Scott Sigler screenplay contest...
Remember a while back I was working on a script for a competition? If you've forgotten here are the contest details and here's my entry.
Today, Scott announced the winners on his podcast and on his site. You can download the episode and find out the names of the winners here.
Looks like I might be one of the winners...
FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!!!!! (Apologies for the bad language mum!)
I and the other three winners (Shua Mullikin of Atlanta, Georgia - Paul Crowe of the Netherlands - and Anne Kelsey of Londonderry, New Hampshire) have known the result for a few weeks now, and have been patiently waiting for the official announcement so we could shoot our mouths off to anyone and everyone.
So to Scott and Brent, thank you thank you thank you for picking my humble effort as worthy, and thanks for the opportunity to be one of the writers on the project. It is doubly gratifying for two reasons. Firstly, I have not tried screen writing before. Sure, I had in the past knocked out things that I thought were scripts, but until I started writing the script for this project, I had no idea what format a script should be in, the mechanics of scriptwriting etc. I'm still not sure to be honest, but hey, that's what second drafts are for!
Secondly, since entering the contest, and since finding out the result, I have had the two worst pieces of criticism of my writing I had ever received. I'm talking real vitriolic, take you down a peg or two, not just pointing out areas that could be improved, but pure spiteful "you suck and should give up now" criticism. And man, I so wanted to just round on these people and tell them "I suck huh? I suck so bad that a number one, Amazon best-selling author picked me to collaborate with, so smoke on that dipshit!"
But I refrained, firstly because I was asked not to mention it until the official announcement, and secondly I'm too much of a gentleman to call someone a dipshit...
So that's the news I've been sitting on for a while, desperate to tell you but sworn to secrecy. It's a huge boost coming so early in my nascent writing career. Off course now this means I'm Scott Sigler's bitch. Mind you, there are worse things to be...
