  • What's the most you have written in one go?

    For me it's 10 pages and that just because there was a deadline.

      I use to be able to write that much, years ago when I didn't realize how much I suck.
      Now I write far less and am fully aware of how much I suck all the way through.

        I did an all day marathon for my last spec, about 60 pages in 15 or 16 hours. Then I have to spend the next day rereading and editing to make sure it wasn't a total trainwreck. Which, you know, parts of it invariably are, but that's fine. Part of the process.

          I think I did 15 pages in 15 hours once.

              30-40 pages in about 12 hours, straight. That passion however has since been slaughtered by the business side of the industry that I wish I didn't have to deal with. Just need to find my mojo again

                I've ground my way through about 25 pages of a treatment in one marathon session - but I slow down radically when it comes to an actual script. (Hence my forum name).

                  I wrote 70 pages in about three hours. Unique, high concept premises can do that to a writer.

                    I think 30 in a page would be the cap for me...

                      My personal high score was 45 pages over the course of an 8-hour writing day. And boy were those pages a steaming pile of crap.

                        Around 50 pages over the course of one very long day -- that was day two of a "write a screenplay in two days" marathon.

                        A screenplay that I actually sold, by the way. Didn't turn out very well, unfortunately, but most of what's wrong with it was stuff that wasn't mine.

                          99 pages in one day. Never again.

                            I've actually found that I can write over ten pages in one day when I'm in the third act of a script.
                            It's like, "All I have to do is this." It even feels good as oppose to the exhaustion I regularly feel when writing a lot.

                              17 pages in four hours, and not nearly as bad as I'd expected thanks to a good treatment.
