Re: Nearing completion - what's next?
This happens to many screenwriters. Act One has been rewriting 100 times and pages 25-100 got nothing.
Got to tell yourself, I'm going to read this whole thing and take big sweeping notes of what doesn't work.
Then you can focus on fixing big things.
Then you can go back and focus on only dialogue. Then dialogue of one character.
Then fixing up action lines.
Then rereading the entire thing again.
By the way printing the script out really makes you see mistakes you wouldn't see otherwise.
