We have until midnight of Sept 4 to submit this, right? I need all the time we have to finish my script.
Do I just send it to Don noting it's a 7WC?
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.
That's what I'm going to be doing. I think I'll submit mine next Thursday or Friday.
It feels great to be done! My girlfriend read the finale and didn't seem as happy as I am. I'll have to give it another read when I get back Saturday. Never fear though, it's complete, and according to me, it rocks!
Page 82 here. One more big sequence and I'm finished with Act II.
Where's everybody at? Ripley? Blakkwolfe? Ray?

Summer virus has consumed my concentration, enthusiasm and progress for most of this week.
Im at ACT II, part Two, pag 66 or so. This weekend I hope to rough out essentially the last half of my outline.
FWIW, I find it quite interesting to watch how everyone does their thing in different strategies.
I'm a map-it-out then clean-as-I-go sort of writer.
Others of you create like madmen and think nothing of rewriting what looks like significant events, plot points, characters and entire chunks of story. (Ugh!)
While others just kinda make it up as they go along. "It's all good!" (LOL! I envy that faith.)
And still others run it out then go back and fill in the little holes, tweaking, cutting, modifying.
Fascinating. (Not that I'm paying attention, or anything.)
PS, Remember, I started this thing three weeks late, so please be constructively charitable.
We're in the same boat, Ray. I only started to have a good idea of my script on the second week of August.

Ray, finish it! This is the best place ever to get the best feedback possible on your script! Yeah, it'll be rough for all of us with the first comments, but that's what will spur you to rewrite it!!
I got swamped at work the last couple of days and couldn't even look at it. Stupid end of the month insanity. It's when everyone decides their crap is broken and now because they're out of time, it should be an urgent issue for me. Ah, well. I've got a week to write twenty pages and give it at least a once over, which is usually good enough for what I do. That creature feature I posted here a while back was basically a first draft written in less than a month with a quick re-read on it. I can pull it off.
How is everyone else coming along? Still 7 days left.
Gabe, do you need any help? Anyone need help or a push, just let us know. We're all willing to help here.
Phil and Cornetto have read mine already and I survived so all is well. Going to tinker with it some more before submitting. Currently reading Khammana's.
I'm stoked there will be so many new features written in less than two months here. Great work everyone.
Yeah...anyone need a push or help, just say the word.
We came back last night after all, and have my girlfriend's grandson with us! Oh my, life is different with small children, huh? I'm out of my element..but enjoying it as well.
Pia, glad Phil and Cornie didn't lynch you. I told you, huh? Everyone will love it, I bet.
George, get it moving, man...get it moving.
Where's the other peeps? How far along are we all, and what is the count of scripts we are definitely expecting to see finished in 1 week?
I'll definitely have something ready for the deadline. I've knocked out 20 pages today, probably a record for me. I'll still need to make time to read over it and fix some things but it's not the end of the world if I can't get that done before I submit.
Still need to think of a title and logline when I finish. I'll make it, though. I'm sure of it.
