I am in!

It does not seem to be the same time frame that it has been in over the years? 
A little early, maybe?

Oh well, I be there!

I'm hesitant, still, I've never written a screenplay before and I'm unsure if I could do it.

I was the same for a couple of years, but then I tried it. So much fun!
You have lots of time to get ready, and you still won't be, haha.
Start Googling screenplay and read a bunch of results.
The main things you really need just starting out: Montage - (V.O) - (O.S) - Super -
Format
Try it, you will love it.

Flash was earlier than usual too, presumably things are being shuffled around to make space for the new competition they've promised us.
I keep meaning to give it a go, but we'll be away that weekend (and if we weren't I'd be doing Writing Battle) so it'll have to wait.

I am betting that they will change the date on the writing battle.

If it were the same type of contest I think I would consider it, but we won't be changing the date for the Summer Flash Fiction Writing Battle in August.

I'm kind of bummed that I can't participate in this year's NYCM short screenplay contest since I will be busy as admin for WB. I've never done very well in these contests, but I feel like I'm getting better. Shoot. Was looking forward to this.

I was also bummed to see these fall on the same weekend. I'm already registered for Flash Battle but unfortunately I'll have to skip it. No offense, Max! But Short Screen is my favorite of all the comps in all the lands, so I can't miss it. I'm sorry you'll be missing out this year, too!

Thanks, Max, you're the best! I had no problem eating the entrance fee, but I'll happily take a credit for the next Screenwriting Battle. :)

Done :) removed you from the Summer Flash Fiction contest and added $20 credit to your account. Good luck in short screenplay. I should have time to beta, so shoot me an email if you need an extra pair of eyes.
