Quit now and I will make sure the blood stops pumping.

Re: Motivate me for a rewrite

Do you know what you're doing with the rewrite? I finished a script in Sept that I swore was it... the final, final draft... let it sit a few months then let others have at it (one or two on this board).

Then I printed all their comments, cut and pasted them (literally) onto different pages that separated everyone's comments/complaints.

After the near-suicide, I realized I had so many new ideas that I was fired up to fix the problems.

Re: Motivate me for a rewrite

While you're waiting for someone else to motivate you, I'm working on my next two scripts that are so exciting I can barely sleep at night.

So go ahead and wait, because the field is over-crowded anyway.

Re: Motivate me for a rewrite

Motivation: I've heard about at least three very similar scripts that are about to hit the market March 1st

I think that's the best one. With my first script, I kept tinkering with it, putting it aside for too long o' periods of time...

... and then after a couple of years of this, I caught the opening scene of a flick that was exactly my opening scene, and the rest of the script hinged on that scene.

Wasn't too happy about that, but it taught me to start getting them done and fast.

Not that it matters for me, but it's a good theory.

Re: Motivate me for a rewrite

For me, I just cannot stand having anything unfinished!

I have to work it and work it, until I feel I have to abandon it, because it is as good as it will get.
