Script Frenzy 2007
Who is planning on doing it? …who has any idea what it is??
from www.ScriptFrenzy.org:
Script Frenzy is an international writing event in which participants attempt the creatively daring feat of writing an original, full-length screenplay—or stage play—in a single month. Spurred by a wild deadline and buoyed by a community of countless other writers, Script Frenzy participants can’t be bothered with self-doubt—or editing. They’re too busy writing by the seat of their pants, typing out beautiful, flawed stories that no one else could have dreamt up.
As part of a donation-funded nonprofit, Script Frenzy charges no fee to participate; there are also no valuable prizes awarded or “best” scripts singled out. Every writer who completes the goal of 20,000 words is victorious and awe-inspiring and will get a Script Frenzy Winner’s Certificate and web icon proclaiming this fact. Even those who fall short of the word goal will be applauded for making a heroic attempt. Really, you have nothing to lose—except that nagging feeling that there’s a script inside you that may never get out.
The 5 Basic Rules of Script Frenzy
- 1) To be crowned an official Script Frenzy winner, you must write a script of at least 20,000 words and verify this word count on ScriptFrenzy.org.
- 2) You may write individually or in teams of two. Writer teams will have a 20,000 total word goal for their single co-written script.
- 3) Script writing may begin no earlier than 12:00:01 AM on June 1 and must cease no later than 11:59:59 PM on June 30, local time.
- 4) You may write either a screenplay or a stage play.
- 5) You must, at some point, have ridiculous amounts of fun.

I’m not sure. It sounds like fun, and I like these writing-with-a-deadline thingies, but I have absolutely no idea how to write a screan play, and don’t really feel like researching. xD
What about you, write me?

I’ve never written a play. I think it would be challenging for me because most of my characters are not ‘front’ characters–much of the story is actually in the writing rather than in the dialogue.
But, it’s summer. So, I might!
