On the same 'confidence in what we've submitted' note - has anyone had the same experience as me?
In brief; I wrote and submitted one entry (a redraft of something I'd already got pretty much 100% complete for my local AmDram) and then, because I wanted to max my chances here, I took a long, cool look at both what I'd written and the parameters of the competition - and I felt that what I'd got wasn't right for TV or the West End.
As a result, I wrote a second - and suddenly found that I was amazingly excited by the second and the first had almost palled into insignificance! Better still - I've spent hours on as many search engines as I can find, and I think that the theme and genre of my second submission has NEVER been used before.
I am so confident in the SECOND (as yet well incomplete) play, that if I DON'T make the final of TPTT I'm definitely going to write it up in full and start submitting it to Agents!
So to answer your question without seeming TOO big-headed - I'll be gutted if I don't at least make a shortlist!

Hope I'll see you there!
(PS - Really sorry about your Mum being shot!)
Good luck Adman. Me, I haven't entered, just an interested passerby!
