Script got turned in 3pm my time (30 minutes ago, since LJ seems to be playing with time stamps). It's pretty solid, amusing in parts, kickass in other parts, and totally not brilliant

Sadly, no. It's the tension of waiting for notes for the rewrite, preping for a 4-day fantasy role-playing game with out-of-town friends of a friend, and trying to rest enough to keep the exhaustion at bay.
But yeah, feels great to not have the script haunting me, nagging me.
Hurrah and congrats! I think anything that's solid, amusing and kickass is an accomplishment, brilliant or not. I've always liked Salieri (heck, I'm a Salieri myself). So huzzah for you and your script!
Thanks! As one darling friend pointed out in e-mail, better Salieri than Bulwar-Lytton. :-) And like you, I like Salieri's music.
After seeing the stage play, I went out and bought Salieri's compositions. After seeing the movie, I went out and bought Mozart's. It was fascinating the difference in tone despite the nearly identical script.
Ok, my outlook today is likely colored by the headache that won't go away, so please pardon me if this seems cranky.
As one who feels pretty tired right now, I must ask about this FRP you're planning to attend. Isn't this supposed to be fun? The thought of getting up early several mornings in a row, even for socializing and having fun, would rather wreck the fun for me. If you know in advance that this will leave you sick and exhausted, why do it? Can't you drop in for pizza with the friends in the evening?
Or is this business-related "fun"?
At any rate, congratulations on finishing the script, and please let us know if we'll be able to see the end results! Yay for Kath!

An excellent question that has occasioned much thought.
Ultimately it comes down to having given my word a year ago when this was first planned. Two of the participants are flying in from other corners of the country to see their old friend, who's my friend now too, and game. (FRP as in Fantasy Role Playing aka collaborative storytelling with maps and minatures.) Much planning has gone into this, and while I could bug out if I were in the hospital or dead, it's now a matter of honor.
Secondarily it's not wanting to disappoint my friend whom I like and respect greatly (he's my mother's age).
There will be sections I enjoy enormously. Plus I'll have two guys to flirt with who flirt back moderately well. But sometimes I'll be so wiped I'll want to cry.
If it were a casual thing, I'd bug off from exhaustion. But it's been in the planning for a year, involves plane tickets, and I gave my word. I don't just judge others as an INTJ, I judge myself. *wry grin*
