Hey all
So I signed a contract before the holidays and took it real slow for a cool 4 weeks only to realize I’m a little under half way through the agreed-upon timeframe. Cue record scratch. I have 5 weeks to present a draft and I’ve written 12 pages (they’re real good!)
I have every single beat worked out, down to page count (thank you Paul Schrader) but I’m still a little worried about knocking out 120 pages in a month.
1) is that humanly possible?
2) does adderall affect the quality of writing?
The second point is interesting because a friend found that he’d be writing 10-15 pages a day on adderall but that only 1-2 were any good. He said the drug made him jump around narratively and basically he ended up with a mess of a script. He’s not a big outliner however so I assume he was plotting as he wrote which might have been the issue.
I on the other hand figured out every scene so I am wondering if I’ll have a better time of it.
Thoughts?
