That single cup brewing system would look mighty fine in my kitchen...
I WANT IT. I'm writing the scene, starting now.
I'm not living in Continental US right now... but who knows... next year? ;)
These are always tough because how do write a self-contained 3-page scene, without context, that's any good? You basically have to write a short, which is different from a scene, so why not just ask for a short instead? I could use a new chair though, so maybe I'm in. :)
Thanks for the heads up, I will be attempting the scene, why the hell not. Carson is right though. 3 pages on why I deserve it. It is a tough assignment.
According to the "Rules" the winner will be chosen at random, so, I guess it doesn't really matter how good or bad your scene it.
You can also enter by mail by sending a 3 x 5 card with your information--no mention of having to send a scene.
robo massage chair??
I'm in!!
"Why do I deserve the ultimate writer's workspace giveaway?" How vague can it be? does it mean the scene/short must include the author's actual bio, you know like writing an essay for scholarships? or does it mean just show off your chop for screenwriting on any story you want to tell?
Looks like they updated the Rules page. It no longer says that the winner will me chosen at random, and now it says the mail-in entries should include a printout of their scene.
I guess everyone who entered by mail prior to the rule change is out of luck.
The new rules also don't state exactly how the winner will me chosen. Hmmmm.
Hi All,
Thanks for your posts. Entries have run the gamut from straightforward autobiography to an action scene that uses workspace items in novel ways. The only stipulations are the three pages max, in any genre, with at least two and no greater than eight characters. The prompt of explaining why you need the space is just that — a prompt. You don’t lose points for interpretation when it comes to the content of the scene.
Thanks for your comments,
Maureen
lose the vibro-chair, throw in a mac laptop instead ;)
So, I entered this contest but realized that:
1. It didn't say what format your script was supposed to be in. I sent a pdf -- figured it was a somewhat safe bet.
2. I didn't receive a confirmation screen. It was just a bunch of garbled gibberish.
I'm thinking of writing the contest creators to see if they did indeed receive my script.
I would love a massage chair! I need to relax in my office!
Haier® Refrigerator/Freezer Color Cube A mini, 1.7 cubic foot, refrigerator and freezer to keep the champagne cold while you wait to hear from the studio.
Retail Price: $187.33 would look great in my office- then I could lock myself in...hold on where do I go potty then- well- we'll work something out.
