I always forget to post here: Foiled by my horror story fiction writing and habitually putting everything in the past tense. I have to seriously work on that for my screenplay classes. I caught myself doing it quite a lot but must’ve missed some instances…

Submission Feedback
Overall Feedback
Hi Tom, Nice job on your rough draft! Mrs. Smith is a character that the reader/viewer roots for. I really like the tension in this script and the way you've isolated the protagonist - where she mostly has to rely on herself to solve this critters problem. The script has a Tales from the Darkside or Creepshow feel to it - which is always fun. You have a few times in the narrative notes where you write in past tense instead of present tense. I can see going through and checking to keep it all present.

I just finished the very first draft of the very first screenplay I've ever written (for class, it's a one-scene screenplay), and I'm kinda excited. It was certainly different than writing a book or short story...

This is a very serious problem for libraries, archives, and knowledge-keepers of all kinds. If you don’t control access to your collections, *you do not have collections.* If we do not have permanent access to records, stories, & sources of knowledge then our histories and memories are not our own.
