Some of these prompts are tough! |

Wellllll, I managed to submit! Simi polished. Will now just polish away. Nice to have a solid day to do this!
It was not a slam dunk that I would even finish, the prompts were a real downer, creatively. Hope you are all doing great!

I had a political satire in the first round last year and went to great pains to not align my Senator character with a specific party. Just made him a generic politician and had the people around him inform what way he swayed.
I’d hate to have a political satire right now when every actual news article reads like a satire. How do you even bump up the volume on satire in this economy?

Agree! I LOVE Writer Duet! It's so smooth and it lets you. just type away if you want without having to think about it too much.

My political satire from R2 a year ago, "Filthy Rich Fun", seems a little too close for comfort now.

Hey Suave,
I have just submitted mine, I'll probably go over it again before the morning to check for any last errors. I can't wait to read your script, I hope you post it up when we're allowed. |

I'm in group 54 - Suspense - Snowed In - a Gym Rat
I am AMAZED to have completed and submitted this after not having written fiction (other than in the last challenge) in twenty years. I'm amazed that, despite my initial reaction to the prompt - EFF this, I might just not do it, forget it- l thought of a plot, and executed it, and have turned it in. I'm amazed that my husband, a classic kind of stoic male, who read my screenplay for the first time this morning, had an emotional response to it and started to tear up! Huzzah! Victory is mine. I hope that each of you feel good and proud to have done this, just for the sake of it. What a thing.

Well done!
I'm in the same boat. Never done a screenplay and I drew Mystery, sightseeing and living in a car. GAH! I've never written a mystery, and have barely read any mysteries. I'm sure it's a train wreck, but after much thinking I'll give up, I actually got it done! And I don't hate it. Haha

I got romance / a stopover / a dentist. That one took quite a bit of time just to come up with a basic concept . . . the dentist part was the hardest for me to fit in. Like, what's romantic about a dentist?
