Big Finish 5th Doctor Winner Announced

[wshaffer]

So, Big Finish have announced the winner of their 5th Doctor script pitch opportunity. It's a script by Rick Briggs. No relation to Nick Briggs. Congrats to Rick Briggs!

I would have been thrilled if they'd commissioned my script, but wasn't really expecting it. I think I had higher hopes for my entry in their Short Trips short story competition, but that wasn't selected either. Ah well, I had so much fun with both entries (especially the script pitch) that I can't complain.

Plus, all this rejection is making me feel like a real writer. Time to get together something else to submit and have rejected!

Sorry you didn't win, but your positive attitude is inspiring me to write, too! :)

The fact that you have that reaction is an even bigger sign that you feel like a real writer. :-)

To be honest, I did sulk a bit when I found out my Short Trips short story wasn't accepted.

But I'd allowed myself to get terribly lax about actually submitting stuff before these two competitions came along, and this has been a welcome reminder that the sting of rejection actually isn't so bad.

That is a good, healthy attitude!
