Winning is for losers!

Over on the Done Deal screenwriters' message board, in the Writing Exercises forum, the man known only as JCorona has been running a fun "March Madness" short script contest (up to 5 pages, any genre). Kind of an annual event now.

I hadn't written anything script-ish for a while — heck I even blew this year's V.D. Contest (er, that's Valentine's Day, not...) — so I decided I'd chuck a script into the MM contest. Hell yeah! Go me!

Thus my frantic brain drove my typing finger to pound the keyboard day and night. My keyboard received such abuse that it's been acting up since, backspacing at random to wipe out characters, but despite this technical difficulty I came up with not one, but 4 short scripts in the space of as many days.

I read them over with enormous pride, and entered a glowing self-congratulatory state of being that touched true nirvana, until I realized they were all sh!t on a stick. But that's besides the point! Winning is for losers, it's the trying that matters! Didn't Yoda say as much to Luke? I'm pretty sure he did.
