All told, to write a 46 pages script, I took about 45 days. I edited as I went, so redrafting is not something I plan on doing now, simply more notes and trying to organise everything I need: locations, props, equipment, crew, and cast. People have already put their hands up for crew, but right now I'm really concerned about getting a cast together.
I have 6 major roles, 3 male, 3 female. I'm waiting for the guys I asked to do the male roles, for them to read the script, for the female roles, it's a lot harder because I don't know that many girls that would be up for starring in a silly movie on video just made by this one guy. It just shows that all the ladies I know have common sense, which is what I don't need right now, because common sense dictates that this won't get off the ground.
Locations will be tricky, because I don't places in mind for some of the scenes yet, it'll just be a matter of asking around and hopefully the places I need won't take a lot of travel time for the cast and crew.
As for props, at least I have that covered, everything I don't already have is readily and relatively cheaply available...
Equipment, well, I have some, and some may be provided, I at least have a couple of friends on board for sound design and score, which is important to me, for it to not sound like everything has been run through a handy-cam mic.
So onward and upward with organising, at least I need to write exactly what I need on paper, list it out so that it's readable, and I can check it off when I come by each item...
