I have a script that I wrote last year. I love it. Some friends love it. My agent and a writer friend whose opinion I trust both felt that something was missing from it. I refuse to let the idea go. They couldn't put their finger on exactly what was missing. Then last night I'm watching one of my movie channels, quickly going past the soft-core porn when I come across "Heaven Can Wait." Have to watch it. Suddenly the light bulb goes off and I realize that I need to change the tone of the other script. My script is nothing like "Heaven Can Wait," but that movie made me realize that the tone of mine was wrong.
Tone is something I always try to be aware of. Keeping it consistent throughout the entire script. But, I had never before thought that maybe the tone of the whole script was wrong and that maybe it didn't really fit my writing style. Anyway, feel great today because I think I can rescue this sucker. Of course, I'll let you all know what happens.
And let me know if you've had this happen to you.
