I have a first draft, but I'm about to read it and find out if it makes any sense (spoiler, it probably doesn't). I really hate my prompt: horror/a buyout/a poultryman. Also, I had horror in the first round , was not keen for it again haha. Oh well, name of the game I guess. How's everyone else doing? Anyone else hating their prompt? How are my group 8 peeps doing?
Good luck everyone!

Don't like my genre and wish I had yours. If only to take the term "poultryman" and mess around with it completely. haha. Can horror also be comedic? I think so. Good luck and judging by your last entry, maybe horror is your thing? |

Thanks! It seems to be mostly coming together. I think haha. Yeah I don't mind writing horror on occasion, but I don't read/watch a lot of it, so I've got constant paranoia that I'm falling into tropes. But as long as it makes sense I'm happy at this point :P.
What's your genre? Best of luck, hope it's coming together. |

You're almost there- hopefully those last 2 pages will help pull it together for you! I'm sure you'll feel better with it after a wee break from it (that usually helps me out)

I'm so intrigued to see what you do with those prompts!? That combination would make a really fun black comedy. Sending you good vibes, I hope your story grows on you, I'm sure it makes more sense than you think - look forward to reading it!

Haha, that's the best method, just throw caution to the wind and embrace the nerves. Usually rain is a standard here in Scotland, which is really helpful to encourage staying inside - but today is glorious sunshine, so I need to go and top up my vitamin D while I can (translation: i don't want to open my document again, so I'm going outside :P )

I feel I've stretched the 'foreigner' prompt the same way, that's something I need to improve in my edit. Whatever 'fantasy' element you've got in the story, could you dial that up a bit to help compensate? Good think - think of that glass of wine!

Oh no - that's so frustrating!! If you are in red alert zone, could you copy/paste rebuild it through a free software like Celtx or Trelby? I'm a final draft user and not seen something like this before - sounds like it'd be worth sending customer service a message. Good luck pal!!

It can be 5 pages if you wanted, if the story calls for it to be that long. You just can't go over 8 pages, that's the limit for round 2. I've submitted 8/9 page scripts for round 1 before, that's 12 page limit. I hope you sort out your technical glitches before the deadline. I've nearly finished my first pass then I'll go over it again and again until nighttime.

My eyes are blurry and the script just looks like a jumble of incoherent words now.
So that's where I'm at. Bloody Historical Fiction my dread of all dreads. Edited by SkylerAutumn - 30 May 2021 at 9:44am |
