After-Nicholl Naptime

I am exhausted. Happy but exhausted. I got the revisions finished and got my screenplay in to the Nicholl Fellowship. I worked my ass off this week, but it still wasn't quite enough. It got down to the wire last night, and I decided I would have to send it in as is, time's running out. I got over to their website, and hey, guess what, they extended the deadline by one day. Apparently they took pity on the procrastinators. I wouldn't have. Glad they did.

So I got to spend more time on it today and got things more polished. Does anybody ever get one to the point where you feel like it's perfect, or is everyone like me and you just get to the point where you feel like you're probably going to start making it worse if you keep on and you better just stop now? I have stared at that thing way too much today.

Congrats to all who entered. It's a source of pride in itself. And to those who entered early - shut up.

It's never, never finished. My agent's sending one out today - she asked me yesterday for the final, latest version. I sent it. Two hours later, I sent another.
Good luck on the Nicholls!
