I've gotten to the point that I hate my main characters and don't think their story is interesting. I am seriously thinking about killing them off and scrapping it. I probably won't but I need to seriously think about what I can do to make my characters more likable. It's not that they're evil people; it's the opposite. They're TOO good. They have no depth.
My next project will be to infuse them with flaws...

Hello and Welcome
I'm a writer. I've never had anything published and I don't know if I ever will but I love writing. I suppose that is why in addition to writing my screenplay I have decided to write a blog about it.
I have already written the first draft of my screenplay but since I have come to hate my characters I have ripped it to shreds (metaphorically) and am starting over. The title I had originally chosen when I started writing was "What Happens in Vegas". This was before the movie with Ashton and Cameron came out and at the time I started it made sense because 'Vegas' was a key point in my story. That is no longer the case.
I haven't come up with a new title yet and am simply calling it "Screenplay 2.0". I am working towards a goal of having the screenplay sent to production studios by the end of the year. Of course this won't happen if I don't get to work on it so...
Wish me luck and I'll talk to you later.
