2. The most important thing with any rewrite is distance - to have "fresh eyes" on the screenplay so that you can see the flaws. The *best* way to do this is to alternate drafts. Write Script A, then write Script B, *then* rewrite script A.

3) After you rewrite Script A, Write script C, then rewrite Script B. Keep this going. You not only get "fresh eyes" on every screenplay, you end up writing a lot of screenplays! Yes, you will do additional drafts on each script: and you can squeeze those in anywhere.
