Just finished the full read. Thought it was a...Lol. Just finished the full read. Thought it was all great in the lead up, and just maybe a little too much comedy once they get to the island. But, since the comedy did have me laughing (lol. We need raises to pay off the mercenaries!) it worked for me. BTW I thought I created a messed up family tree for team chynna. I think you guys take the cake. Out of marriage love babies, evil mastermind children, the forgotten daughter, experimental father, mother dying of an experiment or have the goliath younger son IDK. But jesus thanksgiving must be something to behold in that family.Escaronditohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524604824269183560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-31731058338086129562010-11-04T12:47:32.398-07:002010-11-04T12:47:32.398-07:00First, thanks to TBSR for this fun opportunity. I...First, thanks to TBSR for this fun opportunity. I'll admit, at first glance of the final product, I thought to myself "What the?" I had to remind myself, with a little help from TBSR that this was intended to be fun as well as an experimental challenge. I have since found myself enjoying it that much more.<br />The reality is, this is an exercise. It places each of the writers in to a group in order to experience such a setting. There's a ton of thoughts that go through your head, confusion, laughter, possibly frustration. In the end, enjoyment should be fulfilled. At the very least, take away from it that this was something to contribute to, rather than running along at your own pace and attempting to flesh out 90+ pages on your own.<br />Another side to it, IS the group setting. A lot of writers tend to want to be the driver. Therein lies the question of how partners get by. Granted, we were unable to collaborate on each piece, there is a level of appreciation and respect that is found from a project like this. Attempting to progress from something that someone else has written is a great challenge.<br />In closing, I'd like to convey that a project like this has it's hidden fortune for a writer. If for no other reason than to pry you away from whatever story you've been working on and give you a break.<br />TBSR, thanks again. Much appreciated.<br /><br />-Mr. AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-62417745737854126002010-11-04T09:14:11.478-07:002010-11-04T09:14:11.478-07:00Fixed!Fixed!The Bitter Script Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575166527272639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-85164049750864370122010-11-04T06:41:34.511-07:002010-11-04T06:41:34.511-07:00What happened to pages 39-51?...What happened to pages 39-51?...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-69018062200601451042010-11-04T03:37:12.172-07:002010-11-04T03:37:12.172-07:00I found the experiment to be eye-opening. I always...I found the experiment to be eye-opening. I always read finished scripts online and don't have access to a lot of writers in everyday life. I don't get to see the raw process and compare it to my own. It revealed a lot about my own skills and my feelings about collaborative writing. <br /><br />I think I'm doing o.k. in my learning. I was worried that my lack of proper schooling in screenwriting would put my behind my peers. I was relieved to see that I could shoot par.<br /><br />I don't care for the collaborative process. Not having control of the entire script frustrated me. That's not to say I didn't like what others wrote, I just like to be in the driver's seat. Having that control issue told me that I'll have to learn to bite my lip and hush up when a producer or director eventually has dominion over my creations.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me be part of this!<br /><br />-HankAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
