Hurry!

So painfully close to being finished with this one. I'm stuck for that one little twist at the end. I don't mean a plotty reversal, more of an emotional twist, just that little dash of whatever it needs to put it over the top, make it come totally alive. I've got a binful of rejected ideas, five, (count-em) rewrites, a clear outline and about five pages to work with. AAARRGGHHH!

Stuck. A year, or even a few months ago, I wouldn't have been stuck. I would have just finished the thing, called it good enough and started seeking advice. But now I've written, read, and done reports on more scripts, I know what I would say about this one - promising, but needs development. That's a good thing, in a way. I have awoken my inner critic, and he stands there, like a sweary chef, tipping my half-baked omelets into the bin. But on the other hand, I really want to be done with this one and move on to the next dish, a bit of a romantic thriller comedy with a great female lead.

Come on, brain!
