Come Join in the Frenzy

Tomorrow begins the second annual ScriptFrenzy. This is related to November’s National Novel Writing Month, by the Office of Letters and Light, but for scripty things rather than novels.

I wrote my very first screenplay during last year’s Frenzy, and it was a blast. I learned so much about my writing style, about constructing dialogue, about ways to organize and visualize a story.

I’ve drafted three novels as well, but my first ScriptFrenzy is easily my favorite piece of writing.

If you have any sort of writing inclination whatsoever, you should check it out. Even if you don’t have any writing inclination, go check it out. Recommend that your friends and siblings check it out. Ileana, tell Patrick to check it out. ;) Make a donation while you’re there to support their young writer’s program, which provides curriculum and instruction ideas to put writing into the classroom for students of all ages.

This year, they’ve opened up the possibilities to include comic book scripts, radioplays, television scripts, and shorts. The goal is to write 100 formatted script pages during the month of April. That’s just 3.3 pages per day.

You could do that.

Seriously.

Give it a try. I’m “eglentyne” over there too if you want to add me to your writing buddies.

I think I'm going to try it myself too. It's probably crazy but why not, right? :) No, wait, it is crazy.

Break a keyboard!

Good luck, y'all, and happy writing. I'm too busy grading to write myself (or at least, my eyes and fingers doth protest), but wishing you all good ideas and wordage.

Enjoy!
