Curse of the script that never dies

Alright, so who else has that one project that's basically a zombie at this point? It's dead but just won't lie down. I'm like 3 rewrites in and each time I swear it's gonna be the last... but nah, here I am, opening that script doc again. Tell me your tales of development purgatory, ppl!

My pet project is this action-adventure script. I'd probably have better luck writing my own obituary at this point. It's been 'almost done' for 3 years. Maybe I'll finish it or maybe it'll be my legacy lol.

I've got a drama script and guess what, each character has had like four different backstories. Feels like they're leading me, not the other way around. It's this never-ending cycle of 'ah ha!' moments followed by 'what was I thinking?' sessions.

Not a writer, but a director. That script you can't let go of? It haunts me too, I got one. Think of it as wine. It'll mature... or turn to vinegar. But yeah just remember, Tarantino wrote 'Inglorious Basterds' over a decade before it got made. Keep the faith!

I'm on rewrite number seven for a rom-com that started out as a buddy cop film. Can you believe it? Every time industry trends change, so does my script. It's a chameleon in a pile of scripts at this point. At this rate, I'll accidentally invent a new genre...

There's this horror screenplay I've been poking at since ages. Gets resurrected every Halloween. Thought about making it a comedy horror cuz honestly, it's kinda laughable now how often I've changed the villain.

I’ve got this fantasy trilogy, and guess what? Still stuck on book one after 6 years. It's turned into a full universe with languages I've half-created. Might as well just publish the dictionary for this unreal world at this point lol.

Ugh, I feel you. Mine's a sci-fi epic I started in college. Rewritten it four times. Every time I think it's good, I read it after a month and it's like a brand new pile of inconsistencies and plot holes. It's like the plot is evolving on its own or something. Maybe one day it'll rewrite itself into something decent, right?
