When you've been working on a script for a long time. I mean, a LONG time. Months and months. Rewrites and rewrites and polishes and tweaks. But it's still not right. Almost, but not quite there. It's easy to say hell with it and send it out.
Because you're sick of it. You want to start or go back to something else or at the very lease, take it off your desk.
This is understandable. But the wise screenwriter is one who is able to stick it out a little longer. Maybe another week or two. Long enough to get it right. To get it as good as it can be before you drop it in the mail to that agent who's willing to look at it or that producer you pitched the idea to.
Being a professional is having the intelligence and experience to know that you'll only get one shot to have somebody who can help you read your script.
So make sure they read it when it's truly ready. |
