Well after saying I would go back to Elemental a few weeks ago I finally did it. Tonight I had the inspiration to update the characters, worlds, synopsis and re-write 5 pages of the script. I found the Theme Song for it this week and it just fit with everything I wanted the story to be. I struggled with how I wanted to start the book and actually had two very different scripts partially written. I decided to go with what I had originally wrote but significantly revamp it.
BTW - It was great to look back at what I wrote a year ago and see what my writing was like. Man a difference a year makes!
You can probably guess by the title of the pitch that it is about people with powers related to the elements (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, etc) and their offshoots. But trust me this isn't Captain Planet v2.0, it's not about going green and saving the planet. I wanted to come up with a pitch where the powers that Elementals possess were somehow interconnected with the planet and this seemed like a good way to go. I also stripped the entire corporation part out of the pitch as it wasn't necessary to the story as a whole.
At its core, its about a guy whose past catches up with him in the worst possible way when he has finally put everything behind him and started anew, but this time the risks to himself and those around him are greater then before and he can't runaway, he has to stay and fight.

And what a difference a year makes! Having just read it yesterday, then the new improved version right now, I'm way impressed with the changes you made. The page to page navigation is a bit...
