Congratulations! You finished a draft! This is something to be very proud, excited, anxious, elated, thrilled, and terrified about. By finishing this draft you have single handedly pushed yourself above the ranks of those who could not finish a draft. Take a deep breath. Pat your back. Or have someone pat it for you. There are far less of us who finish. Trust me. (Go check out the stats. I’ll wait.)
So. Now what? Where do you go from here?
Let’s face it first drafts are notoriously awful. Everyone writes bad first drafts. Even Paul Haggis and Diablo Cody (although I’ve never actually read a first draft of either of theirs, but I imagine they’re just like the rest of us.)
Here’s the good news: What you finished (and yay you finished it!) is by far the worst draft you will ever write. Why is this good news? Because you’re a professional writer and your script will only get better.
