Let's post 'em! Mine will not be a first draft. It will be ready and rocking like Frost Bite!
You're not going to become this year's Baltis, Jeff? Shame because I was actually interested in reading his last year because it was written the same way mine was.
Memwipe - Sci-Fi, Action, Thriller (114 pages) - In a world where memories can be erased by request, a Memory Erasing Specialist desperately searches for the culprit when his wife becomes a target for erasure -- with his former colleagues hot on his trail.
I forget how it went exactly but it was a 7WC like this one. And, Baltis had this idea which I believe he said he had done by the end of the second week and polished by the fourth. And, he really talked it up, as he does, it's his style but then he disappeared and didn't show up again for a while. I think someone posted that he had a baby (not he, but you know what I mean) and it took up his time but I never got to see that script and I was really disappointed. One of my favorite types of scripts are inter-locking stories. The old posts for it are still in this section actually. Try going back to page 3 or 4. Should be around there somewhere.
Pia, I'd love to exchange mine but I have to work on it some more otherwise the logic is off at places. Also I need to edit - it's blah grammar right now.
I'm planning and planning to get to the rewrite but like yourself - I don't like rewrites... I keep postponing them. If I know that I have to get it ready in two days I would start though.
Funny...yeah, I know, me too., I was looking forward to old Balt's script, as I was with the nonexistent Frost Bite.
Well, I can't really blame him because I didn't get mine done last year either. Although, I didn't talk mine up and God damn Final Draft kept deleting it. I still actually work on it and am 60 pages in. Just can't get around to the final 30 or so. =(
And, yes, it was funny in a big, fat, tall, Chinaman with red hair-kind of a way.
Close to finishing my first act. Going to finish it today. Wrote 21 pgs, and total 33. Keep chugging along.
Just Murdered by Sean Elwood (Zombie Sean) and Gabriel Moronta (Mr. Ripley) - (Dark Comedy, Horror) All is fair in love and war. A hopeless romantic gay man resorts to bloodshed to win the coveted position of Bridesmaid. 99 pages. https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-comedy/m-1624410571/
Remember, I pulled out of that 7WC also...but I did it early on, and way before I ever wrote anything. I had issues, as I always seem to. BUT, even though I still am having issues, it won't stop me from completing this classic! Sorry about the talkin' it up, I just can't help myself. It's the Balt in ME!
After a slight hiatus, I got mine up to page 50 last night with a bizarre reversal that should confuse the crap out of everyone except writers who tend to guess the ending at page 1 anyway. 40 minimum to go, and I'm shooting for that to take exactly 4 days. I know once I get the slow reveals out of the way, the story should flow smoothly through the climax and out.
You guys are monsters. I think it's only me and Ripley who aren't even half way done.
