I've been writing most of my life now & some of my jobs have been lost or dropped. I am working on a feature project & it seems like it's falling apart. How do you turn nothing into something?

Did you lose a file and are trying to re-write it from memory? Or writing a script you don't feel is working...not clear on the issue here.
I'm with Andy, please clarify?
Your writing It's always something, Set a deadline for just mediating on what your writing. Don't write, just go into thought about it, sometimes it takes time, but aren't all good scripts, nothing but time?
I think I understand. You started with a great idea and somewhere along the way during the writing, it's kind of petered out to something uninspired. It's not that uncommon, nor does it mean the origin premise wasn't good. I write novels as well and this happens all the time - which is why I outline to make sure my premise has legs to get to the end. What I recommend is to set the script aside and start working something else. Put it in a file for later. I have an "ideas" folder for my unfinished stories and ideas for future work. Sometimes it takes the melding of two good ideas to make a great story. And that might happen here. Or, in time, after rereading it later, you might be able to rescue your idea and finish. Good luck.
Still no clarification....
