Finishing projects

I finished the first draft of my screenplay over the weekend, something that you would think would make me positively elated. I even gave it to my friend, the one who is my partner in this project and will be handling the producing side of things once it gets going. Anyway, you would think that all this would make me feel great, but somehow I just feel weird about it. While you're working on a project it's still under your control. You can make changes, you can work on it, you can not. You can have a great day with it, a bad day with it, it's like a companion. And then when you finish it, even a draft, it's like it's gone. And there's nothing you can do. You just have to wait while other people read it and judge it. Man, no wonder it's so hard to finish things - there's this slight feeling of satisfaction when you do, but if you're someone without an agent, without serious prospects for the project it just feels like it's being release into the ether....
