Outcome....

So the final result has come to this - "Indiana.....let it go."

I'm shelving Indom for the time being. The damn thing is just so problematic that it's hindering all the other projects I want to get going on. Not to mention, some people pointed out a couple great points:

1) It's not my grand master peice as I think it to be. It's a personal treasure to me, but a "bleh" to everyone else. It's "my" story, so to speak. So that's why I'm so attached to it.
2) It has not much different from any other film of it's genre. There's nothing special about it. I need to find something special.
3) I'll grow more as a writer and make it something valuable after I hone in my craft from working on other projects.

And all that was staring me in my face, I just wasn't looking at it. It took a bunch of people to grab my head and twist it forward.

Ok ok, so metaphors aside, I'm working on "The Road Goes Both Ways" right now and although it's only 7 pages in, I'm not bored with any of the scenes. Which, I think, is a good sign. I'm doing the whole "drop the audience 1/2 way into the story" thing and we'll see if that works.

Just as a side question; does anyone read this blog or am I just voicing to myself. You can leave an anonymous comment if you like, I'm just curious.
