R2 results will be OURS in less than 72 hours.
Anyone else got a case of abdominal butterflytis?

I'm totally burnt from FFC. Maybe I'll start getting the intestinal tickles in a day or so.

Completely exhausted. So much so that I almost forgot about the R2 results.
FFC was a good distraction. I'm not freaking over Screenplay results. Yet.

I've been excited for the last three weeks, but now that it's almost here, I suddenly feel very nervous...

That's pretty much the thing, huh? I'm in the exact same situation. First I was happy, giddy, but ever since last WEdnesday, I've been stressing over this waaaaaaaay more than I should...
Damn.

If your excitement lasts more than four hours, you're supposed to call a doctor.

Thanks - but I'm just following the program set up by Nixie and Suave. One day, I'll be with the grownup writers like you all. :)
It is really great to see good writing - my ulterior motive - a learning experience. Lynne

Lynne: Thanks again so much for keeping things organized here and for your support and positive vibes. Means a lot.
And after surviving (ha!) political satire in Flash (meaning, there were words on the page and a story was submitted!) a round of drinks sounds like a great idea to me.

Oh, and I LOVE the strawberry avatar! I may get lynched if I change mine to represent my FFC story this time around...

For the first round results, I was full of nervous anticipation for the whole week before. In the UK, the results arrive at 5am....I didn't get a load of sleep that night.
This time... I feel less hopeful, which definitely takes the edge off. The standard is really high. Of course, that 1% of hope still niggles away though and I'm sure come Wednesday night the butterflies will return. But it's been a blast either way.
And flash fiction has definitely been a welcome distraction!

Aww now I'm sad I'm not in the Flash Fiction comp with all you lovely souls!
Was it me or was the price suddenly way higher though? I was surprised. Or maybe I'm misremembering how much I paid for the SSC.

Yeah!! If you post about the contest on Facebook or Twitter (through the registration website), it gives you a promo code for $5 off. I do it it every time!

Ok, NOW the nerves are starting to kick in.
I'm trying to be really balanced in my expectations because I don't want to be disappointed. I keep telling myself "just be happy you made it to round 2."
But damn, the waiting!

This. This times 10.
As a first-time NYCM, and a first-time screenplay writer, I'm thrilled I made it to R2. I like my Screenplay for R2, and regardless, I'm happy about the "feels" that this thing has given me.
But the wait...

Well. If you're also participating in Flash Fiction, do as I do and read stuff over there. I don't see a point in me trying to sleep, I know full well I won't.
So reading and commenting will be my game for the moment...

Yeah, me too.
You'd think I'd be blasé. "You always lose in the second round. Don't even get your hopes up. You are fighting 'way above your weight."
Still...I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDA!

I'm having a hard time concentrating on reading! I also have a touch of headache, so I'm nervous. I get multiple-day headaches and was actually squeezing my head with one hand and typing with another while crying through a round once. Don't want to replay that one!
I'm sure the relief of knowing will flood something soothing through my bloodstream either way.
BEST OF LUCK, FELLOW PASSENGERS!

I also wanted to say thanks a million, Lynne, for putting in all of the work to organize things and for the wonderful energy, support and feedback. I wish I could buy you many drinks!
I didn't do FFC this time - props to everyone who did.
I'll be doing Fiction War for the first time this weekend, and so even if I don't get through I'll be writing no matter what. I'm definitely feeling anxious for the results tonight - the competition is stiff and so I know chances are slim.
Best of luck to everyone!!
