Another Flukey Friday bites the dust…

Another Flukey Friday bites the dust...So another Flukey Friday bites the dust… Was it good for you? I hope so.

Lots of email yesterday… Lots of EXCUSES from several pros I cannot name (they’re calling me crazy) for posting a page from a spec script that has yet to be finished.

Nobody could tell me WHY I’m crazy though… LOL. Well it’s all okay… It’ll come out in the wash. It always does, doesn’t it?

So what did we accomplish yesterday? Some of us stuck a page up so in no particular order, I’m sending you to each one that I know about so you can read the page… There’s some GOOD STUFF here…

By the way, I even earned a badge for my effort:


First of all, Red Right Hand’s Challenge… Very simple. Just post one page on your blog from any screenplay you’ve written within the last 365 days (I think there’s room for leniency) for all to see.

I also received a lot of email from regular visitors who want to know what the hell the point is?

First of all, do we really need a point? Don’t you have to make a friggin’ point with enough other garbage in your life? Sheesh.

The point for me was simply this… . . The additional benefit I got from it was to read some ONE PAGES from some others out there and I don’t know about you but I read some good stuff. Additionally, doing something along these lines helps us become more of an actual community than a bunch of one-man or one-woman shows.

Who knows what could be in by performing these simple little tasks of ? And, it’s not like any of us are knocking on your door and surprising you like the relatives from hell… LOL.

So if you haven’t yet posted your ONE PAGE, go for it. If you don’t know how to do it, here’s how I did it. I simply went into my screenwriting program and kept zooming in on the page until I thought it might fit on the blog. Then I did a screen capture with which I use quite a bit. If you don’t know how to do a screen capture, go ahead and send me a PDF file of your ONE PAGE and I’ll do it for you. How simple is that?

Once you have your page up on your blog, go to Red Right Hand’s blog and click on the link that says, and leave a comment that says you posted your one page… And, if you like, go ahead and post a comment here and I will post a link to your ONE PAGE right here with the rest of the links.

Okay, got that outta the way… Cool.

Now what’s the point?

Hey, this is like displaying artwork, ya know? Are we not proud of what we do? Who better to show your stuff off to than a bunch of other screenwriters? And, I’m sure comments and questions are more than welcome by everyone involved. Maybe a few of us will network and find another “set of eyes” to look at our screenplays… Maybe someone will want to read the rest of the script. Who knows? Who cares? More than anything else, IT’S JUST FOR FUN. Do you like fun?

Here’s everyone that’s posted thus far (that I know of) so if I left you out, email me or leave a comment:

(click the one page link)

If I’ve missed anyone, just let me know and I will be happy to throw you right on up here with the rest…

A side note… Gotta few emails asking about the long list of blogs I was linking to…

I visited EVERY ONE OF THEM for quite a few days making a list of the most updated when , my dropped by a point. Bad experiment I guess, so gone is the blog roll and I’m only linking to those blogs that link back to me and in less than 24 hours my pagerank is back… So if you want to trade links and you update your blog more than once a month, I am more than happy to reciprocate links with you… Just let me know.

Back to the rewrite…

My third Flukey Friday…

So I’ve been working on the rewrite for a few hours now… LOL. More like twenty. I had another and washed it down with some .

Ahhh.

Anyway, during a much needed , I came across Michael Patrick Sullivan’s ’s current blog post:

Okay, Michael says ONE PAGE — no setup — no explanation.

I can live with that…

Can you?

I won’t explain anything but let me say that this was a spec that I totally DROPPED to persue the current rewrite of the spec I sold so it was worth it. so everything went on hold to write it.

I haven’t read ANY of this in about a year… WOW. I want to rewrite it right now. LOL.

You can probably guess what happens next… OR CAN YOU?

As always, comments welcome. I don’t embarrass easily. Gimme all you got.

Before I get back to the blinking cursor underneath my Protagonist’s name, I want to thank everyone for all the cards and letters…

Okay, emails and comments. LOL. I live in a world of denial but keep ‘em comin’.
