Script Frenzy is Here! Let the Madness Begin!

Script Frenzy starts today. 30 days. 100 pages.

I’m going to set a goal of 3 pages per day, every day (a few more on the weekends just to make up for the 10 pages). I’m going to use the same approach I used during National Novel Writing Month: plow the row, don’t look back.

If anyone is interested, there are useful resources at their site, including a nice, brief section on how to format a screenplay. In addition to instructions about screenplay formatting, they also include templates for writers using MS Office or OpenOffice.

If you’re going to try it … no pressure … please feel free to post your progress here and let us know how you are doing. But make sure you also register with Script Frenzy so you can get all of the encouragement from other frenzied writers.

I’ll post my progress weekly.
