Comment on Shitting myself by theFrog

Aloha “Bill” from somewhere in the vicinity of Valencia, CA who uses Road Runner internet service and has an IP address of 76.87.97.51… I was going to email you back, but your email address didn’t work. Hmmm. Odd that in an anonymous blog, you would chose to further obfuscate yourself. No matter…

What I was going to email to you was this:

There is a sample of “The Soup Storm” here http://monicamjacobs.com/2009/03/the-first-few-pages/

Feel free to check it out. You don’t have to, but since you’re judging me based on something you haven’t read, you could at least read a piece. Up to you. Do or don’t, it’s fine. I’m even willing to send you the whole thing in pdf format if you’d like. Again, up to you.

More than that, of COURSE I wouldn’t include writing like that in something that I was trying to sell. What I write here is what I would write my friends. I could be mistaken, but do you always talk to your friends the way you would talk in a job interview? Work… home… two different places, two different people.

Also, nowhere in that post did I say anything about expecting to win. I’m very much expecting NOT to win. For me, the “prize” was completing the goal I had set for myself to finish a screenplay and submit it. I have done that. I am satisfied with that.

I open the door to you for an open discourse if you’d like. I, however, doubt that a coward such as yourself would show here again.

I haven’t read “The Soup Storm”, but if it contains writing like “I’m shitting myself, I’m absolutely shitting myself” I wouldn’t get too excited about winning any prize…

This is one of those things like the DVR… you’re freaking out now, but once you see it and use it, you’ll wonder how we ever lived without it.

Timing is everything, and as you noted it is a good time to get those critiques and changes done, Just pretend you already sent in the application, and start on the tweaking, the way you know you will later, and at least you will be able to do so at a much more relaxed pace.

I miss the days when I used to get a tax refund rather than having to pay every year.

Which Gabriel Garcia Marquez work inspired you? I love his writing — Love in the Time of Cholera is one of my all-time faves.

A big CONGRATS to you for finishing your screenplay! Though I’m no writer, I would love to read it. Good luck in the competition. How fn awesome would it be if you won?

Thank you, Lindy… Believe me, hearing that I’m not crazy for feeling the way I was feeling is more helpful than I could possibly express.

This has been a tough two weeks

I think you had every reason to totally unload. Having TPO deployed is reason enough.
