On the makingof.com website, Don Roos (“Single White Female,” “Marley and Me,”) gives good advice to aspiring scriptwriters that would apply to any kind of writing:
• Make an appointment to write
• Use a kitchen timer to make sure that you put in the time
• How to make writing progress with only one hour a day
• How to write even if you’re not sure what your story is
His method of committing to a certain period of time was not as effective for me as committing to a certain number of pages, but there’s no right or wrong, only what works for you.
