Just finished my 2nd script....Thriller.. yeahh

Originally, had a different climax in mind but then... decided to have a wicked ending instead.

So how many times you thought of a climax but by the time when you were about to complete your work, decided to change the ending?

Evelyn Von Warnitz

That's great,!Congratulations Suprio!

Maurice Vaughan

Congratulations on finishing your second draft, Suprio Santra! I've outlined climaxes, then changed them many times. I've done the same thing for epilogues and ending scenes. Sometimes the changes are better than the originals.

Suprio Santra

Thanks Evelyn. :)

Jack Hilkewich

Congratulations, Suprio. I did a large edit to the very last scene of my script after keeping it the same for a long time. It was hard to let go of the original ending.

Suprio Santra

Thats true Maurice. When I changed the ending, it felt like the story changed to something wayyyyyyy better and added a lot of "woah" factor to the original story. And I only came up with this new ending just 2 days back. :)

Suprio Santra

Exactly Jack. It was hard to let go for me initially, mainly because of my ego with the original storyline and I had to let it go for the audience factor, thinking that they could enjoy the "woah wtf was that" factor with the new ending :)

Maurice Vaughan

Sometimes you just have to let the story lead, Suprio. :) It's also great to write different endings. That way you can pick one and save the other endings to maybe use in other scripts.

Suprio Santra

That's true Maurice :) and being honest here, I literally had no other endings planned untill 2 days back but grateful that this new ending showed up in my mind and now my script looks killer ;)

Sam Sokolow

Congratulations, Suprio! And yes - sometimes the script and characters lead you to a different ending than you started with and that can be magical.
