I sent last year one screenplay to a couple of contests.
They did good, actually, surprisingly good for a screenplay that took me from the idea to the final draft only 3 months.
Between the top ten finalist of one good contest and still having a chance to go to semi-finals and finals of another biggie.
After that I forgot about it, letting it sleep in my hard drive.
Then, a few days ago I decided to make a printout and give it a read.
While doing it I recalled the voice of one of my art teachers in a Costa Rica University when asked "when a painting is finished?" and her answer was "when you have a good friend who smash a log on your head to stop you from keep making retouches."
The screenplay is not awful, actually, is very good.
But with just a few months of more checking, rewriting... it could be great.
So, now, while I'm working on new stuff I'm taking some time to "retouch" the screenplay.
If I only would let it sleep a few weeks before sending it to the contest...
Let's look forward... and hope to have the good friend around to knock me out when the time come.
