Scripty-ness
It’s weird… I’ve been waiting 15 years to have a finished screenplay to submit to the Nicholl Fellowship. I’ve mentioned that (ad nauseum, I’m sure) in previous posts, but now that it’s done and I want to submit it?
Well, the Nicholl peeps don’t have their application available yet.
I should be patient – I’m still waiting for some feedback from a few people who are kind enough to critique it for me. I should proof-read it a few more times, perhaps edit a few things – make sure the fat is cut and the formatting is spot on. But I’m chomping at the bit and I REALLY want to submit it. Now.
You’d think with a wait as long as mine, a week or a month would be just a drop in the bucket, but I’m finding myself growing more and more anxious as May 1st looms just ahead and there’s still that damnable “The 2009 application will be available soon. Please check back here for more information.” message on their site.
I hate lessons in character building.

Timing is everything, and as you noted it is a good time to get those critiques and changes done, Just pretend you already sent in the application, and start on the tweaking, the way you know you will later, and at least you will be able to do so at a much more relaxed pace.
