I only do a treatment if a producer asks for one.:D
Granted my rewrite process can be a little painful, but working with a partner keeps focus tight. I never though I'd be the type to write with someone, but now I find the counter-point to be invaluable.
Here's another question - how long does it take to finish a first draft? I've written over 20 feature-lentgh scripts (the first 5 were terrible) most on spec, some for hire. My partner and I usually take 1 month to finish a first draft, but the film we have going into production this month wes written in 10 days...
but we've since done 9 rewrites as per producer/director/actor notes - kind of sick of writing this one:o
