Londoner Maria Paola Chironi became our first international contributor over the weekend with a submission that was chosen as this week’s runner up.
MP, as she signs her emails, came close by using colorful description (“The car that shouldn’t exist flies like a jet on the road, but in perfect silence”) and vivid visuals to bring to life an imaginative narrative. She also helped herself by including a note to explain some of her writing decisions and some thoughts about future story arcs she was setting up.
One of these involved a bit of structural sleight-of-hand that, while impressive in its creativity, I felt did not belong in this part of the script. She suggested I could save that section for later, but who knows where our story is going? Nope, the rules say we write this thing one week at a time, and I’m sticking with that.
But nice job anyway, Maria Paola! You’ve proven that a good writer doesn’t have to be from L.A., or even America, if she’s willing to do the slightest research and has an understanding of our story’s issues and elements.
By coincidence, while Maria Paola was conceiving her pages about Los Angeles in the London tube, this week’s selection, submitted by an L.A.-based writer, displays a keen awareness of an aspect of life in part of the U.K.
I’ll add those pages to the script-in-progress tonight and write more here tomorrow in my script notes about their author and what they portend.
