Hey guys!

Just wanted to let all of you know my short script, The Thing That Wasn't, has been optioned!

This is my first script to reach this point (and I've been a member since, what, 2005?) and I'm very excited. I have a lot of confidence in the director.

I also wanted to apologize to those who read and reviewed my script that I never responded to. The script and discussion thread have been deleted at the request of the filmmaker.

So yeah, I'll be sure to keep everyone updated with news as I hear it.

Sham, I read that one did I not?

Sometimes I get lost in all of the words between books and scripts and language studies. Please tell me if I did. I guess the old link here was taken down.

Anyways, I want to give you a really solid congratulations. Writers need to hear this. To work so hard and then have this happen...

Well, some people might think it comes like out of a magic bag, but the truth is it comes from a lot of hard work. Unless you're Kevin...

He's just been gifted.   Loaded with good karma. Double  

I'll pay attention to your updates. Behatzlecha!

Sandra

Congrats, man!

How long till the check comes?


I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?

I enjoyed the story and it will make a fine film.
Congrats!

Congrats, I read it at work, but don't think I left any comments. AS others, I had a feeling this one would get picked up in a jiff. Did you just post it here or did you drop it at other places as well?

"The Thing That Wasn't Optioned"

So what's the big deal?  Sounds like 100s of scripts around here.

Get it?  Wasn't optioned?  Hello...is this thing on...?

I kid.  Good job.  I hope they have some good effects guys for the final shots.

Like James, I wonder if SS is the only place you put it up, as they found it pretty quick.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

This is lingering in the back of my mind as well. That, and finding a decent child actress who can be sweet, naggy, cute, and creepy without going too over-the-top.

I never saved it, but I remembered you compared my title to a children's book called "When the Sky is Like Lace" because it conjured up similar feelings.

Congratulations, Chris! This is very great news. I loved the script and I can't wait to see how it turns out on film! That is, if we have the chance to see it. And darn, I wanted to try and do something with it too...

I think when a script can do that, you've really done your job. I think I need to buy that book. I checked it out of the library years ago.
