I'm still about, folks, still pushing away to a lesser degree. Daygig is exhausting, but we just got back from Disney a few days ago and I'm grateful for the opportunity to enjoy my incredible family (no far-reaching pun intended there).
You'll recall I had asked some months back how folks start their process on a new project as my jump-right-in-blind-and-stupid technique was not always effective, especially without the tequila. Since I'm generally tech-savvy, I decided to try a software application to help me develop a new idea I really liked. So far, so good, it's forcing me to write backstory, think out characters and illuminate my cluttered-closet mind. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I also got back my Nicholl and Austin rejection letters. If you've moved on in these competitions, pat yourself on the back for me, cheers to you.

Out of curiosity, what software are you using?
(And I'm glad to see you're back at it.)
Tom, please don't sue me. I stole your idea.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?
Well, as I said to Scotty Ze Reader, "Screw 'Em!"
Contests, while important, are such a crapshoot, that a letter of rejection is really meaningless.
You might have the best script ever written but the schmo that read yours had read 10000 other scripts before it, it was the end of the day or something and he just skimmed it and didn't "get it." Who knows. Keep pushing!
