But I'm a new comer to these sort of things. <br />I'd be grateful for any info on the exact link to the printable forms. <br />thanks<br />ketakeegondane@yahoo.com<br />xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-86727530380950707292007-01-01T12:07:00.000-06:002007-01-01T12:07:00.000-06:00Moviequill,

All I hope for in them is that by some miracle my script gets in the right hands of someone who will champion it. Winning or placing in ANY script competion means nothing to me, getting my precious vision on the big screen is the the goal. <br /><br />The pull of the tide for the pre-pro writer will to beach you on "Frustration Island" (a close dirivative of "Gilligan's Island" filled with Skipper and Gilligan's mishaps) if you let it. <br /><br />The key is to focus on factors in your control. Focus on your creativity and let your mind redirect the boat to cool places of discovery. <br /><br />- E.C. Henry from Bonney Lake, WAE.C.

BUT I still have faith in the Nicholl. Not all great scripts can advance. There are too many good ones and the whole thing is subjective. But most things in life are. There's no way to have a contest and take the subjectivity out of such a subjective business.MaryAn Batchellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465966881051431143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17813352.post-88120867159361110622006-12-31T11:46:00.000-06:002006-12-31T11:46:00.000-06:00I am extremely disillusioned as far as contests go...I am extremely disillusioned as far as contests go now. The only way someone can get anywhere is by luck of the draw, being the "reader" who gets assigned your script. They might hate voiceovers so you are in the trash before the end of page two. It doesn't matter the quality of writing, most of these readers will exert what they deem is Power. Look what the Nicholl finals did for Scott, basically nothing. $45 entry fee? I'd rather buy 100 stamps and send out queries to companies. I think my rate of return and R.O.I will be a lot better (of course this is my IMHO and I just used your blog to vent haha...
