Script Frenzy? To Do, or Not to Do?
So… do you do Script Frenzy? Have you ever? Is this your first year?
I have actually never done it before, though I have participated in NaNoWriMo for six years now.
I’m in the middle of editing one of my WIP’s right now, but I figure that I should probably need a break from it, come mid-March or so. So what do you think? Have you done Script Frenzy? How did it go?
1. I am perfectly aware that script writing is vastly different than novel writing. This might be the reason for my hesitation.
2. I already have several other WIP’s that I should work on. The intrigue of the unknown is calling me though.
3. I’m scared to death that I will fail. I have literally no clue what I am doing when it comes to writing a script. Obviously I get the general idea, but not the “How to”.
So with that all being said, Do or Not Do? That’s my question.

Welcome!
Hi there, I am Nicole. This blog is a combination of my little corner of the writing world and the previous website known as Freelance Writer's Exchange. Please be sure and leave a comment so I know you visited, and so I can come visit you.
Are you participating in NaNoWriMo in 2010? If you are, leave me a comment with your id and I'll add you as a friend! 2010 will be my 5th year winning, and my 7th year participating.
What I'm tweeting:
- Anyone doing any writing today? #amwriting
- My daughter is getting 8 teeth pulled this morning. Mostly babies. Any advice?
- Just bought Photoshop for the first time after drooling after it for years. Yes, I realize I am behind the times. Do you have it? Thoughts?
- Wrote a bunch on Friday night after a few too many drinks - I love what I wrote... that just seems odd. LOL
- Where in the WORLD would you move right now if money or distance were no object?
- If I could move anywhere in the world right now, it would be Northern Ireland. That is all. I am obsessed.
Funny how I was considering the same question. I say, “Why not?” If you don’t make it, it’s not a failure–it was simply an experiment in something new. If you do make it, then you’ve got your very first script. Even if it’s nothing you’d want to show anyone else, it’s something new, and you’ve flexed your writing muscles. I’d say if nothing else, it would force any creative writer to improve writing dialogue, since that’s really the basis of script writing (and the reason I’m contemplating doing it).
Jessie,
I probably will do it. I think the same way you do. What difference does it make honestly if I fail at Script Frenzy. I failed my first two attempts at NaNoWriMo and still went on to win four times after that. So why not. If you do it, let me know. We can cheer each other one, and support each other.
Have you ever even written a script? I have not. Not even close. LOL I’m ready though. I say bring it on!
DO IT.
Screnzy! is amazingly fun. I actually find it easier than NaNo in all honesty.
If you need any pointers, you know where to find me, madam.
