Sorry to hear about your challenges Geoff Hall. I am so happy to hear you are still creating. Look for those moments when the cloud moves out of the way so the sun shines through. It may be brief, but I've observed that many challenges have those cherished moments.

I am retired from a career in broadcast news as a cameraman. After several rewrites and notes from other filmmkers and readers, I have a script, A drama. It is a story about adoption, lives reconnected and the courage to love. I have pushed myself to go forward, but if I am honest perfectionism is standing at the gate telling me it needs a few thousand more "tweaks". Anybody been here and if so what self talk did you use to get to the next level?

Hello Ralph Patterson, glad to meet you.What helped me get over the issue of perfectionism is... writing. :-)The more you write, the more confidence you get as a writer and you stop second guessing yourself. At the very least, take the next step forward and see what happens. That's my two cents. :-)

Hey, Ralph. I agree with Inky. Also, remember that no script is ever perfect.

@RalphPatterson I just tell that voice to be quiet and then put the project away for a while and work on something else, it helps put everything into perspective. It seems to work, for me. Perfectionism is, as Maurice says, is not for scriptwriters.
