Hey, Jesson,

I liked the way you capitalized on the concept of writer's block and turned into a nice script.

The idea of 'never-ending curse' is done before but with the idea of your's it seemed fresh. These are the few times that I truly wish that the script was longer since the idea is so nice.

I have never seen thoughts of a character been raised in a script. Since movies are meant to be solid visual medium and only the sure-shot things that visually happen to a character translate onto the script. Nonetheless, it gives a sense of anticipation and delusion so that's fine.

Really enjoyed this.

Good luck.

I really liked the concept of this script.  Done before?  Not that I know of.  While reading this script my mind kept thinking that this would be a great short script for a "Twilight Zone" type show.  A haunted typewriter won't let the story die.  Pretty cool, if you think about it.  

The story kept me interested through out.  Good job!!
