Your Beta feedback was so incredibly helpful! Let's just hope we're not put in the same group.

The weekend of the 1st challenge is a doozy for me. Not sure if it would be creatively exciting... or absolutely ridiculous... to attempt to participate.

Just registered! I've wanted to venture into screenwriting for a while and think this may give me just the taste I need of it to keep going. Plus, it will serve as a nice distraction since I'm pretty much out of the next round of ffc.

FWIW, my entry into the previous screenplay content "Best of Breed" is going to be featured at a screenplay festival. I'll have more information later in November.

I'm dreading the weekend, now. I can't wait to do the Short Screenplay, but I also have this 24 hour gaming event, so I'll go to bed early on Friday, because I have to wake up at 6 Saturday morning to get ready for the full thing. It ends on sunday at 8 am. Then I'll try to get SOME sleep, and Sunday night speed-write a screenplay. 

Praying I don't get Hist Fic. The research would kill me.

Good luck, all. Screen is my favorite but 48 hours is rough (as you all know too well.) I usually never post my work but have been happy to read for others. Admit I've never researched the whole BETA thing. Is there really time for that to work and be helpful in these short challenges? I can see when we have a week but i can't imagine when we all fit it in. After my binge research from midnight to 4am, a little sleep, pondering my idea while running Saturday errands and finally liking my idea at around 10 Saturday night then to write it on my phone (arthritis/typing issue) and then export to Movie Magic for formatting then exporting to PDF and realizing in the first export I missed four pieces of dialog that ended up as action so I redo the last hour before I can submit. THEN I read BETA? When do I offer mine? Just me? LMAO - I can't be the only one whose weekend sounds pretty much the same. BETA participation aside, I'll be here with you all at 11:59; some praying for a Romantic Comedy, others for Political Satire. (I'm scared even typing that last one.)

Me too! I'm doing nanowrimo too and stayed up late last night writing. Worked a full day and I am so tired, but I want so badly to be awake when the assignments come out. I NEED to be able to fall asleep thinking about it, so I wake up with some ideas.

Looking forward to this crazy journey again! Going to try and sleep for a few hours, wake up, find out what will be torturing me this weekend (aside from family), back to sleep to let subconscious start writing... then it begins, lol.

I have extra strong tea brewing for the AM, and the choice of red wine or gin for the PM. I also have emergency tequila in case of political satire. *crosses self*

Best of luck! I look forward to... this being over

Cheers,

Deb

Me too! Just flew to and from the west coast in a span of two an a half days with an 11 hour workday wedged in between. Will try to grab prompts tonight but will need to write with my family awake and about ... should be interesting...
