I'm going to change the game plan. Hopefully it'll benefit me.
The BlueCat Screenplay Competition has and early deadline of December 1st. And if you submit by then you'll receive analysis of your script by January 5th. The Nicholl Fellowship submission time is from January 1st through May 1st of every year.
Which means... I can finish up the re-write and get my submission into BlueCat early to get some excellent feedback. (I received great feedback on a script I submitted for the last competition.) I then can use that early feedback, as needed, on yet another re-write as I wait for feedback from members of the triggerstreet community when I submit the script for peer review. And then, hopefully, I'll have another re-written script that is getting close to being a well rounded script ready for the Nicholl Fellowship.
All of this hopefully propelling me forward to getting the script completed and ready to be filmed by fall of '09 or spring of '10.
I'm feeling quite energized knowing I have some actual deadlines in front of me... taunting me... daring me not to do it.
I will succeed!

I have always found deadlines to be both motivating and stifling. In your case, you have multiple deadlines (a timetable?) which seems like the way to go. You are an organized writer; I wish I had your dedication.
if you ever want to exchange scripts for a pleasure read let me know... not for critique or anything as I am sure we have both rec'd notes and moved on from those drafts, but just for something to do
