  1. oddly, I find that working on more than one script at a time works for me. If I hit a block or get a bit bored of one project, I shuttle over to the other one (it helps if they contrast as much as possible – ie realist drama and vampire movie). The greatest burst of productivity I ever had was when I wrote 3 1st draft screenplays in 31 days using this method – 1 drama, 1 horror and 1 action movie.

    Having daily page targets is good too. You can vary them according to how busy the rest of your day is but you must (at least) hit the projected page count.

    Hope this is useful!
