Niteshift mention an older script of mine in the General Forum Thread where I'm going WOO-ZOOOOOOO all over the place:-)
It's a script that took me 5 years to write the 1st time, only to find out, through a couple of script swap reviews (& 2 paid critiques), that I had sort of missed the mark and the whole thing, while a GREAT concept, ended up being "too episodic".
So I shelved it and chalked it up to inexperience...That was 5 years ago...Then, a year and a half ago, I had a new idea about the 2 main protaganists that I let simmer...And THEN, a week or so ago, something clicked and I'm now hard and heavy on another rewrite...What "they" would call a "Page one rewrite", because I am changing darned near everything but the title and basic concept.
All of that to say:
Regarding rewrites....Whether it is a song, or a longer art form..Art????.....Whatever....Here's some, hopefully inspirational, trivia:
It wasn't until the 6th rewrite of The Sixth Sense....That's the SIXTH REWRITE, that M. Night realized that the Bruce Willis character was dead...Aren't you, and I bet M. Night also, glad he didn't stop at 5?
How's about THEM apples, Folks?
Onward!

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
