Ever since I laid eyes on the creepy painting we call “The Boy” at Emma’s cottage, I’ve been trying to work it into a short. Of course, we already did a whole Halloween sketch show revolving around “The Boy” but I still wanted more!
And KEEPSAKE got off to a great start. I finally figured out how to use “The Boy”, but then a thought popped into my head. This is basically STUCK with less violence. Once that crept into my head, I got really bummed on this draft and really didn’t want to see it through to the end. I would, eventually, get around to finishing this first draft but it’s a real momentum killer for me to realize that I’m repeating myself.
Here’s what I’m thinking:
Is it too similar to STUCK? I know I shouldn’t be so concerned with repeating myself but it really does bum me out.
