There have been exceptions to this, but generally when I am able to work quickly and efficiently, I get the best creative results out of myself. One thing that I’ve noticed over the years, is the scripts I’ve written in the least amount of time are often my strongest. No two writers are going to have the same process, and I’m a firm believer that the only way to know what’s best for you is to try as many approaches as possible and see what sticks. In some cases, my experiments have succeeded and in other cases they have failed, but they all helped me understand how I can get the best work out of myself. I’m a big believer in experimenting with new techniques while writing… Sometimes I’ll front load the process, and will spend months working out the idea, generating pages and pages of notes, and doing countless hours of research before actually sitting down to write the script. Other times, I might start writing before the idea is even fully formed, and will type out individual scenes as they come to me, only later stringing them together. I’ve written quite a few features over the years, on average taking anywhere from 3 – 6 months to complete, which I believe is par for the course… But this time around I wanted to experiment with an extremely aggressive writing schedule, if nothing else to see how it would affect the creative process as a whole. Last week I did something I’ve never done before – completed a full feature length screenplay in exactly 5 days.
