I need to get a good head shot (or two) for my upstart acting career. I have almost no Acting experience to put on the back of my headshot print (yet), [other than doing a radio show and stand up comedy] so I'm thinking of skipping the usual large Head Shot piece and starting off with a smaller...

For those of you who've completed screenplays, I'd love to hear how long it usually takes you (weeks, months, years, etc.) - and if possible, how many hours per day you end up writing on average (when you're in writing mode.) Also, when you finish the first draft - and you're ready to do a...
