Finishing a work

Go To

Does anyone get a "what now?" kind of feeling after finishing writing something? I finally finished a screenplay I've been working on (on and off) for the last year or so, and its the first thing I've actually finished. Does anyone else just not know where to go when they're done writing?

First of all, make a party to celebrate that you've actually finished something! Make sure to have plenty of cookies and pizza.

Then, if you haven't done so ten times already, edit the hell out of your work screenplay.

After that I suppose you post the thing on some site (like, here) so that people can admire it and...

go write the next one, I suppose. You must have a dozen other ideas waiting. But keep in mind, you have actually written the 100% of a whole screenplay, and that alone is very important and awesome.

Yeah I suppose you're right. Don't get me wrong, I'm mostly feeling positive, but there's just a certain kind of underlying emptiness that comes along with the good parts.

Start working on your next screenplay as soon as you are done with the current one! And congrats on actually finishing a work. You are now officially part of a very exclusive club. ^^
