“If you don’t know what to write, talk to your subconscious, your story, or your God and ask, ‘What are you trying to tell me?’ Ask that question and wait. There will be an answer.”
–Kurt Brown

Today's quote goes with the questions I read on this webpage yesterday:
@ Scott: I have my ending. I have my beginning on NUMEROUS scripts. THat pesky second act is what chokes me. I even have the theme and everything. I just get stuck on an idea for so long and then I decide to move on to the next project.
I've read all the books. Syd Field. Lajos Egri. How to Write your MOvie in 21 days. Everything.
Seriously, there are 4 features ideas that I have, characters and all and I have nothing to show for it. A post talking about this would be lovely.

What if you have a plethora of ideas, but remain unable to write the second act for any of them? that's my problem and it's frustrating
Eve, if you'd like, we could take up that discussion in a post. I have some thoughts, I'm sure others do as well.
First question, have you worked out your story all the way through to the end?
That sounds like a good topic, Scott…please continue.
