The Grand Revision of a 22 Year Old Filmmaker

I finished my first feature length screenplay, The Grand Regret of a Teenage Superhero, in May 2008, having rushed it's completion so I could turn it in for class.
I was excited to see some of my characters that originally only had life in my original comics come alive in script format. So, initially, I was pleased with the outcome.

In the past year or so, I've tried my hand at developing both short and feature length screenplays. Only recently have I been very determined to get something new written...and have been getting very frustrated because I can't stick to one project and finish it.

I decided in the past few days nothing was getting done because I was unhappy with the way I left Grand Regret. It was rushed, written on the fly with little to no planning, and it was my first experience with script format. Ever. It's been nagging at my subconscious, and finally, I'm realizing what I need to do!

I cannot move forward until I am happy with my first screenplay. I love the characters, and I love the story. I have to make it into something I want to show people, instead of something I want to shove under my bed. Then, I can move forward to the various other projects I have planned.

So! Now that I have that figured out. My revision of Grand Regret initially scared my half to death. Now, I'm really liking some of the things I've been adding. The characters are fuller, the stakes higher, and I can really start to feel some emotion coursing through it. I'm having some issues with the villain's plotline, but I think that's something that I will visit once I've gone through once to change some character motivation issues and add some new scenes that will add depth.

Wish me luck!
