I love this little, workable, and imaginative way to set minimum achievable goals. I am especially an advocate for reading scripts. I have learned (or at least gleaned) more about structure, pacing, and pagination by reading scripts. My addition to the 1-2-7-14 is (W) R-W-W [if you are not writing, Read. If you are not reading, watch. If you are not watching, Write. Above all WRITE!] I call this the writers OODA loop. Cheers

[...] To supplement this, I would need to read more screenplays too. Or I guess reading in general. Turner has a reading habit of five newspapers a day, a book a week, and a script a day (if that’s too much, there is also this interesting system from one of my favourite sites on screenwriting, Go Into The Story: http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/2012/01/1-2-7-14.html).

Read Scripts, Watch Movies, Write Pages: the Scott Myers 1,2,7,14 Formula - NoFilmSchool at 2012-06-16 22:46:41:

[...] The first three are somewhat self-explanatory. Scott recommends reading any screenplays, from all different genres — even genres or films you might not like. You should also watch at least 2 movies per week (though I’d recommend more), and study the way the stories are put together, from the inciting incident all the way through the major plot points and the climax. Figure out where these events happen in the movie and how they work to advance the story. Write 7 pages per week for whatever story you’re working on. Lastly, and probably the most time-consuming, is to work 14 hours a week prepping a story. Here Scott explains that step, which he refers to as stacking projects: [...]

I love this and have been practicing this for the past week. Since I'm pretty new to screenwriting, the pages I write are going to be pretty bad. What does one do with the resulting pile of doody? I'm going on my own Quest with many GITS readers. We're not supposed to be paging till October 22nd! Advice on doody-control?

Scott at 2012-10-07 11:14:20:

Actually, Sabina, I think it's important to set aside what I call QVT: Quality Veg Time. Where you just let your mind zone out. Even that is part of the creative process I find. Can't tell you how many times I've had an idea spring up out of nowhere when supposedly doing nothing. I like your question and it's an important one. I'm going to ask this of the GITS community to see their reaction. Thanks!

[...] Algo parecido a esto cuenta Scott Myers en su estupendo blog Go Into the Story (otro de esos blogs que hay que leer sí o sí) cuando dice que hay que seguir la pauta de escribir una página de guión cada día, pero también que hay que ver dos películas a la semana, que leer un guión completo a la semana y que escribir diariamente dos páginas al día de material preparatorio para un guión.
