Anyone else checking their email compulsively today, just in case?

Anyone else checking their email compulsively today, just in case? Certainly not and I dislike being accused... (Yes, yes I have been doing that)

I'm happy I entered this opportunity. Combined with another one I entered it helped me to get back into the flow of writing. I'm now 13,000 words into a novel that I've had on the back burner for a while.

Sounds like the winner has already been contacted. Certainly not me, but that's okay. Whoever it is, I still congratulate all who've entered.

For me, I've no plans to (re)submit it to another official BF competition, now that I'm working on the full rough draft script which I'm very pleased about. Once that's done, I may consider adapting it as a prose short story (an idea which I've been having for a while).

No email... I'm quite sad. Same here. I think they've contacted only the winner.

Hello again. Brave heart, those who have not been contacted. You are one up on me. You have created an audio script and sent it in. That is an achievement to be celebrated. Maybe have a look at other script opportunities. Look at nucleusoftheswarmv2 who is now a script writer for the BBC. There is advice and a screenwriting tips thread on the Creatives board of this forum and on the BBC Writer's Room site. www.bbc.co.uk/writersroomThink of this opportunity as a first step and well done all of you who entered.

It's one thing to create a story in your mind, but another thing to translating it down to the form-factor of audio drama. I also applaud anyone who had made this effort.
Really, whenever I've seen the title of this thread, my mind only jumps on the alt-universe Warner Doctor meeting up with our Ol' Sixie. I love me a bit of snark, and I think WarnerDoc and Sixie are rather good at it... and Benny is no slouch in that area. Now just that premise in mind, could I write a snarkfest DW story, that still is at the BBC/BF-level? Likely not, I'm not a writer. However, I'd be first in line to buy it if someone else does!

Hey all, I know it's been a long while since the deadline, but I hope you're all coping well with the wait. Even though I previously mentioned that I would write the full script, I haven't had the chance to start yet. The reason for this is because I've actually been extremely busy with working on the Paul Spragg ReCollections anthology, over the past few weeks. I may go back to it at some point, but not entirely sure right now. We'll see...

First step... I'm 47... I've been knocking on doors for 30 years. Lol I suspect it's time to stop. JRR Tolkien was 45 when he took a first step into literary success when his first book "The Hobbit" was published. Raymond Chandler was 51 when he took his first step as his first book "The Big Sleep" was published. Kathy Bates' first step into film fame came at the age of 42 with "Misery". Samuel L Jackson was 45 when his standout role as Jules in "Pulp Fiction" led to his first step into fame and fortune. Morgan Freeman was 52 when he took his first step into the role that made him famous - playing the chauffeur to Jessica Tandy's character in the film "Driving Miss Daisy". And Susan Boyle was 48 when she took that first step onto the "Britain's Got Talent" stage and blew everyone away with the power of her singing voice. Half a dozen examples I came up with off the top of my head and verified on the Internet. If age was irrelevant to these six finding success, why should your age be relevant to you? Don't lose heart because you weren't successful this time and don't give up trying to take that first step because of it. Oh..and thought of another. Dame Judi Dench was well known in theatre and television, but she was 61 when she took her first step into a film career playing M in "Goldeneye"..

(Also, thanks for the shoutout ker, but I'm not an employee of the BBC. I simply wrote on a show they distributed, and hopefully, on more to come).
If you like, T, I'm available to talk over messages about what you'd like to do.
