Getting the story out effectively and rapidly- writer's block

 While revisiting my script, I found some ideas to include and help into edit the script to a shorter length, since 1 page equals to 1 minute. At the moment, I still have about 5 pages, meaning i should cut to at least 3 and work the rest while shooting. I know some parts that will need more polishing and shortening, such as changing to a montage scene, but i find myself with a writer's block. There are many reasons why, school work and other personal problems, as well as having thought of this particular idea for several days. But, there is no use to try and figure out the exact reason for it, like i read somewhere "you wouldn't sit down in a house on fire and wonder why it happened, you would try to get out of there". So, that is my plan of action, and since watching other creators and their own tips have helped me in the past, i will see the different techniques described in the video:                                                                                      

While the advice offered in the video seems to be more centered to writers in different areas and spots, i found many of the advice helpful. I do tend to not have much energy to do my own writing since i have other responsibilities and instead do leisure activities, at the end feeling guilty for not spending my time well. From those two described types of writer's block, creative and mechanical, i tend to have both, but more of the latter at the moment . At the moment, it seems that i do not want to revisit my story for the fear of "ruining" it or not knowing how to perfectly configurate a dialogue that is short but does not feel artificial. It will be useful to consider having my own set time for writing and avoid distractions, but it is not possible at the moment based on how my household operates, having to do it in the time that is available for everyone. I cannot exactly move to a new story, nor do i want to. Since, like being said, the first draft do not have to be perfect. In that way, i guess at this time i will "shelf" my story aside and think of other aspects of it that i can come out with, trying to give myself a break. 

I do feel disappointed for not being able to create the montages and shortened my dialogue, i was waiting to be able to show more of these edited pages and start on the next part of my process. But, as any time of process, it comes with effort and time, and similar to life, it does not go the way one wants it to go. The weekend will be used to complete editing my script, i want to be able to show a complete script with its first edit to a group of beta readers, form my family to some classmates. I do want to bring some compassion and understanding for myself, even if i have wrote a script before, i did not write it with the direct purpose of shooting it after being done, something that i am in the process of doing, and having many other external forces to be considered and achieve my mise-en-scene and tone.
