Just throwing out a survey to gauge how you guys go about the various stages of screenplay development.
For instance, is your first draft rough and ready, raw and messy? Do you bang it out in a matter of days and then work backwards with the fine tuning? Or do you try and perfect it as you go?
As for your second draft, is it just a continuation of what you started in draft one? Do you toss away the first draft and start completely from scratch? How closely do you follow the content of the first draft?
Is it possible for your first draft to be your final draft?
I've heard so many different theories on how to go from first draft to second draft to final draft. I've got my own ideas - and I've used them to write half a dozen screenplays of my own - but I just wondered what the consensus was on here...
