The Screenwriter as a Psycho

Here’s the situation: You get a good idea for an screenplay, did your homework making a good “skeleton” and start to write.
Great, the ship has sail!
The writing goes very well. On the first part you made all the settings – establishing the plot, characters, adversaries, etc – and looks reeeaaaally nice.
Then you have to go to the second part, shoot a cannonball directly into the ship’s flotation line: Turn the situation into an interesting mess; kill some characters, etc… in brief, to make their life a ruin.
You must do all that to get a good setup for the third critical part: show the skills of the characters to fix the situation, survive or not and have a most interesting resolution of the story with twist and all the goodies for the audience.
Now, the problem: You have fallen in love with some of the characters whose life you must ruin, and in some cases kill.
Writing sometimes is a craft where you need to bring up you dark side, is sometimes a bloody craft.
Well, let’s work on that second part.
