script frenzy

[miriam_e]

Yep, that spin-off from the NaNoWriMo madness, Script Frenzy, starts in two weeks. The challenge is 100 pages in 30 days. That's just 3.3 pages per day; a much more leisurely pace than NaNoWriMo, though probably still hard to reach. Scripts are a whole other kind of writing. Re-reading aloud is pretty-much required, and conveying as much as possible with minimum words is very important. It is almost impossible to tell what is going through another's mind without voice-over (which is a bit like cheating) so the writer is forced to show rather than tell -- a useful discipline.

Will I participate? Am I an idiot with masochistic tendencies? I guess we'll find out soon...
