I think this is my white whale and there really is no joke here.
it's not a joke, it's more of a sight gag. Like someone is crapping in a bathroom that also contains the laundry room detergents and the like. He runs out of toilet paper, then waddles over and grabs the box of Bounce. It's cheap, but it's funny enough to get a laugh.
I'm starting a new "screenplay" today, and I'm really excited about it. That being said I have a 21 page outline, that no one besides myself has read, so it could very well be a mess, but I'm so emersed I don't see this taking very long. Should have it done in a week's time, and if I wasted a week... wouldn't be the first time.
Question - I use ellipses way too much. I feel it makes for more naturally sounding dialogue in a lot of cases, and I'm constantly using it on message boards, as you can see in the paragraph above.
I know the proper way to use it is . . . with the spaces, but when I write I always just go... three periods, space. Is that something you'd get in trouble for? I know they crack down on minor things, but when I write, I'm always looking for acceptable ways to cut my length down.
