"Night Crier" Advances to the Next Round (Open Writing Assignment)!

I submitted my script, "Night Crier," to an Open Writing Assignment in the Writers' Room, and it reached the next round of consideration at a major company!

You can submit to Open Writing Assignments if you're a member of the Writers' Room (https://www.stage32.com/writers-room).

Alana Gerdes

Congrats, that‘s great news Maurice! Fingers crossed that it will go even further!

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks, Alana Gerdes! I appreciate the comment and support! How are your projects going?

Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg

Congrats!

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks, Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg! I was submitting the script to producers and companies before, and I kept thinking, "Why isn't anyone buying this script?" I ended up reading the script again after a while and saw problems with it (problems I didn't see before). I fixed those problems before submitting the script to the Open Writing Assignment, which is one reason I think the script advanced to the next round.

Richard "RB" Botto

We're seeing more requests than ever these days. Speaks to the quality of the writing! Here's to opening doors and building more chairs at the table.

Bill Brock

I work from a standing desk, so no chair required. ; )

The doors won't budge. Swinging by Home Depot today to pick up some WD-40.

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks, Eric Sollars.

Maurice Vaughan

I appreciate it, Gordan.

Maurice Vaughan

I've been noticing members getting more and more requests, RB. "Speaks to the quality of the writing." Exactly. I wasn't getting many requests for "Night Crier," but after I rewrote it some more -- making it better -- I got more requests.

Maurice Vaughan

Do you think it's better to write standing up or sitting, Bill?

Michael Elliott

What genre?

Maurice Vaughan

Horror/Action, Michael. The sub-genres are Contained Horror/Survival Horror/Monster.
