So you've finally found a few hours in your day to actually sit down at your laptop and get some writing done, but what does that writing time actually look like? If writing is a muscle, does that mean you have to write *every single day*? And how much planning is too much planning?

From writing sprints, to procrastination playlists and why starting on page one is a nightmare, in this follow-up to our scheduling chat, we're diving into the details of our writing processes. How much we outline before writing a script, what sort of mood boards and playlists we make, and what screenwriting software are the most comfortable to use - y'know, the really exciting ins and outs of this very sexy profession.

As usual, every process is different and there isn't one way of doing things, so don't forget to send us any thoughts, feelings or questions - you're not alone!
