Okay, I'm on page 103 but my Act III is a mess right now. I already have a feeling that it'll be way too confusing with those twists and turns. Sometimes I think it's a bit too much. Maybe I should take away some twists?

I'll read it and try to understand and will make a suggestion on the twists. It's easy to suggest on someone else's script

Herman, only you know and can decide if it is too confusing or whatever.

In your mind, is it too confusing, or is it too confusing, based on the way it's written or presented?

Twists are a good thing, but too many, or poorly presented twists can easily spoil the omelet.

Congrats on getting over page 100, though!  That's great.  You still have 4 days to go!  SWEET!!!

The basic idea/story is pretty simple. But if you get down to the technicalities of it, it can get confusing.

One way I think I should do is to space out the twists more. Give the readers more time to absorb the info. Right now I have one scene where two twists occur one after another.

Yeah, the last thing I want is to have the twist spoiling the story.

And thanks Khama. I'll read yours too 'cause your story sounds confusing as well. LOL.

Well, I think I hit the end. It's only 85 pages, but at the same time, there's some actions that only last a couple lines but would translate into more screen time. We'll see what happens when I re-read today or tomorrow.

Congrats, George!  Good job.  You wrote this thing fast, huh?  Very impressive!

Fast and without prep. I just started writing and followed where it lead me. Hope it doesn't show too badly.

OK, everyone, where we at?  3 days and some change to go.

Haven't heard from Ray, Wolffe, or Brian in awhile...come to think of it, haven't heard from CM Hall in awhile, either.

I think I'll be submitting mine tomorrow after 1 final read through.

So, Pia, will this get its own thread then, or will they simply be posted in the "thriller" section?

Keep at it, everyone!!!!!

Quoted from Dreamscale So, Pia, will this get its own thread then, or will they simply be posted in the "thriller" section?!

I don't know. Just submit like you normally do and add 7WC after your title.  

Submit normally and if it goes like last time they will be posted in their selected genre section.  They will each have their own thread.  This thread will be locked and a new thread will be created for you to chat about the results.

I guess all will be posted under Thriller? But mine is a sci-fi action thriller....

I thought Chelsea was done a loooooooooooong time ago.

Since the action, including gun fights, in my story CAN be shot with PG-13 violence I'm going back through and sanitizing the language, making it something like a modified version of what you'd see on broadcast TV.

I'm of the nubile opinion that if a producer/director wants to re-load the screenplay with colorful things that we all know right where those little spicy bits of language should be inserted.

I'm like... 9/10 done.
Had family shhhhhstuff slow me down the last coupla days.
Life intervenes.
Should still be good for Friday. No time Sat.

I have a full draft now. It's 91 pages. Now I just need a title. I'll make sure to read it through a couple more times prior to submitting. Since I wrote it straight through there was a lot of repeated info and occasionally conflicting info at points when I hadn't yet worked out the story. However, I believe I have it. My hope is that my extra stuff doesn't seem completely extraneous.

Okay, I'm on page 108, in the middle of my finale sequence. Just need a few pages more to end it and then write the denouement. Should be finished with around 115.
