It seemed like a really good idea at the time, this screenplay. But for the past two weeks I've found myself utterly unable to work up even the faintest amount of enthusiasm for its premise. That's not a good sign. If I can't get excited about it, how am I supposed to get an agent or producer excited about it? This is the same thing that happened when I tried to write the same screenplay for last year's Nicholl Fellowship, and it's why I ended up not entering. I realized I hated the story too close to the deadline to start another.
Why I decided to drag the thing out and work on it again, I've no idea. Maybe just because I'd already done some work on it, and I didn't have any new ideas.
But I know people have finished writing projects they hated before... how do they do it? Do they ever turn out well? Am I ever going to find a way to "love the one I'm with"?
