Done and submitted! This was the fastest one I've written, which is probably a terrible thing. I only started it at 5pm and spent six hours total on it, with dinner thrown in there and time getting my girls to bed.

It might not be the best I've done, but it was fun to write, even as a mad dash at the 11th hour. I really enjoyed this OWC.


Quoted from DanC
I want to add to the misery.  I turned something in.   It's got a good idea and hopefully no one will pick out my entry.

Don't get me wrong because it's terrible.  I barely had time to submit a vomit draft.  I could try to rewrite it, but am too tired.

Last 10 days have been HELL.   In the interest of over-sharing, my last 12 days included

Rehab from Hell that does help, but hurts.
Hospitalized for a colonoscopy and endoscopy, but they blew 4 veins out for the propofol
Caring for mom's cataract after she got complications in her eye.
Caring for mom's second eye after cataract surgery also led to diabetic complications.
Fear of mom or me getting shingles from all the stress of these last dozen days.
And lastly, the pain of doing a lot of extra things to help with mom's care when you have bones that ache from moving.

So, I am sorry for the vomit draft.  I simply didn't have the energy to flesh out the story and make it better.  Even now, I have a few ideas.

K, congrats on being a mod.  I enjoyed this challenge.

Dan

PS. If anyone wants a thorough read, send me a message and I will do that.


Dude, time to lie down and sleep for a week! You've earned it!  

Good luck to everyone, I can't wait to start reading.

Hats off. What a feat. Have you been to a screenwriting class that was Navy Seal themed? I congratulate you on your bravery. Get well you and your mom soon. Best of luck. Don't worry too much about your vomit draft. Sometimes the story is so good the vomit draft is better than a fifith draft of a shitty story.

I've been thoroughly entertained by Jeff's descent into a drunken stupor as he tries to write his script before the deadline. His should be....interesting for sure lol.

Dan - we'll done. To go through what you want through and still get a script done is remarkable.

Woah what a race!! I'm glad you suddenly started writing your entries. The mood here is intense, wow.  Can't wait to start reading.

@Dan thanks, hope OWC takes your thoughts away from your problems. Great to see you managed to write one.

Oh, just finish the thing and submit, Ammar. It's obviously going to be a lot of fun - judging from the last few pages of conversation alone. And when you don't have anything in you're kind of not invested as much.

Quoted from DustinBowcot
The excuses have been pouring in thick and fast with this one. I wonder... why bother? If you're not going to take it seriously, why waste your time at all?


Because it's like a magic time for me... it's like revisiting the catalyst that started this whole writing thing for me. It's like not showing up to a reunion. It's like an itch you cannot scratch. It's more important than just writing I guess... in a weird sort of way.
