Wow, I have a whole new respect for scriptwriters:
Thanks to Dr.King I got to watch "Citizen Kane" with a few other students last night.  I loved it and it was really fun to watch it through a writing perspective.
I also finished the draft for my final script just a few minutes ago and it was tough.
Simply refining the story itself was a challenge.  Then the characters had to be created, and no matter what people say, it is difficult to write believable characters on a page.  On top of that, I added the challenge of trying to make the script into a comedy. I doubt it's funny.  Oh bother...
But that's what a draft is for right?  I've also gained a new appreciation for drafting.  Having multiple drafts allows you refine the details later.  After all, even great films like "Citizen Kane" have to go through drafts. 
Now I just want to rewrite my story....but maybe after I take a break...
