Change of plans. I'm back in and going to try and finish a script for the contest. I don't have it planned, I was stopped after four pages, but I'm gonna try and make something of it. 4 weeks to the day.

P.S. The sudden urge came from not finishing last year's when I said I would. I'm still dtewing over that and am also doing that, as well but this moved to the forefront.

Am I the latest one to start?

I just had a faint idea of how my story goes and begin to write characters bios. I don't think I can finish this in 4 weeks, but what the hell, I'll still write it.

Excellent you guys!!! We're here to help each other if you need any help or encouragement.

I'm on page 85. Need to set up for the final act and then some type of fight/revelation/conclusion thing and my rough first draft will be done!

Good going everyone!

Khamanna, I'm sure you'll be able to fluff it up to a real feature, no problem!  

Three joined (or rejoined) in one day! Amazing.

I'm on page 65 and almost done. I'm glad that fluff is welcomed! I've got "fluff up" strategies and am excited to use them.

For example:

COLE
What about Kate? If I'm an undercover I’ll have to let her know.
Considering Steve is my brother...

could be turned into

COLE
What about Kate?
GARRETT
What about her?
COLE
If I'm an undercover I’ll have to let her know.
Considering Steve is my brother...

Too bad I can't have a hearing impaired hero, otherwise he'd go "What?" "Sorry, could you speak up, please" the whole script, adding precious lines.

Pia, congrats on 85! Wow.

Protagonist Supporting Actress Character Name: Pick One for Me Request

25 year old female paramedic, suburban girl next door type, adrennaline junkie

I favor single sylable nick-names, loathe multi sylable names (efficient or lazy, you decide)
According to Social Security records durring the 1990's the following cherry picked names were most popular for females.

Someone pick a girl next door, adrennaline junkie, paramedic name for me.
I really don't care.

Jess / Jessie / Jessica   "Hand me that c-collar, Jess."
Sam / Samantha  "You get a line in yet, Sam?"
Meg / Megan   "Meg, dispatch wants to know why we're off route."
Jen / Jennifer  "This is Jen. She's a good guy. I order you not to shoot her."
Vic / Victoria  "Can you keep this thing under light speed, Vic?"

Way to go you guys!!!

Thank you Blakkwolfe for your excellent suggestions here!!!

I'm still at page 85, but I'm going to sit down and see if I can get a few more pages stamped out.  

Finished a first draft -- think I'll probably change just about everything in it.  Pretty much starting over, in other words.

As for today, I've got around 6 or 7 pages written but I think I can finish this by deadline. I have an outline done which has helped me alot. I still keep updating or changing certain things around but still following it. I'm aiming at 30pgs for this week. I'm really hyped to actually working on a feature. I"m glad to see other people still working hard. Can't wait to read the entries. Good luck to all.

Hi five to c m hall - I'm done too, at 75 pages.

There are few glitches that I'm aware of and have to fix to make the plot come together. And I'll have to let it simmer to stop thinking it's another masterpiece. Then rewrite and only then edit.

Haven't even work on it this much - it came easy to me and that's scares me too. Slapped some stuff together and voila...

good luck on finishing to all!

Wow!  Very impressed, you two...very impressed.

Wolfe, you're starting all over?  Wow, that is very ambitious.  You can do it.

Page 35 for me.  Coming right along.  Should be able to hit page 45 by the end of the day, so I'm ahead of my schedule.

Where's everyone else at?

I finished today too. Came in at 100 pages. I'm going to let it sit for a few days before I reread it so my eyes are a little more fresh.

I already came up with a twist ending idea so that will probably be something I'll change.

Congrats everyone and I'm stoked to see so many people taking part whether you're finished or just now starting. AWESOME!!!  

I'm only 75 pages behind Khama.

I decided to jump in late on this because I thought it would be fun to write something like this with zero planning. Start it out the typical way: guy wakes up with a body and no identity and just see where the muse takes me. I banged out 10 pages today, and I have an idea where the next handful are going, but I have no idea how it will end just because I'm not there yet. So rather than deal in existing plot points, I'm just writing with an idea of where the story should probably shift.

I considered keeping it to myself, but since I'm doing something different, I figured I'd share. If I happen to write myself into a corner, hey, that's how life treats you sometimes. So rather than write safe, I'll be dangerous and see just how bad my guy gets tortured.

Wish me luck.

What the Hell is everyone talking about?  I'm completely lost.  This thread now has a mind of its own.

I've been sick, so no writing since Monday. On page 40.  Hope to get back to it ASAP.

Haven't written on this in three weeks even though I said I was back in. Lots of other writing. However, I did 3 pages in the last 20 minutes and am on 7, and the plot is beginning to open up. I know it's not much, but I write slowly so whatever.

On a positive note, I have a corpse and am soon to have a second one. Yay, corpses. Lol.
