Writing – Results

Earlier this week I submitted a script to the Short Script Competition at the London Screenwriter’s Festival. It was an idea I’d had that I thought worked pretty well, but it was hurried in the way it was written, as lots of other things all happened at about the same time.

Anyway, the results were given today, and I didn’t get anywhere. The odds were always going to be low, in fairness. As it turned out,  there were 115 entries all told, and from the look of it my script wasn’t even in the top 25. I’m going to try and get a bit more feedback about where it went wrong, but we’ll just have to see.

As it is, I’m happy to have at least submitted the script. To me that was the important thing. I want to get more experienced at that, at writing, finishing, and submitting – that’s the way these things need to go.


Writing Project – LSF

Another writing project has come up, which is making life interesting – if chaotic.

As I plan to be attending the London Screenwriting Festival at the end of October, it only seems right to enter their competition. I’ve got the idea, and I’ve started writing it. I’ve got a month to complete it – which should be enough time, I hope.

Currently I’m about a third of the way through the plan, so it’s on schedule. We’ll just have to see how it goes.
