Ways

I am going to completely rewrite and re-do Untrodden Ways.

Not too soon, but I'm letting ideas ferment.

I can make it better and I will. It may just be my indie masterpiece.

The idea of the journey through the places between is golden, and I like the feel I get from my original story, but it needs polishing. I need to know the main character better. I need to develop her background and personality more and especially her reasons for self destruction.

My original worked very well for the stage and screen, even with its confusing and muddled bits, but as a straight film it needs work, or at least a reshoot.

The thing is, is that the film part was completely retooled from the original script. There are whole chunks missing or improvised for lack of actors or having to deal with one of my mains basically flaking out on me.

It is a miracle that it came together as well as it did. Literally, I'm either a freaking genius or God did it. And I'm not willing to chance the flames.

But as "cool" as it is, I know I can make it absolutely freaking awesome. A true cult classic.
