no room for cheaters this year?

By JoyMC - Posted on 28 October 2008

so, i seem to remember that last year there was a space for people who were participating, but not totally official because they were working on something already started, etc.

have we gotten stricter this year?

i ask because the play i really want to be writing is one i started six months ago, when i wrote about 15 pages. i haven't touched it since, as i've been drowning in a fiction ghostwriting project. actually, i've looked at it a couple times, but been supremely stuck. i think this could be the best way to push through the stickiness and bust out a draft.

but it looks like there's no room for me if i've already started?

i could work on something else. this is just the thing i keep coming back to in my head when i'm doing the damn ghostwriting and thinking "i wish i was working on a play instead ..." it seems silly to write something else for the sake of writing something else, when this is the play i want to be writing.

FWIW, i would definitely exceed 75 pages. my full lengths are always around 100. so i would write at least 75 pages in the month of November ...

i know, i'm splitting hairs. feel free to scold me, Miss Dorothy. (we miss you in Seattle.)

Um.... Hmmmm..... if we start agreeing to rule breaking, all hell gets loose !

Josh, why don't we set up an "outsiders" forum or something like that... for people like Joy, who likes to be special and stuff. That way other special people can join her and we will just pretend that they are special and can break rules and stuff.

God, the things that happen when i am not around... it's unbelievable. :P

Go Rhino, go !

i won't tell

Don't tell anybody I said this, but we're just here to have fun. I think it's fine for you to write what you really want to write. Fifteen pages isn't very much, after all.
