Fellow first-draft under-writers: what's the shortest first draft of a feature you've ever churned out? Asking on behalf of an embarrassingly short "feature" of which I just finished the initial "exploratory draft" (0th draft) lol. - ThreadSky

I am not an under-writer by any means, so when I hit Fade Out at 82 pages, I was patting myself on the back!

92 pages. After a couple of rewrites 97 pages.

82. After all the reworking/rewriting, it ended up at 93 and I was pleased.

I think I finished a feature at like 68 pages once 🫣

Now THAT'S what i'm talking about!!! Definitely more in the wheelhouse of what I just spat out lol

Were you able to get it up to a more standard length?

Yeah, it got more presentable eventually. I’ve had a couple in that 68-72 page range, and they’ve all been able to get to at least 85 pages. I tend to forget about B-plots on first drafts haha.
