20 pages into my screenplay, I have started to lose hope...

Honestly, I think I just needed a new perspective and realize that I am not alone with this problem and neither will I ever be. And all of you guys really helped me with that. I guess it comes down to writing consistently, even if the script feels extremely mediocre. This situation that I was stuck in was accentuated further with the mental deterioration that came with this whole coronavirus and isolation situation, not to mention some personal conflicts of my own.

I would just take a break tomorrow and get my mind straight. daydream about the story, characters and try to create a somewhat acceptable single page outline for my story, keeping my expectations aside. I was planning to delete the post or rid my name off of it after some comments. But since it feels that this post kind of blew up and I found many people struggling with the EXACT same problem that I was struggling with, I will make sure this post exists so that any other budding writer going through the same dilemma, might find some solution here. Thank you everyone!
