Nearly completed Feature film!

I hated writing at school (never finished school for that fact), most I had ever written was 3 pages worth of stuff.

today I am 60 pages through and have written around 11,000 words, the more im writing the more im enjoying the story but worrying how I am going to get to the end.

nonetheless I have done it all without Alcohol (my secret editing recipe) and with a nagging girlfriend on my back and 2 kids climbing infront of my screen, spilling my drink on my HDD jumping on my head etc etc

anyway, by next weekend I shall have written my first draft hopefully.

I wanted to know how many pages a day do you usually write at your best effort? so far I have reached 14 without disturbances and around 5-6 pages at home.
 
It sounds like you were being properly distracted while writing. When writing a script you should concentrate fully to avoid to continuous read over and edit. It depends on my mood. I can write an entire script within one day but I prefer to spread it out. When you wake up and read it again, most times you gain new ideas.

you can write a feature in a day? what drugs?
 
A day has 24 hours, it is possible. I wouldn't recommend it because your brain needs time to think and be creative. If you already have everything planned on paper then you can.
