¡¡Script Frenzy 2010!!

For those who either read or have the capability to scroll down my journal page, I wrote about NaNoWriMo back in November. ScriptFrenzy is similar, only different. Here's a quick overview from the site:

Who: You and everyone you know. No experience required.

What: 100 pages of original scripted material in 30 days. (Screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, and graphic novels are all welcome.)

When: April 1 - 30. Every year. Mark your calendars.

Where: Online and in person (if you want!). Hang out in the forums, join your fellow participants at write-ins, and make friends by adding writing buddies online.

Why: Because you have a story to tell. Because you want a creative challenge. Because you’ll be disappointed if you missed out on the adventure. Because you need to make time for you.

How: Sign up. Tell everyone that you are in the Frenzy. Clear your calendar. (US participants: Get your taxes done now!) Start some wrist exercises. Have fun!

The 5 Basic Rules of Script Frenzy

1) To be crowned an official Script Frenzy winner, you must write a script (or multiple scripts) of at least 100 total pages and verify this tally on ScriptFrenzy.org.
2) You may write individually or with a partner. Writing teams will have a 100-page total goal for their co-written script or scripts.
3) Script writing may begin no earlier than 12:00:01 AM on April 1 and must cease no later than 11:59:59 PM on April 30, local time.
4) You may write screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, comic book and graphic novel scripts, adaptations of novels, or any other type of script your heart desires.
5) You must, at some point, have ridiculous amounts of fun.

That's right, November isn't the only month for writers! This April, over 20,000 people will gather together for a whole month of words, words, words! All will write, many will question their sanity, and some will win. And even if you lose, you still get some pretty awesome bragging rights. I would know. :)

If you're interested or if you're rolling your eyes and wondering why you bothered to read this, check out ScriptFrenzy.org instead. If you know a kid or rather write with some, check out ywp.scriptfrenzy.org too!

I hope to see you this April! Best of luck baiting and bagging your muses!
