It depends on if you like to write or not. If you've never written anything in your life, it will be very difficult! Even if you wrote books all the time it would still be very hard and take a great deal of time!

Another Answer

Writing a screenplay -- 120 pages for a full-length feature film -- is an iterative process. Once you write it the first time, you'll re-write it again and again, until somebody buys it.

Your first challenge is to find or develop a new, imaginative and interesting story that you can tell in three acts on film -- that hasn't already been told on film.
