Finally Done Except For Apendices

I just this morning completed the story of my screenplay. Erm... that is, I have finally completed the story that will be a screenplay. Well, it was a story that I wrote based on another story that someone else wrote. Then I turned it into a screenplay. Then I wrote the backstory, then I adapted my backstory into a screenplay. Then I rewrote the original screenplay into a story (which is what I just finished doing) and I will now turn this rewrite of the original screenplay into a new screenplay! And you wonder why it has taken me 4 years to write this! Well, I am now on the fast track to "complete screenplay under my belt" land. And hopefully soon after that I will be on a fast plane to "sold screenplay" country. And then maybe oneday there will be people actually interested in reading my blog.

My only fear is that when I am finally done with this, will I miss writing it? Will I think that there is something that I should have said? Nah, if someone buys it, I will be for certain that it is the way that it is supposed to be. But if no one does, I will just.... You know what? I need to just concentrate on getting it complete and shopped. I fear nothing.

The appendices can wait until I get to those moments in the script to worry about, I think. I don't even know if appendices is really what they are supposed to be called. It's just stuff that I thought about later that I needed to add and I was going to write them later and add them to the final script as I am writing it. Whatever. They'll come when they come.
