Good to see you back and writing again. A whole new bunch of people here now compared to when you were last here...except for some of us "old" people that are still here.
I'm still getting back into writing.. My problem is I refuse to write anything dramatic unless I have a concept and plan it out using Blake Snyder's Save the Cat or some other outline method first.. I've gone beyond the practice writing 1,000 words a day and prefer to write when I have something to say. This usually occurs when I have a sound concept, a title and logline and then beat it out.. But I'll get there.. I'm working on ideas at the moment so hopefully I'll get an *eureka* moment soon.. The older you get the less of these you get so when you do get one they tend to be little gems. ha! I remember writing one particular script over 10 drafts in 16 days 14 hours a day, in between meals and sleeping. It was the energy, the thrill and the rush of writing that script that forced me to write that way.. It burns you our to write like that but it is good practice to write to say a 2 week deadline to get it to 10 drafts in an allotted time..
We're not old, Pia, were seasoned veterans with years of experience and knowledge.. We can be mentors to the fresh and new folk on here.. That's what I say, anyways.. Ha..
No sooner had I logged once my new SS account has been verified that I received a call to go out of town for a couple of jobs so I was delayed returning to this thread.. Day jobs sure get in the way but they pay the rent I guess..
Anyhoo, nice to hook up with you again Heretic, I'll be seeking out your scripts to have a look see how you've developed since I was last here.. Looking forward to it in fact.
Twas nice running into you on Talentville! Thanks again for the review there, you've helped my work get noticed.
Looking forward to seeing more of you over here now!
Regards, E.D.
Hey, good to hook up with you again!!
Glad to do it, E.D. and I'm glad your work got noticed.. Talent is like that, it has a habit of getting noticed.. ha.. I like that line
Yep, hopefully I'll spend more time here, read some posts, and read some scrips and write some notes for other screenwriters.. I'll be checking out your stuff when I can get to it..
Nice to have you back. I've only been around since last August but since then it seems to me that several previous members have returned. I can't compare with the "old days" but it seems quite active around here at the moment.
Anything of yours posted here?
cheers
Thanks, Reef Dreamer, glad to be back
Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a 100 page Vampire/Dystopian script set in the future entitled "REDEMPTION" I've written..
Anybody else like to have a look at REDEMPTION please send me a PM, and include your email address and I'll email the script to you as an attachment..
Have only been on SS a couple of months myself, I think having someone of your experience can only be helpful to everyone here.
Welcome back!
Steve
Hey Steve
If I can be of help just ask and I'll help if I can.. If you like to read one of my scripts, would like me to read one of yours or indeed would like to have a particular script from my script collection which you wish to read, just send me a PM, that's fine..
Same goes for others on the SS forum, just send me a PM request that's fine.. Particularly if you wish to get access to a particular script which may not be available on the internet any longer.. A lot of script sites and script trading ceased in June 2010 due to 20th Century Fox suing my friend the screenwriter P.J. McIlvanie but thankfully the legal proceedings was dropped. This has caused a fallout and consequently means less scripts online for folk to download.. The answer to this is ask me if I have the script in my large collection and if I do its yours.. Don't forget to include your email address in any PMs you send me so I can forward the script as an attachment for anybody who asks..
Kevan, Welcome back. I'm new here since October. Only have a few shorts so far but workin' hard to get some features under my belt. Look forward to reading some of your work. Dena
Hey Dena
Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate it
I'll check out your shorts when I can Dena and write you some notes..
If you need any help and or advice about tackling a feature screenplay and all those things which go into writing one let me know and I'll help if I can..
You can always request any of my shorts and or feature, Dena, you're welcome.. Don't forget to include your email address so I can send the script/s as attachments through the mail..
Don't worry if anybody including yourself do not wish to give your email address out I can always upload the script or scripts on my MediaFire account where you can download them via a provided link.. Same goes for anybody else, you don't have to provide me with your email address if you wish to remain private, just request in your PM for me to upload the script and provide a link - this is fine, no problem..
Thanks for the welcome back.. Much appreciated.. Looking forward to seeing your work particularly..
Do you have any recommendations?
I haven’t posted anything new here for a while. I may post Warning Shot sometime in the near future. It was a Nicholl quarterfinalist. I wrote it originally with the intention of producing and directing it myself. That hasn’t worked out. At this point, it looks like it’s mostly serving as a sample.
Deal, right now I'm working on a sci-fi spec script that will need some rewrite's before its close to ready. I'll shoot you a PM when I have time to take a look at your work. Like you, a thing called a job keeps getting in my way. lol

I remember you got placed in the Nichol, I remember somebody mentioning it on facebook.. Usually something which is good is good to use as a sample..
You never know you may get to direct this script in the near future. if and when you post a link to download the script I'd love to read it, Breanne...

Hi Hugh
Sounds good my friend, look forward to reading your work when you're ready to let it out.. Your welcome to read mine for sure.. Just ask me when you're ready..
Yeah, work, I hate it.. I'm lucky because I only work *on call*.. last week I had only had one call out which means only one paying job. Let's hope I get some more this month. I need the money! Help I'm a wage slave! I know what you're saying, Hugh...
