July '25 OWC Theme Is...   (reply) Posted by: Dreamscale
Date Posted: 3 minutes ago
I'm here.

Yes, have been getting "happy".  Now, I am happy.

But, I'm not happy that I have 4 hours left.

The bigger issue is that I ran my concept by Wifey, and she used the following words, and I quote - Sick, Disgusting, Terrible Idea, Horrible, everyone will hate it.

So, here I go again...que Whitesnake

Quick smoke break and I begin - I have FADE IN there already

How can I know, I haven't started yet and just seeing your reply. And I have just the beginning of the story, still need the ending.

Edit: actually 8 am Sat doesn't mean extra time at least for me, cos I go to bed at 11 or ealier. So, If I write, it'll be today before the deadline. I highly doubt that.

Good luck to all!

So wait, are you or are you not giving more time?

Im entertaining my daughter who's back from 9 month rest from me and also getting ready for pickleball tournament these days. The tournament is ever Tuesday and yes, my team won two other teams now. 4 left. (that was a shameless plug!)
I'm not sure if I'll deliver but will try something if you are giving more time.


More time would be till 8am Saturday morning (est). But I need to know if you’re definitely entering.

You cry wolf like this all the time and then - bam! - top three script. I’m on to you.


Ha ha

You do have a point.

This week has been different.

I like my idea, I will say that.

Just not sure I’ve been able to deliver.

I’ve done my best - I will also say that.

Thanks for organising. Really appreciated.

I don't update there that much. I should.  At least to announce One Week Challenges.  And articles of interest.

Honestly, Mine are never well received. They make sense to me and only me. Anyway, I love this challenge thing and will continue. Good luck!!


Thanks. I think I'm in good shape. It's sitting at 8 1/2 pages right now and I still have more to trim.

I'm good on time too, I'll have it in before the current deadline.

I have something, but it's damn ambitious and might not be all that well received. I'll see if I can pare it down and get the tone right, and try to think of a backup plan.

The Shroud   (reply) Posted by: JtF
Date Posted: Today, 12:55pm
Dear Mario,
The Shroud - "Crusade E1" zips along with pace, blood n' guts and gusto. There's a lot of research into the historical settings. A great number of lavish locations but I guess you are looking for a Netflicks deal, so thay can afford such.
If they don't - you could dab your SP page turns with poison . . . .

Quoted from Dreamscale


Unless I can get my arse moving, I may need more time.  We'll see.  If I can just get the opening scene written, I should be fine, but it's giving me a whole shiteload of trouble for some reason.



Let me know, dude.

Dear Phil,
I don't think you can sustain that long a piece with no scripted dialogue - especially scene 2 of July - first time around.
Maybe the same words could be used by them alternately in their ritual, "Love you - Gotchya !!" resolving to just the Love you for the P11 scene. All best --

Quick Question:

As I was late posting the challenge, does anyone feel they’d need more time?

Instead of scripts due at midnight tonight, say — due by 8am (est) tomorrow morning.

So, anyone need more time?

No Gods, Only Him   (reply) Posted by: JtF
Date Posted: Today, 12:00pm
Dear Adam,
I think you have to turn this more into a story rather than just a series of action scenes. The snag with the (unexplained) superhero bit - with a lightning blue flash he's saved them - wears thin very quickly with an audience. In ten pages it is possible to create a beginning, middle and end resolve. Check out the OWC's One Week Challenges on the HOME page. All best --

A Wonderful Christmas Carol   (reply) Posted by: JtF
Date Posted: Today, 11:45am
Dear Patrick W. Carr & Sam Kennedy,
what festive fun fluff!!
I am unsure as to why my mind read George's part in a Homer Simson voice (it's OK it worked fine) and laughed at the "usual suspects" Hollymark movie references. Estranged Mary could have been on secondment in a Belgian chocolate shop Xmas contest, while Reilly was stopping a Christmas condo being built on a dog park -- however - The man who broke Hollymark makes amends by the final credits.
Adored the Tom Jones number - especially as that evocative bass line was played by my pal's dad (the late and much missed) Eric Ford.
I hope you get a chance with this, as it's really an advert for their Festive films. All best --

Daniel's Gotta Die - Now Available on Streaming   (reply) Posted by: Dressel
Date Posted: Today, 5:29am

Quoted from Don

The movie was better than mowing the lawn.  Much better.  I miss Bob Saget.

New rule on the discussion board, if your movie is released on streaming the same weeks as a One Week Challenge, you have to participate in the challenge.

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


Thanks for watching, Don!  I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I’ll try my hardest to think of something during my downtime at work today but I might have to be a rule breaker this time.

Christ, I’m doing a Jeff!!

I couldn’t make the last one, trying my best to do this but the week has been, well different - a blend of redundancy, reading of wills and all sorts of shite. The list goes on.

But I really want to take part.

And unusually I think my idea is ok, but I haven’t had the time or headspace to even finish it.

One day

I’ll do my best.

Already feels like one I would want to carry on with after, which is nice, I just got to work out where it goes. Oh and ive a full day working tomorrow of course.

Hey ho, everyone has challenges

Fingers crossed.
