I'm One Self-Imposed Script Note Away From Killing Cuddly Woodland Creatures

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

Is there anything worse in the world worse than leaving your work for a few months, work you were proud of, only to go back to it and realise it wasn't very good, and you're actually nowhere near being finished?

I don't think there is.

You know, as my comic looks more and more like it might actually be getting published, I realize just how much rewriting I have to do.

I know. I got sixty pages in the can, hit a wall, and decided to walk away from it for a while to come back to it fresh. Now I'm back, it looks worse than when I was working on it.

I hate rewriting. Hate hate hate it. All of the balance between character interaction and continuity can be completely screwed up by one small change. Rewriting is all about juggling twenty different elements and making sure that you don't drop one, or change something and suddenly another scene doesn't fit or make any sense.

I feel ya, dawg. I just dropped a whole sub-plot from my script, because I couldn't make it fit the overal tone. Now scenes following it have to have that element removed from it, and a few before it, too.

Keep editing then.

Rewriting drives me up a fucking wall too.
