#WritersCoffeeClub 3/23. What's the most you've worked on a WIP before deciding to scrap it? What happened?
I’d worked on Bushido (my screenplay) for about 14 months and at least eight drafts, which is easily the longest I’ve spent on a single piece. It remains on my hard drive, gathering dust, after a combination of my RSD and some feedback I received got the better of me. I haven’t touched it since but it’s the most “finished” thing I’ve ever written. 😔
