Don't know if this is the final version of your script John but if you are going to do another pass there's another rule to bear in mind as well - 2nd draft = 1draft - 10%. Good luck and thanks for these video diaries! Yep – its the old writer’s adage – kill your darlings.

If anything it's on the shorter side. You frequently hear of scripts by very experienced writers taking years to complete. I don’t really think 6 months is a long time at all.
