SimplyScripts Screenwriting Discussion Board  /  Questions or Comments  /  How long generally
Posted by: Erica, March 18th, 2017, 11:18am
I submitted a short script early in the week and I still haven't seen it posted.  I can't remember what the normal turn around time is but I've seen some new scripts going up but still haven't seen mine posted.   Maybe there is a backlog or something, just wondering.  I did the contact thing and haven't heard anything.

Thanks
Erica

Sometimes Don posts active board members' scripts pretty quick, but in general, two weeks is not unheard of.

Yeah, just be patient.  I know it can be hard, but, as the other writers can tell you, the people with the cash to produce your scripts are extremely slow.  

Don just got done with the scary stories.  If your script wasn't in the final stages, you can link a direct path with dropbox in the "my work in progress" section.  That's what I do if I just want to get a feeler for something.

Good luck with your story.  Oh, what's your story called and what's it about?

Thanks Dan,

I'm in no rush, been in this business too long, it's a hurry up a wait field. lol

My story is called Goodbye, A short thriller.

Logline:  The hunter becomes the hunted when a woman lures her abusive husband into a death trap.

Just one of those stories that I got the idea for and ended up writing one day at work (shhhh, don't tell my boss).  First time typing a script on a IPad.  Worked pretty good to, of course later I transferred it to the desktop and fixed it all up.  But I have to say the Final Draft app is pretty cool and goes seamlessly  between IPad and desktop.
