It does not mean that the first draft of Harry Potter was rejected 12 times before it became a blockbuster. It usually means 12 drafts of the book were rejected before the 13 set of revisions and edits found a publisher.<br /><br />The script fot the movie Amadeus went through 47 drafts before it was made into a movie that later won 8 oscars. This was a film late in Peter Schafer's career. Even as an established screenwriter he still wrote 47 drafts before he won that oscar for best adaption.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
