This week-end was reserved for competing in the NYCMM screenplay contest. I’m happy to announce that I survived the week-end and the assignment.
My five-pager ended up being titled ”Daddy Help Her”. The assigned genre was horror, the location had to be a farm, and the required object was a remote control. I’ll post “Daddy Help Her” today if you wish to read it. Someday it might be rewritten!
I’ll be happy to proceed to the finals but, if I don’t, I got what I needed to out of this competition. The thing I learned from this competition is how important “time” is when you write.
If you agree that “writing is rewriting”, then time is needed to do the rewrites. It is even better if you have a break (more time) in between the rewrites.
It is possible to produce a polished SP in a week-end but it is a very intense process. I am so very grateful that my family supports my SP endeavors.
