What I was also thinking about was how the circumstances surrounding a production can change. Maybe you've got a bigger budget (or more likely, a smaller one...) and so suddenly that location you'd been picturing for draft after draft is no longer feasible or can be beefed up to a new, more dramatic locale. It's about measuring those changing circumstances and being able to roll with them. Thanks for purchases, Straydog! And though, I'm sure you'll be happy with your DVD, just so you (and anyone else reading) know, the Indieflix.com VOD does work internationally. Amazon is US only. Thanks again for watching and reading! Send me those blog links, would love to hear your thoughts. T I think this can go beyond the killing of ones babies or darlings (eesh).

That, and to leave your story/script in a drawer for at least a week and come back to it with fresh eyes. Liked the automotive anecdote;-) Haven't seen Refrain yet *sob* I'm still awaiting the arrival of the DVD and unfortunately VOD isn't available to international customers as far as I can tell. Eagerly awaiting it though, I'll give you a full write-up on my blog once i've seen it=) Actually, i've realised today that despite how much I loved Minushi, and the regularity with which I recommend it to people, I haven't yet reviewed it on my blog either. Well. it's an excuse to watch it again and help spread the word (from the insignificant little corner of the web I call home).

So it's not that bad. Reincarnated babies.

I had to do something similar recently, but for a guitar solo in a song. I LOVED the solo, LOVED IT. God, it was my baby. But as all creative folks know, you have to be able to kill your babies. Which I did. With great regret. Here's a link to my post on the crime: http://cerebellumblues.squarespace.com/blog/2010/3/6/if-first-you-dont-succeed-revise-revise-revise.html Jeff Loved this post.
