Writing on Deadline?

Question

I have 4 days to finish my full-length play. I'm freaked out. Any advice on how to get it done with minimal mental damage?

Answer 1

what kind of play? do you have an outline / rough plot points figured out, but are unsure about style and structure,. or are you stuck for an idea? how long is full-length anyway? what age-group is it aimed at? are you a school / college / Uni student? (ie what 'level' are you at?) / does it have to be in a strict or specific style (genre) / do you have **any** limits or set guides to work from...?

edit

I think if the bulk of it is written then you ought to cut yourself some slack! Four days is fine (depending on other commitments!) the fact that you've done this before albeit shorter, also makes me think that you're just freaking yourself out - so do some gentle breathing exercises! :)

Do you have anyone you personally know that has any writing ability or someone who's widely read, that you trust?? If "yes" get them over straight away and get them to proof read / critique what you so far have,. brain storm the bit you're not sure about  if no,. get onto one to a creative writer-type websites out there,. hit the forums,. find some like-minded people with experience who can guide you a bit better...
