The Good:

Am on page 74 of my script Hollywood Romance. Have had the time of my life writing it to date.

The Bad

Am stuck on page 74 of my script Hollywood Romance. Have had the time of my life writing it to date. Not quite sure how to reach the end.

The Ugly

Am stuck on page 74 of my script Hollywood Romance. Have had the time of my life writing it to date. The speed with which I was writing (74 pages in five days) is gone.

Perspective:

It took Kevin Smith a year and a half to write the last 110 odd pages of Jersey Girl.

Conclusion

I love script-writing. To me there are few things more fun (but they are a lot more fun) than sitting at a computer and writing down fiction with a hint of truth. Bringing characters to life via this medium is incomparable to anything else. When it goes well, it gives you a buzz like nothing else. When it doesn't, you feel angry and easily irritable. Writing a script is a rollercoaster, and one that is seldom ever boring.
