“Unlock the Secrets: 5 Powerful Strategies Every Screenwriter Must Know to Ignite Their Motivation!”
But if you really want to train yourself under real-world deadlines, get to a point where you can finish a script in one month—with an additional two weeks for each rewrite.
Those are the deadlines I work under for all of my 10 Lifetime contracts. It’s easier than you’d think.
- Think less about writing days and writing hours. Instead, focus on writing sessions. Sit down and write 10 pages. It doesn’t matter if it takes you an hour or multiple hours. Write 10 pages and stop.
- 10 writing sessions of 10 pages get you 100 pages. The sweet spot for script page length is 90-115 pages.
- Reread each 10-page output you do before you begin the latest and rewrite as you go.
Writing a script in a month means you can average just 10 writing sessions out of a month and come out with a solid first draft (especially if you rewrite as you go), which means if you had each writing session on a different day, it’d only take you 10 days out of a whole month to finish a script. That’s pretty good motivation if you’d ask me.
