Chloe25 Junior Member	posted 04-05-2001 12:26 PM I'm just curious how long it takes you writers to crank out an sp from start to finish. IP: Logged
chicaloca Member	posted 04-05-2001 06:35 PM It took me five months to write my first screenplay and ten months to write my second. I still need to revise them. I'm currently working on revising #1 and #2 and brainstorming #3 and #4. #3 will be real lightweight...a surreal western. #4 will be heavy. I'm not looking forward to it. But it needs to be written.

cyirha Member	posted 04-06-2001 07:49 PM It takes me anywhere from three to four months. Usually the treatment takes two to three months and the actual script about a month. Then I let it sit awhile (a few weeks or so). Then I read it and begin to make needed changes. IP: Logged
