I guess everybody is working on their scripts - I probably should too? Anybody getting nervous?

Nah - having some fun writing right now, but wondering what happened to the posters?

Willie,
I don't think it's necessary because your slugline is basically a CUT TO: but there technically is nothing wrong with it. I have read in books though that some hollywood readers don't like looking at all the cut to's, but sometimes a cut to: does have a good impact in the right place - so you should probably just use your best judgement.

I meant to ask what your thoughts were on it?

I leave it out as well - I go with the sluglines. Having said that, I've never written suspense, and I feel that some may be needed. More back and forth than straight ahead, such as a drama/comedy... for me, anyway.
I'm having much more fun this time around.
Good luck,
Bill

Thanks I wish I had gotten suspense - fantasy/a window is the barrel I'm looking down at. I have found my story though and it's coming along good now.
Chris mentioned in an earlier post that there's a guy who's in 2 heats and at first I thought he was ambitious but now after thinking about and having 2 years in a row with heat assignments I'm not thrilled with - that maybe next year I'll pay for 2 as well - maybe I'll get at least one genre I like.
good luck to you as well - looking forward to reading yours,
glenn

Thanks,
I would kill for mockumentary or comedy... last year I had Mystery/Ice. It took me several days to get over the disgust.
This year it only took me one day.
Looking forward to reading yours as well.

It's funny how different people are, last year I thought Mystery/Ice was the best possible one - I've been tempted on various occasions to write a feature using those guidelines, but who has the time with the other features I'm working on and not to meantion the day job - which I like to refer to as the dead job.
