So... Script Frenzy?

Script Frenzy is a screenplay writing challenge. The idea is to write a one hundred page screenplay (or stage play or radio play or comic script) in thirty days. This year Script Frenzy happens in April, which it did not last year, and therefore took me by surprise. Up until an hour ago, I was uncertain whether I would participate.

Well, I’m in. I did nothing on April 1, so I only have twenty-nine days. Better make a rough schedule.…

Tue 1 April: Note with surprise that it’s time for Script Frenzy, and be indecisive. Done.

Wed 2 April: Decide to participate in Script Frenzy. Make a schedule (in progress). Browse through some screenwriting documentation. Make miscellaneous notes on story. Write a one sentence story summary. Write one page of screenplay, just to get the ball rolling and refresh familiarity with Celtx screenwriting software.

Thu 3 April: More-or-less finalize story. Write one page story summary. Possibly make an actual outline. Try to write three pages of script
