So, I posted a couple weeks ago about how I'm going to finish 10 screenplays in 4 months. Well, guess what? Just finished the first one a few minutes ago. All I gotta do is figure out a title for it, but that shouldn't be too hard. Now it's on to the next one!!!

10 scripts in four months? You are damn supernatural. What genres? Have you thought about the rewriting process? Not doubting you... but saying that you are damn good.

Ya sure you bet - I remain a bit skeptical.

Maló Polite Xavier In terms of genres, there will be 3 spy thrillers, an alternate superhero script, a prequel to a fantasy script I've already finished, a sports script, a prison script, a war film based on a video game, another thriller, and a zombie film. Plus two shorts that are already half-done.

Sheesh, that's a lot of writing in a short amount of time. 10 scripts = 1000 pages divided by 120 days = 8 1/2 pages a day/7 days a week. I respect your passion but what's the point you're trying to prove, and to whom? Quality over quantity.

Doug Nelson I'm only finishing the first draft for them all. Although I'm sure if I quit my regular job I MIGHT come close to finishing 10 final draft scripts in 4 months, for this I'm just doing 10 first drafts. That way, if my Nicholl entry gains any traction, I'll be able to show that I have a lot more to offer than just one measly screenplay.
Musaka Kalepa Thank you so much!

@Dan MaxXx I did the math a little differently. I got the first script done in roughly 2 weeks. So, I figured:
9 Scripts (S)
2 Weeks Per (Wp)
9S x 2Wp = 18 Weeks or 4 months 2 weeks.
It also helps that every one of the scripts on my list is, at minimum, started to some capacity. Some are only a few pages, others I'm 30-40 pages deep on.
It's not that I'm trying to prove anything. I just want to make sure that I have as many scripts done as possible in the event that the one I entered into the Nicholl actually makes some waves. At minimum, if I get them all done then I'll have 14 finished scripts, with 4 of them being completely final drafted.

You're welcome, Tony. A spy thriller sounds interesting. James Bond or Mission: Impossible?

Thanks Wally. Funnily enough, it's actually a James Bond prequel.

Truthfully Dan, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
And Maurice, something like that. =)
