Quoted from ajr
Music is emotion. Match the music to what you're trying to elicit from yourself.

Oh, and switch from wine to brandy.


Seriously, you guys listen to music when you write? Can't do it. "Music is emotion"-- That's why it doesn't work for me. I need 100% focus. It sucks...makes writing so boring.

As far as brandy? I don't drink at all. Man, I'm not livin' life.

I always listen to music while I write.




I'm the complete opposite. I have to have silence and zero distraction, or I'll find a reason not to write.

Me too. I can't concentrate with noise. Reading something or watching the start of a movie, or listening to music beforehand can inspire, but then I have to shut everything out.

So, eight pages this time around. Why did it go up? Is everyone happier with that? Just curious.

Was just rereading my submitted script and there's a idiotic plot hole! It's an easy fix. I'm so glad I had another read.

Not sure why the page increase, Lib, you'd have to ask Blondie. Massive irony for me with it though - the first round one I had to cut 3 pages before submitting. This time around I will only prolly use 5 maybe 6 pages! Hill Airy Arse!

For those of you who find music distracting, try music with no lyrics... or simple vocalization as an instrument.

Would help if language is the distraction, won’t help if sound is the distraction.

Of course, staring a deadline in the face is not the time to experiment with your routine


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

Hill Airy Arse indeed, Stevie. This is the type of whacky thing my auto-correct does all the time.     It keeps trying to make arse - arose. Arse, I say. Sorry I'm just amusing myself.

Carry on. Looking forward to Round 2 entries.

Quoted from CameronD


What I love about these challenges is they force me to write in genre's I'd never consider. Curious to see how this one turned out.


Ok, now you scaring me. Was I assigned a genre? Sean? Someone. please.

Well it says you can go a bit over.

If the parameters are not clear cut number of pages - I for one won't penalize for it. I was going to in the last round.

I've scrapped my first effort.

Thought of a new idea, not sure how it will be received due to the updated parameters.  Fits in well with the pm message parameters though.
