@ Seun

Directors make movies out of novels, so it's your duty to make what's unfilmable filmable. A writer is not so visual but rather concentrated on the emotions he can possibly transmit to the reader.

If you a story then be ready to edit yourself otherwise ask for a more filmable format. Such as a play!

As far as I know, I have not rejected any stories for being too "emotional". Write first and complain later.

It's only one person you will give 25,000, what about others who cracked their brain to write you the story? they got nothing??
"Cracking your brain" is not a bad thing because it makes you a better writer. Practice makes perfect. Ask Adichie.


Bros Seun, practice makes perfect at what?!

Only good practice makes good perfect, bad practice makes baddest/worstest perfect!!!

Job man.

You want to use style collect script free of charge.
Came meet me, and tori go full ground.

Only good practice makes good perfect, bad practice makes baddest/worstest perfect!!!

That is laziness talking. There's nothing like bad practice. The more you write, the better you become.

True, This! —
Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyze the Cesars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
States can be saved without it!

- Lesson teachers.
- Effect of parents' divorce or family trouble on schoolwork.
- Sex education.

There are different solutions to a problem.


What happens if you have more than one story you can work with?

Will you give the writers 25k each or?


My work is on the way

What happens if you have more than one story you can work with?

If or when that happens, I'll just select the best one and return the others for you to use elsewhere.

Seun, why re u giving out free ideas, many of which i've thought of already!  Let each writer-contestant think up their own ideas please.

Ok, I'll stop.  There are two reasons why I decided to post those story ideas:
(1) To help writers with their brainstorming process.  (2) To silence those who think I'm just looking for ideas.

Nice!  I can't wait to read your story.

@lwise: you sound interesting. I may contact you later - just to chat, though - because my focus is on this contest.

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,thats cool way to make money,thanks @least december is fast approaching lol

If you are intrested, go ahead and do it and if you are not just stay off. but for me, I'm not that cheep!

no need; there is no seriouness in this issue

I have been away from Nairaland for a while now, and it is nice to run into this on my return.

Seun says he is a budding movie producer, so who knows if the movie he'll make will even repay his investment. I would have loved to write, but time is not at my disposal, and I got some great stories. True life too.

For all those who have the effontery to open their loud mouths to run this initiative down, just think: what did you ever invest 25k in, which you believed would work? Seun put nairaland together, give this dude some credit.

If the pay is too small for you, then just shut up and Bleep off okay. Seun kudos bros.

Tee hee heee

hello ,
can names be mentioned in the stories and are you selecting more than one story ,becos i cnt waste my energy ooooooo
