Script Frenzy!
For those of you who were interested in NaNoWriMo but didn't participate in it for whatever reason, here's a sister program to NaNo -- Script Frenzy!
Basically, for Script Frenzy, you write a 100-page script in 30 days. This may seem like a daunting task, but compared to writing a 50,000 word novel in a month, it's a piece of cake. Plus, script formatting takes up lots of space, so you won't even have to write that much!
Screnzy started about five days ago, but it's not too late to join in on the fun! You can easily catch up very quickly. Plus, did I mention that your NaNo log-in also works with Screnzy?
So what are you waiting for? Log on and start writing your script today!
