Script Frenzy
Remember NaNoWriMo? That’s right, the thirty days of writing insanity where I attempted (and succeeded to interesting results) to write a 50,000 word novel within one month. Yep, that’s the one. Well, from the makers of, now we have Script Frenzy, which has sucked me in good and proper.
The object of Script Frenzy is pretty self-explanatory. Write a screenplay (or stage play) within the thirty days of June. The word count goal is a much more managable 20,000 words. That’s an average of 667 words a day folks! And since this is a “Frenzy” we don’t have to worry about pesky things like plot or outlines. Just write. Even if there is an unending dialogue scene that should really be trimmed down to about two lines in any serious movie, verbosity is accepted.
So, what’s mine about? Well, since the whole point is to write something new, it would be a cheat to use my old standby Samuel Jinx. Instead, I got to thinking. For years, I’ve been talking about writing Backspin into a feature. Well, here is the perfect opportunity. How is it going? Interesting. I am certainly appreciating the freedom a feature length film would bring that the short did not. I’m up to par on my word count at the moment, so we’ll see how it turns out. I definitely think I’ll hit that goal.
Here’s to another month of insane writing!
