Good one, Don! Too bad I'm too busy to take part...

Um, can we have more than two characters, Don?

Quoted from Grandma Bear Good one, Don! Too bad I'm too busy to take part...

I do believe this is what you said last month, Pia, then entered and did very nicely with second place.  

Quoted from ghost and_ghostie gal Um, can we have more than two characters, Don?

Andrea, do you mean can there be a baby or a dog in the backseat? Or maybe someone hiding, as in a stowaway? Ooh, I'm giving myself ideas. 🤣

Will let Don answer that.
Hope you guys are in!

Gurl, you know I do!

Ahhhh...very nice.  I likee.

So, serious question.

Often, road trips are taken in a nice RV.  Would that be Kosher?

And, as to the questions about something else being in the vehicle, sounds like no, but there's nothing saying more characters can't become involved, as it's "the 2 of us" on our road trip, but who knows what these 2 may encounter.

BWOOOOHHHHAAAAHHHHHAAAA!!!!!

Yes, one can have more than two characters.

I’m going to change “car� to “motorized conveyance� which would include RVs and that thing from the movie Damnation Ally

I'm moving on the 14th. But, this is a fun challenge! And I've already got an idea!!

Don, just to clarify, does all the action have to take place in the car and moving?

Quoted from LC Don, just to clarify, does all the action have to take place in the car and moving?

No, that wasn't stated.

Sorry, Don.  

Too busy with my day job at the moment to take part, they've even got me workng weekends! This looks like fun. I hope you all enjoy it! Best of luck, guys.

I <3 road trips and road trip movies. I have been kicking around an idea for a feature about one, but my entry will be totally new. so hyped !!

I am heading to Tennessee for some visit time with my wife. Oh. Oh. Idea. Two strangers on a plane with maybe a snake! Seriously, I may not meke this one and will be reading others.

Quoted from LC Don, just to clarify, does all the action have to take place in the car and moving?

Jeff beat me to it, but, no. All the action does not have to take place in the car and moving.   Sometimes one has to pee or stop at that farking Polish pottery outlet with the insanely overprice mugs.

Quoted from Zack I'm moving on the 14th. But, this is a fun challenge! And I've already got an idea!!

When I was a kid, we moved across country and the guys who packed us out, essentially followed behind us and packed us into our new house.

Look at Mark. Mark has a job.  Mark has health insurance.  Mark is maximizing his 401K contribution.  Mark is an adult.

Good, cuz the rules state you can't use an old idea.*  It has to be an idea fresh from the moment you read the challenge.  

I just make up these rules, I have no control over them.

Quoted from spencerforhire I am heading to Tennessee for some visit time with my wife. Oh. Oh. Idea. Two strangers on a plane with maybe a snake! Seriously, I may not meke this one and will be reading others.

I don't know how I know that the Tennessee Prison For Women recently changed its name from Prison to Rehabilitation Center.

While I'm not saying that a plane can not be used in the writing of this challenge, I do want to point out the word "road" in the challenge.  

Just sayin'.  Don't want to stifle the creative process.



And lastly, this is a challenge.  A Challenge is where you try new things.  Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't.  If they dont' work, what have you lost?  Nothing.  So, take chances. Do screenplay crimes.

Some of this is sarcasm.

Most of it.
