AND THE WINNER IS. . .ME!

This post is part of the monthly blog hop/therapy session known as the Insecure Writers Support Group, 

August 7 question:  Has your writing ever taken you by surprise? For example, a positive and belated response to a submission you'd forgotten about or an ending you never saw coming?

Actually, yes!

I had been working on a short film...

It was my first time writing a screenplay...

The project took more than a year...

Getting stalled in funding.

One day I saw a competition in Writer’s Digest...

And I thought, hmmm? Why not give it a shot?

After getting the “OK” from the producer...

I entered the screenplay in the “script" category.

Weeks went by...
Months went by...

Nothing...

I figured, oh well, it was my first screenplay...

What were the odds?

But then...

I got the notice...

While I didn’t win any of the “places” first, second or third...

I did get an honorable mention...

My name was listed in Writer’s Digest...

And I got a 20% discount on the magazine for one year.

Not bad for my first go-round.

And you? 
Ever write a screenplay? Or wanted to?

Always,

Em-Musing
