They say: Don't wait, write

I’m waiting on a few big things at the moment.

My screenplay was selected to move forward for consideration for an OWA on Stage32, an important producer requested a read, and of course this competition will be announcing scripts soon.

I’m well aware that each opportunity could dry up at any moment, so I feel it’s crucial to keep moving forward. No waiting.

Whether that involves tweaking drafts or writing something new, it’s a good idea not to waste time sitting with fingers crossed.

Also.. the suspense is killing me, so I need to distract myself. :sweat_smile:

I honestly don’t know if you’ve distracted yourself or not but I was in the middle of writing something really good Ever since I read what you wrote I haven’t been able to stop laughing and now I can’t write anything at all The goal was to find a distraction but you’ve made me forget what I was even supposed to be writing in the first place​:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::+1:

Hahaha for you my advice is different. You need to take a break. You’ve lost the plot :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you so much. To be honest I have never felt this nervous before. I was laughing so hard that most of my family members woke up. Fortunately since it is the month of Ramadan they assumed I was waking them up for Sehri. That really saved me! Otherwise the way you put your words I was almost prepared to be kicked out of the :house: :saluting_face::palms_up_together:

My name is Sodha Iqbal Kasam. This might seem like a strange request, but I really wanted to reach out and speak with you. I will be free in about an hour, according to Indian Standard Time. Please respond only if you have a deep understanding and knowledge of writing, as I would love to discuss that with you

Hey Sodha!

I wouldn’t say I’m any kind of expert but I’m happy to have a chat. :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for replying. This is what life is all about. As I mentioned before, I saw your post and noticed how happy you were at that time. I felt that if we talked, it would bring you even more joy because life experience has taught me many things. One of the most beautiful things is seeing someone succeed and being part of their happiness. Everyone takes part in the race and everyone runs, but only the one who runs the fastest wins. I know many wonderful things about these kinds of achievements. In 2024, I added my 11th book, and even though it didn’t go viral, someone bought it on a contract, which changed my life completely. Such beautiful moments should happen to everyone. Being in the top 26 out of 2447 scripts is a great achievement and something to learn from

You’re the best Sodha! Such kind and wise words.

Writing (and rewriting) ‘DUE’ has been such a fun and formative experience. I can’t wait to see where it all takes me.
