Firstly, a big hello to everyone on the forum Big Grin

Something that's just crossed my mind from reading other posts is this: How many of you have never tried to write a play before? Because I haven't! The only writing I've done is a bit of fan fiction - and that was years ago!

However, I've had this idea for a play for ages so it's good to finally get it out of me and down in words. Especially since I've just finished my degree - gives me something to do of an evening Smile

The other thing is - if you had to guess, how many people do you think are entering this? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? 42?

Anyway, that was all, just wanted to say hello really.

Catch you guys later, and best of luck with your submissions. - Alex

Alex,
Welcome to the forum, there are a good bunch of people on this forum and most offer constructive unbiased opinions and guidance.
The reason I mention that is this is my first time at a play and probably the first time at a competition as well. I'm sort of hoping this is my first time of winning too...... Live in hope etc.

As regards numbers, who can tell on these things, as you say 100's 1000's 43
Good luck anyway regards

Hello Alex,

I don't think it matters too much whether you have written a play before - so long as your entry has good plot and dialogue.

I was lucky, my daughter was very into drama (now studying Stage Technology at LIPA) and got me involved. I have had two plays produced as amateur productions and I have learnt a heck of a lot from being involved both as a writer and lately as a performer.

We should all regard this as experience and (here's where I creep) thank C4 for giving total unknowns a chance. (Especially aging ones like me)

Best of luck


I only arsked . . .
