Are you a gristle writer?

Maybe once, at most, per screenplay.

Then I start the second draft.

It's that damn superiority, drives us all nuts.

Use that hatred, steg. Let it turn your fingers into typing furies; let the air friction melt the fat and leave only lean strips of steaming hot beef behind.

Wait, I don't get it.

You asked and I answered.

And, you hate me?

Perhaps because it takes you several drafts to get something decent?

...wow...

stegosaurus, this really needs to stop. I tried the gentle humor approach, because I thought the "Writing Comedy" thread invited same. Didn't seem to work. Okay, my mistake.

At the top of the page you'll find a Private Message link, feel free to use it in place of bickering in forum threads. Not that I can guarantee you'll receive a reply. There's also the Take It Outside Board, if you prefer an audience.

Once again I'm none too sure what you're objecting to or arguing about. Who can predict how many drafts a script needs to work? To me the idea of 10 drafts is incomprehensible. So what? We're all different, we all write differently. It's a lottery. Would you challenge other lottery players to explain why they picked certain numbers for the next draw? I hope not... but if you do, PM them please.

Closing the thread.
