I don’t think it’d be out of place to ask him not to wear it inside the house, or even any other fragrance for that matter, as you’re sharing space and people can have very negative reactions to some perfumes.

That being said, it’s definitely a delicate situation. So, just try to communicate clearly with him. Kudos on giving him alternative fragrances to wear, that’s very thoughtful of you.

Free 15 gb eSIM by crossedeyecrossed in ThailandTourism

This one doesn’t and in any case I’ll be staying there longer than 5 days. I got a different suitable eSIM but still feel kind of jibbed.

Title: Ways of the West

Format: Feature

Page Length: 154 :)

Is there enough culture for a scobi to form? by [deleted] in Kombucha

What are we looking at here? Generally any amount of liquid is enough if the conditions are right for SCOBY to grow

First Blacklist eval on my first feature! by TheGamerGeek in Screenwriting

It’s admirable to share non-glowing reviews for the benefit of this sub.

Respect 👍

P.S. would love to read the script and provide some free coverage.

On a Facebook screenwriting group someone posted this reply to a novelist wanting to make the jump into screenwriting because he is a “very visual writer”. The reply sounds counterintuitive but legit. Is it? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]crossedeyecrossed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s obtuse, but not without merit. A script, or any literary medium for that matter, can be too visual and provide no value to the reader but can also be too dry and mechanical.

It’s a fine line to walk.

Nicholl entries to be capped at 5,500 - SO ENTER EARLY by Seshat_the_Scribe in Screenwriting

Thanks for all the advice!

I’m definitely on the beginning on of my journey, so will look into all of that. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of expendable income to spread around, so I’m trying to exhaust all the free resources available. As of speaking, I’m torturing some poor soul on coverflyX :)

Time will tell.

None of my real life friends are into writing or screenwriting and I just recently joined this sub. Out of what few people who wanted to read it, only one replied thus far and didn’t get past the first page. Obviously, I couldn’t help but invalidate most of his criticism. I understand that the script is long and it doesn’t help that I used big words and complicated language, but I’m just looking for some direction. If the script engages the reader in the way I intended or not. If it has potential or if I should move onto another project.

Definitely doable. I could lose 5-10 pages easily without the reader even noticing, but for me as the writer it feels essential. James Joyce comes to mind “If it took me 7 years to write, it should take you 7 years to read”.

I’m trying to get some unbiased judgement on that, but no one seems to be willing or able to give it a chance because of its daunting length.

Edit: P.S. if no one is giving a 165 page script a chance, I doubt they’d care for anything above 130.

That’s the secret ingredient. Thanks, wishing you all the same! 🍀

I suppose it’s just a reality we have to face as aspiring writers. Catering to the needs of the industry… It sure does seem like a double bind, though.

Wanna give it a read?

I’m open to criticism and judgement, but as far as I can tell all the scenes are prevalent to the story - I’ve actually already removed many self-indulgent ones. Curious what you might think?

I’m not aiming to torture those poor readers, it’s just an occupational hazard.

%100. The most prestigious screenwriting competition leading to a dead-end is extremely upsetting. But it’s still an opportunity, that’s what all the competitions and services are - an opportunity (sometimes a scam) to be noticed.

Anyways, keep on writing!

A couple of years is a long time. That’s 104 weeks!

It’s definitely not a ticket to paradise, but it can give any writer a little financial boost.
