What kind of inconsistencies are you talking about? Characters? Plot?
FEATURE:
Memwipe - Sci-Fi, Action, Thriller (114 pages) - In a world where memories can be erased by request, a Memory Erasing Specialist desperately searches for the culprit when his wife becomes a target for erasure -- with his former colleagues hot on his trail.
I'm working on my second and third acts, interchanging them when I feel stumped. I'm just writing at this point. Forget about page length. I'm trying to see if I can finish on time, inconsistencies and all.
Just Murdered by Sean Elwood (Zombie Sean) and Gabriel Moronta (Mr. Ripley) - (Dark Comedy, Horror) All is fair in love and war. A hopeless romantic gay man resorts to bloodshed to win the coveted position of Bridesmaid. 99 pages. https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-comedy/m-1624410571/
Plot! For example had to rework the whole reveal part to make it sound. After the reworking the reveal I had to go back and adjust the "what led to reveal" parts.
Does any of you have problems guessing if the readers will "get" it?
Sometimes you write in a dialogue because you're afraid the readers won't get it. But then it feels on-the-nose. Argh.

Around page 21. If I tried my hardest, I could get to about 60 by the 4th. This story just doesn't have enough drive because it feels too "by the numbers" to be enjoyable to write. However, I'm not even using the beat sheet but the main character's about to get his "first act catalyst".
Hey everyone, don't it feel good! Either having reached the finish or at least nearing it?
Feels GREAT!!! I'm going to have a few beers to that too because the guy who produced and directed Daddy's Home (which I watched today and was fantastic) is making a feature next and he asked me if I had a feature lying around. I told him about BLACKOUT and sent him the logline. He wants to read it ASAP. I told him I won't have a decent copy until the end of September.

When I got to reread mine I couldn't get it (mostly dialog) myself. Had to understand and rewrite. But I can't vouch for the rewrite. That's why I'm pulling away from the script, let it simmer to read it in couple days with new eyes.
