Ever have one of those project you're working on that you just don't feel like getting to and do everything you can to avoid it? That's been my approach the last week or so to a scene in the script I'm currently working on. The problem for the most part is the structure of the scene in the play I'm adapting it from. It was structured around a major revelation at the end of the scene. However, the revelation doesn't make sense in this scene being told by the main character to two strangers, when it's something he should've discussed in private with his wife. That's my and my writing partner's take on it anyway and decided to move that revelation to a different scene later on in the film. Yet there are important secondary characters in the scene and it needs to be there. Pretty much had to scrap the entire scene and start over from scratch. To show how much of an uphill trudge it was, when I checked to see how many pages of the scene I had written, which felt like more than ten, turned out to be 3.

Finished the scene today, though, and can now move on with it. Yay! No more procrastinating. Which means I have to get my scrawny but off of here and go work on the next scene. Later.
