Terry Drayer's Lounge Discussions

Congratulations, Terry on finishing your first script, that’s great! Pleased to meet you!

That first script is always sweet, like your first kiss, which fits right in with your genre.

Congrats on finishing your script during quarantine!

Congratulations Terry on finishing your script. I'm on the Space Coast - we should connect/collaborate.

When a large eccentric family buys a defunct church, the townspeople mistake the surly grandfather for a minister and start showing up on Sunday mornings for services http://www.wheresthedrama.com/loglinespremises.htm

David, I must apologise, it was meant for Marc Everett, I used your name in error, I can do no more than apologise again - Marc acknowledged he is not a writer, he himself stated that he is at the bottom - it was not meant as a personal attack, more of a dig, as in mild facetiousness as opposed to sarcasm, an area often misunderstood on this site - you have outstanding credentials, you have said nothing that would warrant my criticism - I agree your note to Shelly was solid, I also agree with almost everything you wrote - but, I suspect your vast experience and success was not achieved because of your knowledge re prepositions, but from sheer hard work and talent which got you over the line - though, of course, your proper use of of grammar and punctuation would have assisted, LOL - again, sorry if I caused any distress, it was never intended.

As much as I lean toward proper grammar, English is constantly morphing, so if it makes sense to the reader, it probably works. There is no place for ad hominem attacks unless we want an unappealing forum here.

Hi David and everyone. I've really appreciated the comments and feedback, and imagine many others have too. Thanks for the insights.

I like the use of ad hominem, Rick, prefer the full argumentum ad hominem, though - I agree re the personal attacks, but too many here cannot discern the difference between a mild dig towards someone and a personal attack - I like this site, I like the people, but geez, too many are thin skinned and too sensitive over minor issues - perhaps it's our different culture, in Australia we often greet each other with good-natured insults, it's just our way - from my perspective it's only a personal attack when malice is applied, otherwise it's just banter, tongue-in-cheek, difference of opinion - simple.

Kudos Kimberly! I made quarterfinalist at Scriptapalooza this year for my first screenplay. Just that sent me over the moon, so I can imagine what you feel, you can be proud of you. Best of luck to Warsaw!

Awesome!

Congratulations, this will give you inspiration to continue on with other works, also hope you win it.

Every step is grand, but Finalist is especially giddy and scary. Big congrats. You obviously deserve it. Best of luck.

Congratulations! Success is always inspiring.
