up. But I'm glad you got a review and did so well!

Cool beans, Shawn

Big congrats, man!

Congrats Shawn.

SPOILERS!

Now this is up to you but, I think the pedophile shouldn't change. That's what's so unique about it. The reader dislikes pedophile's but, you somehow made him caring (prob due to his innocence and his hand in trying to capture the real killer).

Way to go big fella!

I was just discussing the execution thing with Ryan. IMO, all you need to do is set this in like 2017, and mention a new law pertaining to it along the way. It won't affect the story at all but will stop people focussing on that unique angle. Very simple

Yeah, well, what happens when the script isn't produced when 2017 rolls around?

I'm pretty sure Shawn did research and found that in some states that law does take place.  Correct me if I'm wrong... it's been a while since I read What Doesn't Kill You.

I think my gripe with the script was if the person was resurrected the 2nd or 3rd time and was no longer the sick, depraved killer but a mentally handicapped vegetable (due to extreme amounts of oxygen loss to the brain), wouldn't the death penalty suddenly become null and void?  I mean, I don't even recall anyone checking on Derek to make sure that wasn't the case.  It's kind of messed up, killing someone who has no bearings of what the hell is going on...

Congrats Shawn! You have worked so hard on that script. You deserve it! Very awesome turn out! Keep us posted!! And if you guys are having a skype party tonight...I'll bring plum wine! ha Party on!

Led,

Good work, fella. Best of luck with it.

Great news Shaun, you deserve it

Looks like Breanne's Warning Shot is next up for Amateur Friday.  Wow, what's that, 3 in a row for SSers?  Impressive.

Congratulations Shawn, it's a very worthy script.

I read the review on WDKY

Looks like what impressed Carson the most is the fact that we don't get who the real killer is untill the very end - that is skill, Shawn!

Hey, people, why are you so private about your skype parties? I've never been to one.
