I blew my back out again lat last week, and have been in alot of pain with very little movement. I think it's beginning to get a little better. SUCKS getting old!
EDIT: Oh, never mind. Just saw it on your profile page.
Hope you're getting better.
FEATURE:
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've made some progress, just about to hit page 70 and I've written some scenes I'm really happy with. I'll definitely make the deadline. Still no title or logline yet, I haven't really thought about them to be honest.
Hope you're feeling better, Jeff. Back pain the the worst thing ever. My back gives me a lot of trouble now, I don't think I want to know what it will be like when I hit my 40's.
Thanks Brian. You're right, back pain is the worst! Completely debilitating.
I've actually had back trouble as long as I can remember. I remember playing football as a kid, and my back was so bad that I'd literally have to jog/limp out on a pattern, and then hope to use my height to catch the pass, while double covered. Probably should have been resting the old back when it was that bad. Also, have had a lot of ski injuries over the years. MY Mom's back is the same way...every now and then, it just goes, and leaves us almost crippled for 3 or 4 days.
I'm 47, but I remember it being just as bad at times in my early 30's.
I'm having trouble sitting and typing today. I don't know if I'm going to make much progress today.
Did anyone count how many times they used the word, "remember"?

I used the word Remember 21 times as well, although I'm only page 55.
Most of them are in dialogue, but not in the context of remembering what happens before having amnesia. It's more like misplacing something and a character says, "I don't remember where I put it."

My favorite line was "Don't forget to remember," but my wife thought it was stupid. Oh well.
I'm still on page 53, but I went back and tweaked the last scene I had written from two guys talking in a nice, clean office situation, to one of them tied up between two alley walls and the other one walking around whipping him a few times during the same conversation. I think it makes it a little more interesting.
I just need to do 10 pages per day and I'll have a week to at least review it for content. I think I'll make it just fine. Not bad for zero planning, actually. I'm still kind of writing from the hip, though I've worked out the character details and the ending.
Good job, George! Keep at it. Anything with a guy whipping another guy in an alley has potential for sure.
Pia, you'll get through your inconsistencies. Maybe you need a few more corpses popping up around the apartment?
My script seems pretty weak compared to everyone else's. Very tame, to say the least. I've only had 1 onscreen death through 70 pages, if you can believe that. But I do have that shower sex scene with the deer, rays, and Hobie Cats that will hopefully make up for the lack of violence.
I'm shooting for 8 pages today, and first draft completed by Thursday night.
