When do you feel like you're done with the project you're working on?
I ask cause I've been working two years on a screenplay. I even tried to put it away earlier but dug heavily back into it this year and improved it a lot.
I intended Nicholl to be my final goal with it. But ran out of time for perfecting my final act. I think acts 1 and 2 sing beautifully, and act 3 has a lot of terrific stuff and a great finale.
But act 3 is not as polished overall as the rest, and I'm having a hard time coping with having to turn it in like that. And that I still have work ahead.
Since a screenplay is generally unfinished until it's produced, when do you consider your work done? How many drafts? What kinda deadlines? Etc.
I would really like to feel confident in it being finished, shop it around, give myself a little breather, and then start on the next script.
