Again, I've
done it!
I never cease to amaze myself.
My screenplay
submission in the Filmmatic Horror Screenplay Awards, TWISTED FATE, which I
consider my best work to date, has become my 223rd rejection. The results
email doesn’t give the typical “thank you for submitting, but…” The email says
to go check the list on their website to see if you made it. A little like
trying out for high school play back in the 70’s when you had to go check the
list to see which role you got. (I always got stagehand) Maybe if I had made it,
they would’ve sent a congratulatory email. IDK
I did not
find my name as grand prize winner. Nor did I find it on the list of ten
semifinalists. I searched the list of 300 quarterfinalists, that was not in
alphabetical order. To realize that I didn’t qualify in a field that large was
kind of a kick in the teeth.
At the risk
of jinxing myself, which I’m not sure is a thing considering how that’s worked
out so far, my 224th and 225th submissions are currently
out in the ether.
Thanks again
for reading my rant,
Jim
