feeling listless

Film Some great screenplay writing tips:

"I think people see inspiration as the ignition that starts the process. In fact, real moments of inspiration often come at the last minute, when you've sweated and fretted your way through a couple of drafts. Suddenly, you start to see fresh connections, new ways of doing things. That's when you feel like you're flying. The real pleasure of any script is the detail. And a lot gets lost in the process. Put it back in at the last minute."

When I used to delude myself with scripting I most enjoyed simply writing scenes from the top, middle and bottom and then seeing how they'd join together. The main problem I had was that I much preferred character work, but all of my ideas demanded masses of plotting.
