    Also gonna assume the usual max. 8 pages limit applies.

    Derek.... keep chuckling every time I see your Valentine's entry intro... a man stumbles out of a corn field.... he has been PROBED.
    Very funny. Gets to me every time I see it.

    It's a shame about Valentine's, that's partly why we must make this one work, all for one and one for all huh?

      I have an idea that would be fairly quick to write, based on the SCARE ME concept, although I'm going sideways, not getting into scary territory.
      I think that's a good attitude, for any of us, really.... because as you say 14001 you are just doing more writing, and that can't be bad..... unless you really can't spare the time or you have other writing that takes priority. But it's good to get used to producing something quicky and under pressure too, it's a different type of experience to the long form scripting.

          True, and actually 8 pages, if you have the idea... is quite quick to write. And it can be less than 8 pages too.

            ... you could just produce 3 pages, heck, you could just set up a scene for atmosphere.... 2 pages, it's fine to do that.

            I began to overthink this one recently, fell into that trap.... so I was thinking, okay... let's try and write well, get the pay-offs or whatever to work...... then thought, ahhhh, STOP!!!! - you're killing it Warrior, just put on the kettle and sit down and write some stuff and play about with it. Try and enjoy it too.

              Re: SCARE ME !!!!!!!!!!!! [Writing Exercise]

              Got my first one down

              ...a pesky and messy 8-page first draft completed late last night, just sayin' huh.

              Have an idea for a second, but we'll see, may make it a short... or perhaps another 8 page [second entry] if I go ahead with it

              ...actually.... it wiil probably accommodate both... either a 3 pager or the full monty.... 8 pages.

              Anyway, enough blabbing, time to leave off the persistent hype-posting now, will check back in over the weekend hopefully. Take care.

              Keep posting on how you are progressing from time- to- time, so others can see some actual WORK getting done.................... okay.

                    Horror is not really my thing. I write dramas and comedies.

                      "Scare me" doesn't need to be horror.
                      Actually, the script I'm going to write is not.

                          Here we are into March already, and who knows when the forums might flatline, so if this thing's gonna happen then maybe it should happen soon.

                          Dunno when the submission deadline is. Earth calling Road Warrior, over.
                          Screenplay length, 8 pages maximum, can be less, just not over.

                            Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................

                            ~well, I'd said that we'd have an APRIL 1ST deadline, but if the forum is going to flatline, what's the sense in rushing anyway, no fun in that, way too stressful, may as well enjoy that slow drink at the bar of the Titanic.


                            ------------------------------} we just keep going and pretend that's not an asteroid growing slightly larger every day above us in the cold March skies...

                            Oh and...cough... please Lord, deliver us!

                              then, again, we've got about a month, is that enough, let's throw this out there, views please? how about, we just take it a week at a time, see who has got some entries to throw up on the board.

                              Knowing me I'll get some work chucked my way and have to rewrite gawd knows when.


                              nb, unlikely but....
                              I may ask that my Valentine entry, if I rewrite it, gets added outside of the competition, just for something to read, you know.... very informal. .

                                We can reduce the time, as long as we are enough writers.
